Strawberry Basil Negroni

I bought too much basil so be prepared for lots of basil content! But in all seriousness, we all know how much I love Negronis, so this warm-weather, strawberry basil riff on the all time classic is so appropriate for the 60° weather.

Long Island Iced Tea

Ahhh, the LIT. It’s loved and hated by so many — but done properly (without using nasty store-bought sour mix), it can actually taste pretty good!

Lo-Fi Clover Club

It wouldn’t be a proper Valentine’s Day celebration without a Clover Club! You know I’ve been absolutely obsessing over Lo-Fi Aperitifs Gentian Amaro, which is the ✨ chef’s kiss 😙🤌 addition to this classic. The familiar sweetness of the raspberry paired with the floral, hibiscus flavor of the amaro couldn’t get any better.

The Floradora

The Floradora is a recipe that you can use delicious raspberry syrup with! The Floradora has a long history that actually dates back to the early 1900s — inspired by Broadway show called Florodora (opened in London in 1899 and American Broadway in 1900) because it starred girls wearing frilly pink dresses.

Valentine's 75

As we bid adieu to to dry/damp January, we welcome February (with open arms) with this super boozy-forward Valentine’s day cocktail. As lovely as it was to slow down a bit last month, I’m ready for more absinthe-misted cocktails in my life!

Pineapple Sage Smash

Playing around with Empress Gin always turns out to be the most beautiful creations! This cocktail was so pretty (& tasty!) I had to share it. Gin meets island vibes?

The Gibson

The Gibson is for all of those who have more of a savory than sweet-tooth, so if you’re one to love traditional dirty martinis (think bleu-cheesed stuffed olives, YUM!), this classic cocktail is right up your alley. And hey, I love a drink with a snack.

Empress Alexander

This brilliant riff on a traditional Alexander swaps out cognac for Empress Gin and I couldn’t be more awe-struck by this frosty blue color! I decided to experiment a little bit further by using butterscotch schnapps instead of creme de cacao, and the results were so tasty. The notes of toasted nuttiness from the butterscotch pair so well with the dark complexity of the chocolate bitters, which ultimately balances perfectly with the brightness of Empress.

The Grinch's Glory

I had two goals in mind when creating this drink: one, to make something green, and two, to experiment with some of the liqueurs hiding in the back of my bar cabinet. After a bit of trial and error, the Grinch’s Glory was born — it’s herbal, fresh, and strong.

Pineapple Cherry Collins

Something the pairing of pineapple and cherries reminds me of the holidays — the cherry syrup from the Luxardo brandied cherries absolutely MAKES this drink; don’t skip out on this step!

Maple Orange Sour

I’m a sucker for a good sour — but what makes a good sour, good, you ask? FRESHLY SQUEEZED CITRUS. Trust me, it makes a difference — especially when the main ingredient is citrus!

Cinnamon Walnut Gin Sour

I’m always looking for an excuse to either make a cocktail with egg whites or use these black walnut bitters from Fee Brothers. This sour recipe can go really nicely with either gin or bourbon, so don’t be afraid to experiment!

Witch's Aviation

I feel like one of the Sanderson sisters whenever I add a little bit of edible glitter and dry ice to this beautiful riff on an Aviation. Substituting the Luxardo Maraschino with Elderflower liqueur gives it a bit more floral sweetness, and the Empress Gin just takes it to that lovely hue of purple that is so needed!
