We love an equal parts cocktail so here’s an easy one for a Sunday wind down! She is beauty, she is grace, she is the Negroni Bianco Bergamotto.

You know we love a good margarita around here, but this one might be my favorite one yet! It’s got such a unique flavor from the smokey/spicy vibes from the chipotle tequila, the freshness from the watermelon juice, all ties together soo good with the warmness from the honey syrup!

This sour is so unbelievably refreshing and smooth, and a little lower in alcohol content than your traditional gin or whiskey sour because we’re using sake! Sake has some lovely, delicate flavors that work so well with the freshness of cucumber and citrus.

What I love about a spritz is that you can be relatively experimental with the ingredients that you use — spritz are a part of the apéritifs family, which were designed to be served before a meal to stimulate the appetite. They're typically lightly alcoholic and more dry than sweet.

No better way to celebrate National Rum Day than with this riff on the classic Banana Daiquiri! The addition of pineapple juice and orgeat allows it to lean more towards tiki-style, and it’s one of those cocktails you’ll want to make before the summer’s over.

The beautiful thing about making a smash-style cocktail is that you can be really experimental with the fruit, herbs, and base spirit you choose to use. The addition of Amaro Montenegro really paired well with the sweet notes of the prickly pear, but this would also be really lovely with gin, or even tequila ;)

A mojito is one of the easiest cocktails to riff on! With the addition of fresh fruit, or changing up the base spirit, you’ve elevated this classic cocktail into something totally new and totally YOURS. You know I’m always looking for an excuse to watch the magic of Empress Gin happen.

Agua Fresca is such an easy weekday mock-tail, especially when you stumble across a really delicious watermelon, cantaloupe, or even cucumbers or strawberries! It’s a classic Mexican drink made by blending fruits and lime, sugar, and water (and feel free to spike it if that’s your vibe!).

This process was super interesting, and I was actually extremely impressed with the final product! It had a great amount of spice and a hint of corn which I’m surprised came through. Overall, I actually recommend making this is you’re a fan of Takis. It’s delicious!

We’re back with another warm weather thirst quencher with SILKS Irish Dry Gin! I wanted to play on the bright floral and honey notes that are present in this gin, and the raspberry gives it an extra level of tart freshness. Also…who doesn’t love a floral ice sphere moment!?

This Golden Berry Bee Sting is a spicy riff on the classic Bee’s Knees, so here’s for all the tequila lovers out there!

This is one of the cocktails I taught at my first in-person cocktail class, Sip & Snip! I wanted to chat through how easy it is to elevate one of the simplest cocktails, the vodka soda, with some fresh ingredients that are easily accessible.

If you’re looking for something easy, slightly sweet, and rather boozy — the Full Stop is your drink 🤸🏼♀️ the best part is that it’s equal parts!

What makes a smash, a smash? I like to think of a smash-style cocktail as the less fussy, more forgiving variation of a julep. It’s pretty open-ended and variable, as long as you include herbs, fruit, sugar, and some sort of base spirit.

Coming at ya with another single malt scotch summer sip (say that five times fast)! But in all seriousness, this is your reminder that you don’t need to sip scotch on the rocks and it can be enjoyed in bright, citrusy, herbaceous summer cocktails.

Adding Empress Gin to any cocktail will instantly turn any regular gin drink into straight up eye candy. The cucumber matched with the bergamot liqueur is an absolute refreshing summer sip.

I’ll be real with y’all—this is the first time I’ve ever made limoncello! I know there are several methods and ways to make it, but I am pretty thrilled with how this turned out! It’s perfectly sweet, not bitter at all, and it definitely doesn’t have that unfortunate lemon cleaning product flavor.

The Banana Daiquiri is a classic staple in cocktail culture. It’s best known in its appearance in The Godfather Part II, when Fredo foolishly asked Michael how to translate “Banana Daiquiri” in Spanish. Michael’s quickly faded smile indicates how fed up he is with his childish older brother — his idiocracy on full display.

Avocado is truly a slept on ingredient to add to your cocktails (you’d add it in your smoothie, wouldn’t you!?). It adds a layer of rich creaminess and it balances perfectly with a spicy, smoky mezcal.

Let’s use that sour cherry shrub that we made in a different style of cocktail! This one uses gin, and it’s bubbly, light, and refreshing.
