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.
Read MoreI love a good riff on a classic Vesper Martini, and this one makes my mouth pucker just thinking about it. If you’re a fan of pickled peppers (think pepperoncini or piparra), don’t second guess adding a little bit of the brine to your next martini.
Read MoreAvocado 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.
Read MoreLet’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.
Read MoreTime for a true classic to really put you in your feels: The French 75. Ironically enough, it’s the most difficult to pinpoint where most classic cocktails truly originate — the French 75 being one of them. We’re certain that the combination of lemon, sugar, gin (or cognac?), and champagne is definitely an intoxicating, yet delightful concoction.
Read MoreI love experimenting with different variations of margaritas, because the possibilities are so endless! For this spicy strawberry riff, I used orgeat (instead of a traditional agave) syrup, which gave it this incredible creaminess and nuttiness.
Read MoreThis blue coconut mai tai is a little far from the authentic original, but I can’t pass up an opportunity to use blue curaçao in a tasteful way 😉 the color is seriously next level, and the fact that it tastes better than it looks is a bonus!
Read MoreIf there’s one cocktail you should have under your belt, it’s the frozen margarita! Whenever I make frozen margaritas in a pitcher if I’m hosting guests, I just multiply a single recipe by however many margs I’m making.
Read MoreThis drink is smokey from the mezcal, but balanced out beautifully by the natural sweetness in the bell pepper. You get a little tang from the red wine syrup and then a BANG from the spicy bitters. I’ll be drinking this all summer long — I’m obsessed!
Read MoreWe all know how much of a gin lover I am — this rose gin is distilled with delicate botanicals with a crisp citrus and spiced rose taste. It’s absolute perfection in this lavender bee’s knees.

Read MoreIt’s no secret that mango margaritas are a fan favorite, so let’s make one that’s frozen and spicy (which I will be drinking all summer) — this is your sign not to skip out on the good tequila. This makes 2 large drinks or 4 smaller drinks.
Read MoreThis cocktail was fully inspired by Leslie Kirchhoff and all the work she does with Disco Cubes & Disco Inferno! Definitely give her a follow if you haven’t already — her content is what cocktail dreams are made of.
Read MoreI 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.
Read MoreIt’s national Amaretto Day, so let’s celebrate with this riff on a Paper Plane! Surprisingly enough, Amaretto (such as the well-known Disaronno) is not made with almonds, or even nuts! To achieve this almond flavor, it’s made with oil extracted from bitter apricot kernels, giving it a slight bitterness.
Read MoreThis week we’re talking about the Ramos Gin Fizz — there are so many techniques out there on how to perfect this cocktail, and I can’t wait to perfect my method. The goal is for you to have a sturdy (almost meringue like) frothy head.
Read MoreHappy Easter! I’m not one for super sweet cocktails, but something about this holiday makes me want to indulge in as many sweets as possible… and why not add an ✨entire egg✨?
