Gin Basil Smash

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.

Glenlivet's Coco Lime Smash

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.

Homemade Limoncello

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.

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.

Blue Coconut Mai Tai

This 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!
