Chilled Earl Grey, fresh lemon, muddled blueberries and a touch of sweetness bring bright citrus, tea and fruit flavours to the glass.

3 oz Veuve Rich

0.75 oz Lemon Juice
0.5 oz Simple Syrup
1 Dash Vegan Foamer
Muddled Blueberries
Blueberry + Lemon Garnish 🍋🫐

One bottle. Endless summer possibilities. ☀️

Elderflower Rhubarb Spritz 🌸🍹

My go-to kind of summer cocktail: light, floral, tart, and ridiculously refreshing.

The rhubarb brings that bright, tangy fruitiness, while elderflower adds a soft floral sweetness, all rounded out with sparkling w**e and a splash of soda.

Recipe:
🥂 3 parts sparkling w**e
🌿 1 part rhubarb liqueur
🌸 1 part elderflower liqueur
🫧 1 part soda

Build over ice, give it a gentle stir, and garnish with fresh rhubarb or an edible flower.

Summer in a glass. ☀️

Gatorw**e Part 2!

150K+ views later… I’m back to review Gatorw**e again. 😂🍷🐊

Apparently, the internet has informed me that I didn’t make it correctly the first time.

So naturally, I had to run it back.

Same questionable combination. Fresh attempt. Higher expectations.

Was I wrong the first time? Or is Gatorw**e still exactly what I thought it was? 👀

Let’s settle this once and for all.

Pro Tips for the Perfect New York Sour 🍷🥃

The New York Sour looks simple, but a few small details make a huge difference.

🍋 Balance your sour — fresh lemon and the right amount of sweetness are key.
🥃 Use a bold wh***ey — Bourbon or Rye with enough character to stand up to the citrus.
🧊 Shake hard & chill it down — a proper shake gives you the right dilution and texture.
🍷 Float the w**e slowly — pour it gently over the back of a spoon for that clean, layered finish.
🥂 Choose the right w**e — a dry, fruit-forward red works best without making the cocktail too sweet.

The result? Tart, rich, silky, and beautifully layered.

Save this for your next cocktail night. 🍷

COMMON GROUND 🍓🌿

This is my submission for the Negroni Week cocktail challenge!

This drink represents my community in a glass. The bar has always been a place where different people, backgrounds, ideas, and flavours come together. For me, that’s what Common Ground is all about: finding the things that connect us, even when we come from completely different places.

My Negroni riff brings together strawberry-infused Espolòn Tequila, Campari, yuzu sake, and Giffard Rhubarb. Sweet, bitter, tart, bright — different ingredients that somehow belong together.

Because that’s what a great bar community does. It gives us common ground.

Part 3/3: The heavy hitter of orange liqueurs 🥃🍊

We saved the richest for last. If Triple Sec is bright and Curaçao is spiced, Grand Marnier is pure luxury.

Here’s why it stands in a league of its own:
🥃 The Base: Unlike neutral-grain triple secs, Grand Marnier is made with a French Cognac base (51% Cognac).

🍊 The Flavor: Bitter Caribbean orange peel blended with oak, vanilla, and dark fruit notes from barrel aging.

🍹 How to Use It: It’s heavier, so it shines in dark-spirit drinks (like a Sidecar), elevates a Cadillac Margarita, or works as a neat digestif after dinner.

💡 The Series Cheat Sheet:
• Triple Sec = Crisp & dry (Neutral spirit base)
• Curaçao = Round & spiced (Brandy base)
• Grand Marnier = Rich & complex (Cognac base)

📌 Missed Part 1 (Curaçao) or Part 2 (Triple Sec)? Check out the previous reels on my profile!

Part 2/3: What is Curaçao actually made of? 🍊

If you’ve ever wondered why it’s bright blue (or how it’s different from Triple Sec), here’s the quick breakdown: 

🍊 The Origin: Made from the dried peels of the bitter Laraha orange, native to the island of Curaçao.

🥃 The Base: Traditional Curaçao uses a brandy spirit base, giving it a rounder, richer, and slightly spiced depth.

💙 The Blue Color: It’s purely aesthetic! The food dye adds zero flavor, but it gives tiki drinks that iconic look.

🍹 Best Used In: Mai Tais, Blue Hawaiians, or upgraded Margaritas. 

Save this for the next time you’re building a cocktail! 📌
