Jack Daniels Fall Festival 🥃
Super fun and creative event in the beautiful Temecula Wine Country.
All Jack Daniels inspired cocktails and cuisine.
I was tasked to riff on 3 classic, whiskey based cocktails and create 3 of my own. All incorporating Jack Daniels.
The chefs in attendance were asked to come up with 3 Fall inspired entrees using Jack Daniels in their recipes.
Amazingly delicious, fun, and creative evening with some very talented people.
Happy Fall y’all 🍁

Mixology and Cocktail education the other night with this wonderful group of women.
They learned about the anatomy of a proper cocktail, the history of the cocktails they made, and gained a better understanding of spirits, liqueurs, mixers, and garnishes.
We mixed up Boulevardiers, Old Fashioned’s, variations of Mules, Paloma’s and Manhattans.
By the end of the night they were proficient with the Hawthorn strainer, tulip strainer, mixing glass, jigger, and bar spoon.
Well done ladies, you all did great.
Cheers!
