A Tale of Two Cities (Tipsy Bartender)

Hot Buttered Rum (Tipsy Bartender)

I've certainly had this a few times in my life. It's a really tasty winter drink! Honestly, the recipe here needs some brown sugar - otherwise, you have a rum Sour with butter. So, I will modify it a bit.

6 oz Boiling Water
Slice Lemon Peel
Brown Sugar
Small Square of Butter
Cinnamon Stick

Matcha Man Sour (Tipsy Bartender)

I think it's always nice to add a rich egg white especially to sour drinks. This is on a bit of different tip because you don't usually make full cocktails with sake. Typically, you sip it neat, as a shot or a bomb. Check out the recipe - pretty interesting stuff.


Recipe
2 oz. Sake
1 oz. Lemon Juice
¾ oz. Matcha Syrup
¼ oz. Peach Liqueur
1 Egg White
Garnish: Grated Lemon Zest, Matcha Powder

How to Make the Hot Peppermint Patty Cocktail (Common Man Cocktails)

This is right on schedule. Thanksgiving next week and Christmas a bit more than a month away. I already feel the temperatures dropping and the wind picking up. It's quite chilly might I add. But yes, there's nothing like a great holiday cocktail especially one that's peppermint flavored. I like the take off of Archer as well. If you don't get the reference, I'll post a link to a video below. Here's the recipe:

1 1/4 oz. Peppermint schnapps
1 1/4 oz. Green crème de menthe
5 oz. Hot cocoa
Garnish Whipped cream





Here's a piece of the episode of Archer:

1/2 oz Cabbage rum*(created by Combine ½ head purple cabbage, chopped, with 4 oz white rum in a blender, and blend on high until smooth. Strain using a fine-mesh strainer)

10 Millennial Cocktail Experts' All-Time Favorite Mix (Featured Post)

I'm getting to this a little late, but I was recently featured on a blog called Alcoline for a post entitled 10 Millennial Cocktail Experts' All Time Favorite Mix. It was certainly humbling to get a feature on a growing site, especially with the list of cocktail experts or content creators who have penchant for a good libation.



Of course, one of my favs is the Dark and Stormy. Simple and to the point. Gets you where you need to be and very tasty/balanced. Here's a brief blurb about what I had to say on that drink and libations in general:

"Dirty Little" Secrets About the Vodka Industry? (Common Man Cocktails)

I always appreciate secrets or tricks to the trade when it comes to any kind of industry. Marketing is one of the most important aspects, and without that, it's hard to sell an product. If you're into business of any kind, you know that the end of the day you're selling perception for a profit. People want what they can't have, and will aspire to get "The Best." There are some great premium brands on the market, but a lot of them chop things down or add in their own special "ingredients" to basically get you to pay the higher price. This is a great video I'd say on getting on your feet wet when it comes to buying a spirit. Always a great job explaining things, Derrick. Salute.

The Bruce Lee of Bartending - World's Greatest Flair Bartender

I can always appreciate great showmanship especially when it comes to creative things like bartending. You can tell Hsu has a great spirit and passion for this kind of industry. It's like Game of Death mixed with a bottle of Vodka. Wait a minute? 0_o.

Penicillin Cocktail (Liquor.com)

You know..it's crazy. I've had some interesting drinks (Absinthe included), but I don't think I've ever tried a Penicillin before. Hmmm. I know some people believe mixing things with a good whisky (such as in this video) is blasphemy, but a good cocktail is a good cocktail. Point. Blank. Period. Besides, honey and sour notes always work well especially in the summer time.

Recipe
2 oz Blended scotch whisky
¾ oz Lemon juice
¾ oz Honey-ginger syrup*
¼ oz Islay single malt scotch

Garnish: Candied ginger
Glass: Old Fashioned, rocks

Blueberry Gin Sour (Tipsy Bartender)

It's always a good vibe when you put sour mix, egg white, and Gin together. Definitely a great, wavy, and classy vibe comes along.

Dash Egg White
Blueberries
Garnish: Lemon Peel
