What's poppin, everyone? Been a lil minute since I posted. But it looks like we gotta Tipsy Bartender live episode on Memorial Day. Shoutout to the fallen soldiers and the families. Shoutout to the peeps that are/were in the armed forces. Anyway, it's a chill day for me. Getting back into the groove before the work grind kicks up tomorrow.
Enjoy the vibes of this live!
Now, this is a pretty cool video. I remember like over a decade ago my family would get the Costco vodka. The rumor was that it was like store-brand version of Grey Goose. However, it was not half bad. It was pretty smooth for the price point and it was nearly identical in a libation. Here Andre, the Sommelier, is actually doing a taste test (neat at that) of all the Costco-based spirits. Check it out:
I haven't had Cachaca in quite some time. It's still a bit expensive to get here in the states, even more of the bottom grade stuff. However, I'm trying to get some quality stuff just since the weather is getting nice. Anyway, peep some of the amazing libations below:

Now, this is pretty interesting. I've never seen a split between Scotch whisky and Irish whiskey in one drink before. I actually want to try this one day and see how it pairs up.
Recipe:
30 ml Scotch whisky 30 ml Irish whiskey 15 ml lemon juice 15 ml orgeat
With the weather starting to warm up, people are looking to have a good time and enjoy a great libation. Social gatherings, parties, and picturesque views in the background all just give this element of leisure. What better than to have the perfect cocktail in hand to set things off, right?
Mr. Erickson has provided us with some amazing heat to provide that liquid courage for us all. One of them is a throwback and the other are two originals. Check them out below:

I love libations with a bit of history and flair to them. This is a simple drink, but the ingredients are top-notch and it helps that there's some reference to yesteryear. I'd def drink this on a rainy day here.
1.5 oz. 100 Proof Bourbon 1 oz Grapefruit Juice .5 oz. Honey Syrup
This is perfect. Right in time for St. Paddy's weekend! Also, can't forget the TikTok ban, so I'm curious to see how many of these libations will appear before it happens.
Interesting name and concept. But you can see why in the video and the number of libations below.
