Last weekend Sean and I threw a 10-course meal with a few friends in our apartment. It’s been a tradition for the past couple years and the food and cocktails keep getting more and more complex as all of us grow more confident (and delightfully competitive :P) in the kitchen. I made one cocktail out of the @DeadRabbitNYC cocktail book… It’s complex but fitting for the occasion. 🙂…
I didn’t realize that rose was a flavor to play with until one day a couple years back on the 4th of July when I found rose flower water and orange flower water at Whole Foods. Now it’s a fun and interesting dimension to add to cocktails… Especially when blood oranges are in season. 🙂…
There’s just something about February that makes me want to make tiki mugs in pottery and drink rum cocktails. Luckily this recent wave of wishful thinking coincided with the launch of @diplomaticorum’s new white sipping rum that they sent as some #boozemail to try.

Been completely re-watching Mad Men for about the 14th time and have been very into old-fashioneds again as a result. In the @NYtimesfood cocktail book I found this recipe from @deathandconyc and made it to mix things up from the traditional Don Draper rye old-fashioned. 🙂 An old-fashioned with tequila and mezcal!…
This drink is basically a more complex whiskey sour from the #PDT cocktail book. Usually, I think the Maraschino liqueur overpowers most cocktails, but this one tastes more balanced than others. Also seemed fitting to photograph on top of a livestock feed sack from my mom. 🙂 A surprising bourbon cocktail with spicy elements!…
