Yes, I know I’m posting this after Christmas… but who says cranberry season has to end? 😄 If you’ve got leftover cranberries, freeze them into cute big ice cubes and drop them into a spritz like I did. Festive vibes, any time of year.

A festive twist on the classic cocktail, blending whiskey with spiced gingerbread syrup. If you're looking for the perfect holiday cocktail to make, this bold and balanced sip is full of seasonal cheer!

This cocktail is my Japanese twist on a classic Dirty Martini, made with Japanese gin, Oka Kura Bermutto, and a splash of Mezzetta olive brine. Oka Kura Bermutto isn’t a traditional vermouth—it’s crafted from aromatized, shochu-fortified sake instead of wine. That base gives it a softer, rounder profile with gentle umami and floral notes, compared to the sharper wine-driven vermouths typically used in American olive martinis. Even with those delicate nuances, the drink stays unmistakably spirit-forward. The result is a Dirty Martini that’s savory but beautifully balanced - smooth, delicate, and surprisingly easy to love, even for someone who doesn’t usually reach for an olive martini.

A crisp pour of Prosecco over a gingerbread-shaped spiced apple cider ice cube that slowly melts into the glass, warming the bubbles with hints of cinnamon, clove, and baked-apple sweetness. Simple, sparkling, and perfect for holiday sipping.

Rich, velvety, and packed with depth, this take on a classic whiskey sour highlights the bold, roasted notes of black oolong tea. Infused into whiskey, the tea adds layers of smokiness and earthiness, balanced by the bright acidity of lemon and the smooth sweetness of maple syrup. The egg white brings a luscious foam, making each sip as silky as it is complex. And with oolong tea bringing its natural antioxidants into the mix, this cocktail offers depth of flavor with an extra little boost. Deep, smoky, and smooth—perfect for crisp autumn nights but just as enjoyable year-round. A whiskey sour with bold flavor, velvety texture, and a hint of oolong’s natural benefits. Would you try this twist?

Rich, bold, and irresistibly smooth, Midnight Amsterdam is a decadent fusion of espresso, amaretto, white crème de cacao, and genever. The deep nuttiness of amaretto, the velvety chocolate notes of crème de cacao, and the malty complexity of genever blend seamlessly with freshly brewed espresso. Perfect for a late-night indulgence, this cocktail is both invigorating and elegantly bittersweet.

A flirty fusion of prosecco and homemade strawberry syrup, perfect for toasting love, friendship, and all things sweet. Light, sparkling, and effortlessly elegant—because every Valentine’s (or Galentine’s) deserves a little pink perfection…even if it’s not as pink as I expected. 

A bold, fruit-forward twist on the classic Negroni, this cocktail blends smoky strawberry-infused mezcal with the bittersweet complexity of Casoni 1814 Aperitivo and the rich depth of Cocchi Storico Vermouth di Torino.
