Strawberry Cheesecake Sour
This cocktail was inspired by the Bols Strawberry Cheesecake recipe.
The strawberry comes through bright and sweet, the lemon keeps it fresh, and the yogurt liqueur gives it that creamy tang that makes it taste weirdly close to an actual slice of strawberry cheesecake. The egg white ties it all together into a smooth, airy sip that feels indulgent without being heavy.
If you love dessert cocktails but still want something balanced, this one’s for you. 🍓💕
Strawberry Cardamom Kiss
This drink is sweet, soft, and seriously romantic, the kind of cocktail that feels perfect for Galentine’s, Valentine’s, or honestly just a cute night in.
For this recipe, I infused fresh strawberries into SWOL Tequila, a limited-edition, small-batch añejo made from top-grade Blue Weber agave. To complement the strawberry infusion, I added a few dashes of cardamom bitters. The bitters bring a gentle floral warmth and aromatic lift that pairs beautifully with SWOL’s natural añejo notes
Whether you’re serving this at a party or pouring yourself a moment to savor, Strawberry Cardamom Kiss strikes that perfect balance of sweet, smooth, and sophisticated.

Japanese Bermutto Dirty Martini
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.
Spiced Apple Cider Spritz
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.
Oolong Black Tea Whiskey Sour
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?
