Japan, meet Ireland. Who doesn’t love a refreshing highball? This one featuring @redbreastus does not disappoint, in fact it may take the top spot for me with the sherry addition. THE HIDDEN TREASURE 1.5 oz Redbreast 12 year .25 oz Tio Pepe Sherry .25 oz simple syrup 3 dashes Peychaud’s bitters Top with soda water Garnish with an orange wheel Redbreasts’ signature bottling, the 12 year is matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks. In other words, it’s a flavor bomb that should always have a spot in your home bar. Slainté! #RedbreastWhiskeyUS #RedbreastPartner #barrelageddad

Hey Phoenix friends, new Sportsbook alert! The @unibetus Sportsbook @turfparadise invited me to create some themed cocktails as they look to elevate the experience and expand their beverage offerings. This is a great place to catch a sporting event, place a bet or just hang out and grab some drinks. I had a great time behind the bar and thanks to all those that came out! My favorite cocktail was the Salty Underdog with jalapeño infused tequila, Amaro Montenegro, grapefruit, lime and agave syrup. If you stop in say hi to Dana, she’ll take care of ya. Cheers! #Ad #Unibet #TurfParadise #Barrelageddad

Raising a glass to all the Dads today 🥃 Father’s Day took on new meaning for me when I became a Dad in 2011. It’s something I actually dreamed about as a kid. It took on a yet another, albeit different, meaning when I suddenly lost my Stepdad to a heart attack in 2018 and my Dad to cancer in 2022. Today, it’s about honoring their legacy and doing my best to create one for my family and I. This year in lieu of giving gifts to my Dads, I’m gifting those that have played a father figure role in my life through their own legacy, continued support and example. A whiskey steeped in tradition, @redbreastwhiskeyus 12 year makes the perfect gift for such an occasion. To my fellow Dads out there (and you single moms doing all the work!), here’s to you. #RedbreastPartner #RedbreastWhiskeyUS #barrelageddad

Any vinyl fans out there? 🎵 (wait for it) Occasionally I’ll come across some old photos, start rifling through them and next thing you know some tunes are goin’, lights are dimmed and a glass of whiskey appears in my hand. It happens. Should you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend @redbreastwhiskeyus 12 year. There’s something about those bold, pot still flavors that always hit the spot. For me, it’s also has one of the greatest and most unique noses of any whiskey I’ve ever had. Raising a glass to memories and those no longer with us. Happy 15 year anniversary babe. #RedbreastPartner #RedbreastWhiskeyUS #barrelageddad

Let’s talk tequila! I’m digging this brand new small batch expression from @Patron. A perfect balance of smoky and sweet, PATRÓN Ahumado Reposado makes for an amazing Old Fashioned. #PatronPartner   PATRÓN Ahumado Old Fashioned 2 oz PATRÓN Ahumado Reposado 0.25 oz Agave Nectar 3–4 dashes of Angostura Bitters 1 orange peel    This Old Fashioned made for a perfect way to wind down and hang with family. I enjoy it neat too, as it offers a lingering smoky taste, with natural sweetness that’s balanced with notes of spices, black pepper, and cooked agave.    Salud! Definitely check this one out.   #PatronAhumado #patrontequila #barrelageddad #oldfashioned

But that color! 🍉 Hard to beat a good margarita on a warm spring day. Mix this one up for a great balance of sweet and spicy. SPICY WATERMELON MARGARITA 2 oz blanco tequila 3/4 oz orange liqueur 1 oz lime juice 1 small pinch of salt 3-4 watermelon cubes 2-3 slices of fresh jalapeño Add all ingredients to a shaking tin with ice, muddle, shake then fine strain. Garnish with a lime wheel and jalapeño slice. Salud! #barrelageddad #spicymargarita

My time of hitting the bars into the wee morning hours have come and gone. This is more akin to what St. Patrick’s Day looks like in my house – a chill vibe with some @redbreastwhiskeyus – of course. It’s my favorite Irish sipper but it can also make some amazing cocktails, like this one from Pamela Wiznitzer. HEAD OF STEAM 1 ½ parts Redbreast 12 yr. Irish Whiskey 1 part Sweet Vermouth 1/2 part Pedro Ximénez sherry 4 dashes Dr. Adam Elmegirab’s The Dead Rabbit Orinoco bitters 4 dashes Bittermens Xocolatl Mole bitters Garnish: Expressed orange twist, discard after However you choose to imbibe it this year, share the experience and Sláinte! #RedbreastPartner #RedbreastWhiskeyUS #barrelageddad

Hot Chocolate SZN 🔥 Pretty sure @sarahbarthel intro lyrics are “co-coa” in this @phantogram jam (don’t try to change my mind). Elevate your hot chocolate with this tried and true recipe I dip into every year featuring Ancho Reyes - a chile liqueur that is always in my bar cabinet. Not sponsored, I just love the stuff. COCOA CALIENTE 2 oz @anchoreyes Chile Liqueur 5 oz Hot Chocolate Toasted marshmallows 1 Pinch Cinnamon Powder (flame show optional) The subtle smoke and spice of the ancho chile is a perfect compliment to the chocolate. If you want it a bit more ‘leaded’, try a split base of 1 oz tequila or mezcal and 1 oz Ancho Reyes. If I was a ski bum this’d be my go to. Cheers! #barrelageddad #hotchocolate

AI made me a superhero, not mad about it. Superpowers include: - Making clear ice - Forgetting cocktail specs that I just read - Ability to sense when someone touches the thermostat Kryptonite: Bloody Marys ☠️ My favorite might be the last one which looks like a mashup of myself and Taika Watiti 😂 Have a good weekend! #barrelageddad #lensaapp #aiportraits #AI

Holiday cocktail comin’ up! 🎁 #Ad I’ve partnered with @elijahcraig, one of the first quality whiskies that started my journey, to bring you a simple and delicious holiday cocktail featuring their Rye whiskey. Rich tasting notes of baking spices and honey, backed up by smooth oak and 94 proof make it ideal for cocktails – and this festive infusion: PECANHATTAN 2 oz Pecan infused Elijah Craig Rye  1 oz Sweet Vermouth 1 barspoon Luxardo cherry syrup 2 dashes Aztec Chocolate bitters 1 dash Orange bitters Lemon oil expression Add a good handful of pecans and 12 oz of whiskey to a mason jar. Shake, seal and refrigerate for 3-4 days, shaking occasionally. Fine strain out the solids, store in the fridge. You can also use this in a number of cocktails like Old Fashioneds, Mules, Sazeracs etc. Happy holidays and cheers! #elijahcraig #21+ #barrelageddad

You can do dis. 👍🏼 [SAVE 30% - Link in bio] I’ve held off from picking up any of the “top-of-the-glass” smokers out there …until I saw this metal one. The @hazeysmoker is expertly crafted from 304 stainless-steel to deliver the most unadulterated form of wood infusion possible into your favorite spirit without any interfering scent from the smoker itself (or the previous 27 burns). Cleans up just like washing a dish. If you can use a torch, you can use this. Last, it comes in a nice quality boxy and presentation if you’re looking for a BAD approved gift (see stories). While they offer a lot of great wood types (even lavender!), I opted for rosemary to try out the product’s versatility and put a winter spin on a cocktail I overlook too often: ROSEMARY SMOKED WHISKEY SOUR 1.5-2 oz whiskey (I opted for a wheated bourbon) 3/4 oz lemon juice 3/4 oz honey syrup (instead of simple for more winter vibe) 1/2 oz egg white Add ingredients in a shaking tin, dry shake, add ice, shake. Double strain into rocks glass over ice. Express lemon oils over drink (neutralizes the egg aroma). Garnish with a lemon twist wrapped sprig of rosemary. Hit the link in my bio and use code BAD30 to save 30% until 12/31/22. Now get you and your sweatpants back to the couch. Shoutout to the service industry who often have to work holidays! Tip big. 🙏🏼 #ad #barrelageddad #hazeysmoker #cocktailsmoker

Commence Thanksgiving weekend. PSA: The golf course is the only place Fireball is acceptable. #fyp #golfaz #reels #golf #barrelageddad #golftime

Hello, again 👋🏼 (Recipe below) Back from a good break from content creation. TBH, I was pretty burnt out on it. More on that below, but first, a cocktail. Recently picked up a bottle of Amaro Meletti (@meletti_official). You need this in your home bar. I’m all about simple cocktails these days and it doesn’t get much simpler than this… MEZCALLETTI 1 oz Mezcal OR Reposado Tequila 1 oz Amaro Meletti 2 dash orange bitters (optional) Lemon oil expression A ton of complex flavors here! Great after dinner drink. So my life outside IG has changed a lot since I started this in 2016, as they tend to do. My kids are older, my wife is almost 2 years sober and I couldn’t be more proud of her. The reality is cocktails at home have taken a back seat for a while – and I’m perfectly ok with that. This made me question where to go next with this page. Kill it? Change focus? I didn’t want to keep doing it if I didn’t have a real passion behind it. If you know me at all, you know I’ve never been in this for “followers”. In fact I think I’ve been sitting at 14-16k for two YEARS. Doesn’t bother me. Sure, I’ve ridden the dopamine roller coaster of seeing a post explode or follower count jump overnight and it IS addicting (if you haven’t looked into the science of this, please do, it’s amazing…and frightening). But, it’s all too easy to lose your ‘why’ and even yourself on that ride. Authenticity and creativity are paramount for me and that will never change. While this has always been a side gig/hobby for me, it’s strange that I’ve still felt ‘boxed’ in and limited on what I could or couldn’t post here. All that to say, change is a comin’. I can’t tell you what it will look like, but there’s no sense in feeling constricted by a label or single subject matter. Today might be a cocktail, tomorrow a dumb Dad reel. Who knows? Life is a journey and I’m here for the ride, whatever that looks like. You do you. #barrelageddad
