Beautiful Booze

New York City Bar Crawl Series STOP 2: @martinys_nyc We are so excited to be at our 2nd stop on the NYC Bar Crawl Series- Martiny’s is a Japanese-style cocktail bar in a cozy carriage house in Gramercy Park. I felt transported to Tokyo with accents of Manhattan Vibes throughout the night. @takuma0w is amazing to watch & his technique is perfection! The cocktails are served beautiful japanese glassware and Takuma is making us the tea ceremony cocktail which is an elegant cocktail preparation that mimics a tea ceremony with matcha tea, legent bourbon, cocoa and coconut water. Add this to your list- cheers y’all. 🎥: @littlelanemedia 🍹: @takuma0w #BeautifulBooze #nycbarcrawl #barcrawl #nycbars

Introducing the Southside Mezcal Cherry Spritz featuring @drinksebusca Mezcal! 🍒This is a cocktail to sip on to enjoy the last days of summer. This cocktail is a twist on one of my favorite gin cocktails; the Southside! I have used Mezcal as the base spirit, then added sparkling water, cherry syrup, mint, and lemon juice to really take it up a notch and add some late-summer vibes. Se Busca Mezcal is the perfect spirit to use in cocktails and it’s a great bottle to have in your home bar. I love using it as a base spirit in some of my favorite cocktails as it is so versatile and can be used in everything from an Old Fashioned to a Spritz. If y’all remember my last Se Busca Mezcal cocktail, I used it as the base spirit for a French 75 and it was so delish. Southside Mezcal Cherry Spritz Ingredients: 1.5 ounces Se Busca Mezcal 1 ounce cherry syrup 1 ounce lemon juice 5 mint leaves 3 ounces sparkling water Method: Add all ingredients to a shaker, except the sparkling water Shake, then strain over fresh ice Top with sparkling water Garnish with a lemon slice and cherry #BeautifulBooze #SeBusca #Mezcal #MezcalCocktail #MezcalRecipe

We are continuing the 10-year celebration with a fun cocktail featuring one of my fav mezcal brands @drinksebusca Mezcal. This cocktail is a twist on the classic French 75, but instead of gin, we are using Se Busca Mezcal for the base spirit! This mezcal is so versatile & the perfect spirit to substitute into your favorite classic cocktails to take the flavor next level with the cooked agave notes. It is great stirred, shaken, and everything in between, including this Tropical Mezcal 75 cocktail topped with sparkling wine. This is another cocktail from my book that showcases this beautiful mezcal with tropical notes and a bubbly finish, which is a perfect cocktail to toast to this 10-year anniversary milestone. In addition, I wanted to highlight & tell y’all a bit more about this brand; it is a family-run distillery, with a “rebellious” roasting method (using indirect heat to slowly roast the agave so the flavor is not overpowered by the smoke) and primarily using their own organic agaves, harvested by hand and cooked in a traditional ground oven. The cooked agaves are then crushed and mashed with a tahona stone driven by the family horses. See the full recipe below: Tropical Mezcal 75 Ingredients: 1 ounce Se Busca Mezcal 1 ounce lemon juice ¾ pineapple juice Top with sparkling wine *optional dash of agave if you like more sweetness Method: Add Se Busca Mezcal, lemon juice, and pineapple juice to a cocktail shaker Shake, then strain into a flute glass Top with sparkling wine, and garnish with a pineapple frond and lemon twist #BeautifulBooze #SeBusca #Mezcal #MezcalCocktail #MezcalRecipe
