I’ve been really loving my wind down cocktail sessions lately. It’s a simple thing that brings me a lot of joy. Around sunset, I put on my puffy slippers, I pick out a record, and play with a recipe.
Sometimes I’ll pick a spec from my long list of cocktails I’ve been wanting to try, sometimes I just look at what’s at my bar and experiment, and sometimes I’ll just make my go-to-tried-and-true (which is generally a Penicillin or some kind of mezcal marg riff). This time was a look at what you got and make what sounds good.
So, for my Billie Holiday Wind Down Cocktail Sesh, I whipped up a pleasant whiskey, lemon, orgeat and lavender delight.

Cheers, friends. Enjoy thus lil’ dive into my home bar space. Oh and that’s Rodeo 🐾

2 oz Bourbon (@homebasespirits)
0.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
0.5 oz Orgeat (@smallhandfoods)
3 Dashes of Lavender Bitters (@allthebitter)

Combine all in a cocktail shaker. Add ice. Shake to chill. Serve over fresh ice in a rocks glass.

KAITEUR SWIZZLE 👌🏻

I’m on my yearly kick of Polynesian pop! 😂 And that usually comes with my favorite finds from Smuggler’s Cove. I absolutely love exploring this book, everytime I do, I learn something new and find more treasure. If you’re a fan of tiki, this is a must-have book to have at your bar. Gear up for a lot of tropical drinks coming your way, friends 🫡

KAITEUR SWIZZLE
2 oz Blended Aged Rum
0.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice
0.5 oz Maple Syrup
0.5 oz Velvet Falernum Liqueur
2 Dashes of Angostura Bitters

Combine ingredients into a Collins glass. Fill 3/4 of the glass with crushed or pebble ice. Using a bar spoon or swizzle stick, swizzle it up. Top with more crushed ice. Garnish with a sprig of mint and lime wheel. (Should have a swizzle napkin as well, but I didn’t have any on hand 🤷🏻‍♀️)

0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice

Shake vodka and lime with ice, then strain into a copper mug over fresh crushed ice. Top with ginger beer and garnish with lime.
