WEEKLY COCKTAIL ROUND-UP | FILIPINO COCKTAILS! 🇵🇭

These are some of my favorite recipes that I’ve made over the last few years. I love them because they’re almost all mostly based on Filipino desserts that loved as a kid. Obviously there’s a lot of nostalgia in these recipes but also a lot of my Lola’s (grandmother) inspiration for the flavors going on here. I honestly can’t pick a favorite out of the bunch so y’all will just have to try them out for yourselves and let me know.

Drop a line below and tell me what you want to see in the next round up, cheers y’all.

Scroll to the last side if you just want me to send these recipe cards to your DMs 📲

Made this for Charleston Wine + Food with Kultura and Kaya | Neighborhood Restaurant & Bar - can’t go wrong with coconut and pandan.

One of my fav Filipino recipes from this year, this is one of my fav Filipino dessert/street foods.

An ube inspired margarita riff.

Okay, this was the probably my fav because you can eat it like cereal while drinking it like a cocktail. Corn and condensed milk make it nostalgic. Don’t knock it till you try it.

Coconut pandan daiquiri. Served in a coconut 🥥 c

The ube version of a daiquiri

A quick collab with Tanduay Rum - a Filipino rum my dad and uncles used to drink. Paired with a classic Filipino street food. Banana-cue!

Are you noticing a theme here with Buko pandan?

As nostalgic as a recipe can get… my nanay’s flan as an old fashioned.

Believe it or not, this was our 3rd doctors appointment today 😅

Being a dad of 2 elementary school kids and working from home always brings its challenges but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

Before kids, I remember thinking how “busy” life was and how I had “no time” to do anything 😂 Like with anything else it has its ups and downs but at the end of the day, I love being a dad.

Today was quite the day, everyone is fine and now we’ve got a great story to tell. Never a dull moment in this house 🙃

WEEKLY COCKTAIL ROUNDUP: BANANA Recipes! 🍌

Drop an “BANANA” below and I’ll send these SEVEN recipe cards. That way you can save all 7 to your camera roll for future reference.

What do you want to see on the next roundup of recipes?? 😬 just drop a suggestion below and I’ll make it happen.

Cheers y’all! Catch you on next week’s round up.

Drop an “BANANA” below and I’ll send these SEVEN recipe cards.

Take a Negroni template and add banana liqueur and black walnut bitters. The Amontillado Sherry brings almond-forward richness, Campari stays bitter, and gin keeps it structured. Bruleed banana on top is the proof this works.

American whiskey, Campari, banana liqueur, and an absinthe rinse. Smoked salt on a bruleed salted banana takes this from clever to essential. It’s savory, smoky, and dangerously good.

Banana-cue oleo brings something you’ve never seen in a cocktail before. Rum, banana liqueur, Angostura bitters, saline for salinity. Garnished with a hot banana-cue and banana leaf. This is textural and unexpected.

The Tiki Old Fashioned bridges traditional and tropical. Rum base, Stiggins pineapple, Banane du Bresil, and that tiki 500 bitters add complexity. It’s herbaceous, fruity, and designed for sipping, not rushing.

This is what happens when you upgrade a Boulevardier with banana. 100 proof bourbon brings backbone, Campari stays sharp, and banana liqueur with Amontillado Sherry creates caramelized sweetness. The bruleed garnish finishes it.

Irish whisky meets Crème de Banane in this one. White pepper bitters bring sharpness, yellow Chartreuse adds herbal depth, and a bruleed banana garnish ties it all together. This is a sophisticated spin on a classic that actually works.

Via Tyler Zielinski | Entrepreneurial Bartender! Mezcal, Fino Sherry, Tempus Fugit banana liqueur, verjus, and simple syrup. This one plays by its own rules.

Drop an “BANANA” below and I’ll send these SEVEN recipe cards.

Out of office ✌🏾

Spending the past few days in Portugal 🇵🇹 so far we’ve visited:

Day 1: Lisbon
Day 2: Sintra
Day 3: Porto
Day 4: Duoro Valley + Pinhao

Tomorrow is our last full day and we’ll be headed back to Lisbon. So far we’ve been absolutely blown away by this country’s beauty and the hospitality of the locals who live here. We will definitely be back.

In the meantime tell me how you spend the last 24 hours in Lisbon below!
