Beautiful Booze

Cocktail time #AD21+ Excited to share one of my favorite cocktails, The Paper Plane, with y’all featuring @marydowlingwhiskey & for a little fun I have added a cloud foam! #marydowlingpartner The inspiration behind this cocktail was the EPIC story of Mary Dowling, The Mother of Bourbon. She was the most successful woman bourbon distiller during pre-prohibition and was the only owner to shift production to Mexico during prohibition. The journey of Mary reminds me of traveling from the US to Mexico which inspired this cocktail. I wanted to make a classic cocktail but with a modern twist which includes a cloud foam. The modern twist represents how Mary was ahead of her time! See recipe below: Layover in Mexico Ingredients 1 ounce Mary Dowling High Rye Bourbon Finished in Tequila Barrels 1 ounce Aperol 1 ounce Amaro 1 ounce Lemon Juice Citrus Cloud Foam (See recipe below) Method Add all ingredients to a shaker Shake the strain into coupe glass Top with foam and edible flower Citrus Cloud Foam Ingredients 3 Egg Whites 1/2 ounce Orange Liqueur 1/2 ounce Agave Syrup 1 ounce Lemon Juice Method Add all ingredients to a chilled ISI Shake -Charge -Shake -Charge -Shake Chill in refrigerator Shake then use *Mary Dowling Whiskeys have limited availability in stores but are available nationwide online.* #BeautifulBooze #MaryDowling #bourbon #Whiskey #PaperPlane”

Spicy Pineapple & Mango Sorbet Margarita for #NationalTequilaDay featuring @fierotequila Serrano #ad21+ I had to make a spicy margarita for y’all & it’s so easy using Fiero Tequila for spicy margaritas because it’s already infused with peppers! I used the serrano expression but there is also a habanero expression that’s even spicier 🔥. I love the vegetal notes and the consistent spice in every sip. It’s the easiest way to make spicy margaritas at home & for summer entertaining. See full recipe below: Spicy Pineapple & Mango Sorbet Margarita Ingredients 2 ounces Fiero Serrano Tequila 1 ounce Pineapple Juice ¼ ounce of Agave Syrup (or to taste) 1 scoop Mango Sorbet 1 ounce Lime Juice Method Rim glass with Tajin Add all ingredients to a shaker Shake then strain over ice Garnish with pineapple fronds, edible flower & dried lime wheel #BeautifulBooze #FieroTequila #SpicyMargarita #Tequila

Whiskey Time! We are trying @marydowlingwhiskey & I LOVE the story behind this whiskey y’all! #marydowlingpartner I started Beautiful Booze with a love for whiskey and I am so excited to work with a brand that has an EPIC story of a powerful woman behind it! First off, we are trying 2 expressions: -High Rye Bourbon Finished in Tequila Barrels with notes of light florals, tangy fruit & smoky tones. -Wheated Bourbon Double Oak Cask Strength with notes of chocolate, cherry, oak & spices. A few facts about Mary Dowling include: -She was the most successful and influential woman distiller in the male-dominated world of pre-prohibition bourbon. -She was the only owner to shift production to Mexico and escape dry laws - hiring Joseph Beam to dismantle and reassemble her distillery in Mexico, helping the Beam family stay afloat during prohibition. If you are like me and always searching for some AMAZING whiskey for your home bar, I recommend both of these bottles! It’s always fun to know the story behind the brand and I am so excited to share the story of Mary Dowling and celebrate her contributions in the bourbon industry! *Mary Dowling Whiskeys have limited availability in stores but are available nationwide online.* #BeautifulBooze #marydowling #bourbon #whiskey

Classic Daiquiri Time! The Daiquiri is one of my favorite cocktails (yall remember my destination Daiquiri series?) I love that it is only 3 ingredients: Rum, Fresh Lime Juice & Simple Syrup! It’s so easy to make at home. We are using one of my favorite rums for daiquiris @diplomaticorum and it’s the perfect bottle to add to your home bar. The daiquiri has gotten a bad reputation in the past for being overly sweet, fruity and frozen! None of these versions are the classic daiquiri and we are restoring the dignity of the daiquiri by making it the right way! Simple & elegant with 3 ingredients! See the recipe below: Daiquiri Ingredients 1 ¾ ounces Diplomatico Planas Rum ¾ ounce Simple Syrup 1 ounce Lime Juice Method Add all ingredients to a shaker Shake then strain into coupe glass Garnish with dried lime #ad21+ #BeautifulBooze #DiplomaticoDaiquiris #DignifiedDaquiris
