Hot Toddy and a raging thunderstorm: name a better duo.

Part of what sets @bloodmonkeygin apart in the oversaturated gin market is its unique & bold tasting notes. Aside from using traditional gin botanicals, Blood Monkey’s original expression is also packed full of flavor from more exotic notes like Sezchuan pepper, lime leaf and Irish rosemary, to name a few. #cutthebull 🍸🐒 • • • #irish #gin #craft #bloodmonkeygin #ginlovers #craftcocktails #drinkstagram #imbibe #imbibegram #sip #botanicals

Let’s talk about the versatility of @viskicraft mixing glasses. I own possibly too many mixing glasses, all varying in size, style, weight and purpose but I am highlighting here 2 of my favorites that I seem to reach for constantly. I opted to craft the same cocktail in both to easily show the size and capacity difference in each and…it’s worth mentioning that this cocktail was insanely tasty 🫶🏼🥃 Chipotle Tequila Old Fash 🌶️🍑🥃 •@tanteotequila Chipotle tequila •@tanteotequila Blanco tequila •Peach infused agave •Chipotle cacao bitters • • • #viski #viskicraft #essentials #glassware #oldfashioned #tequila #chipotle #fyp #cocktail #cocktails #mixing #mixingglass #sip #classy #drinkstagram #homebar #bartender #imbibe #imbibegram

Honored and excited to be joining Outcast Brands as New York brand ambassador for @bloodmonkeygin 🍸 As a gin lover, this is an incredibly innovative brand that I’ve been interested in and have had my eye on for quite some time and it’s wonderful to align with them to bring this tasty Irish craft gin to the US market. With bold botanicals like juniper berry, Irish rosemary, coriander, chamomile, lime leaf and licorice (amongst others) their flagship gin recipe follows in the footsteps of -and is inspired by -the original 17th Century Genever recipe. The name Blood Monkey and signature drill bit design on the bottle are a nod to the act of “bleeding the monkey”, when 17th century sailors drilled into the officers barrels on board to steal the liquor inside. 🐒🍸 Cheers to a new venture and I hope to bring you some great @bloodmonkeygin content along the way! 🖤 • • • #gin #fyp #bloodmonkeygin #craftgin #craftcocktails #irish #irishgin #ginlovers #sippinggin #sip #spirits
