Imagine my surprise when I go down to Mexico and run into the drink of the summer 2024! El Charro Negro Is an old folk tale about a guy from a peasant family who always liked to dress well, even if it meant he’d go without food. One day, sick of his suffering he invokes the devil and trades away his soul for unimaginable riches. But when it came time to pay he mounted a horse and tried to outrun the devil. When the devil realized the man was going to double cross him he materialized in front of him, scaring his horse. The horse reared up to kick the devil and throws the man off. Suddenly the man’s flesh withers away until all that is left is a gold and silver Charro Suit over thee man’s bones. The man’s soul was banished to the torments of hell and is only allowed out to collect the devil’s debts. He always appears on a black horse in his gold and silver Charro Suit to lonely travelers who owe the devil! Charro Negro 2oz (60ml) Tequila Blanco (of your choice) 1/2oz (15ml) Lime Juice Approx. 4oz (120ml) Mexican Coke #charronegro #tequila #drinkofsummer2024 #mexico #cocktails #drink
#AD Today we’re partnered up with @marydowlingwhiskey to commemorate not only this fantastic whiskey but also Mary Dowling herself, The Mother Of Bourbon! There’s such rich whiskey history surrounding Mary Dowling who was a true Maverick. A distiller who ran a successful business at a time when it was unheard of for women, and who also challenged the government in the face of prohibition to continue to put out high-quality Bourbon. There’s no better way to honor her contribution than to create a cocktail that pays homage to the woman herself! So, let’s raise a glass and toast to Mary Dowling!

Originally called The New Orleans Fizz, this cocktail became so popular after its creation in 1888 that it took on the name of its creator – Henry C. Ramos of NOLA’s Imperial Cabinet Bar. Ramos eventually opened another bar called The Stag where the reputation for the drink grew so much that it was reported that something like 20 bartenders had to be employed to work on the drink simultaneously to keep up with demand and still they fell short. While alive Ramos kept the recipe for this drink close to his chest and history is split on whether or not his made it public knowledge before his death, there is a chance that the Ramos as we know it isn’t the original recipe. Charles H. Baker, author of the Gentleman’s Companion is of the opinion that he did and this recipe is the original.

The Syllbabub is a throwback all the way to George Washington’s America. It was not only a very fashionable drink of the era but also a close cousin to (if not a precursor of) Egg Nog. A little further info on the drink is that it’s based on a dish found in Cornish Cuisine also called a Syllabub which is made by curdling sweet cream with an acid like cider or wine and was popular from the 16th to 19th centuries.
