Life is going to be a bit crazy here soon. . I’ll be leaving my full-time job at the end of this month and switching into being a freelance “creative.” I’m not even 100% sure what that even means, but I’m excited to find out. . Thank you all for following me, commenting on my posts and supporting me along the way. Here’s to a new season of life 🥂📸 . Also, @ncanada is my new personal profile pic photographer 🙌🏼 Thanks for making me look cool man! . #highproofpreacher
This vintage glass has been around 🌎 . @sashadallasgirl and @elementshrub started a campaign called @sendgoodwill that passes vintage glassware around the cocktail community and encourages building relationships. After me, this glass will be on its way to Will & Kaitlyn of @kaleandcocktail 📦 so be sure to give them a follow to see what they come up with next! . I recently received a bottle of Pinot Noir finished American Whiskey from Portland’s @bullrundistillery (aged 10 years, then rested in Pinot Noir casks for 15 months). I’ve been enjoying it neat but it also makes an amazing cocktail. I also utilized several other local products in this recipe that are worth checking out. . 2 oz Pinot Noir Finished Whiskey @bullrundistillery ½ oz Cascadia Bitter @newdealpdx ½ oz Dolin dry vermouth 1 dash barrel aged aromatic bitters @thebitterhousewife 1 tsp Pinot Noir reduction . Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass and stir with ice. Strain into coupe and garnish with a skewered orange peel and brandied cherry ✌🏼 . #highproofpreacher
Had a fun time taking some photos for @distilleryrow at @victoria_pdx the other day 📸 . The cool peeps at Victoria Bar and the Bar Institute are hosting a local distiller’s round-up on October 23rd from 3:00p-7:00p. Come hang out and try some of the amazing spirits that are made right here in #PDX! . #highproofpreacher #distilleryrow
I love rye whiskey and I’ve really been jamming on mezcal lately, but I don’t normally combine the two. Add in some fresh ginger and you have quite the interesting party! It’s like when friends from different areas of your life meet, and it feels weird but somehow they all hit it off. . The story behind the name isn’t really interesting enough to share. But it’s from one of those times where I said something and immediately thought “that would make a great cocktail name” 🤔 . Cancel that Courtney . 1½ rye (@redemptionwhiskey) ¾ oz mezcal (Primario Mezcal) ¾ oz fresh lemon juice 3 dashes @thebitterhousewife aromatic bitters 1 tsp agave nectar 3 slices of fresh ginger . Muddle the ginger slices with the agave nectar in the bottom of the shaker. Add the rest of the ingredients and shake with ice. Double-strain into a chilled glass with a big shard of ice. Garnish with candied ginger ✌🏼 . #highproofpreacher
Just making one of my favorite mezcal cocktails 😋 You can find out what it is at the link in my bio 📲 . Loving all the DM’s lately asking for recipes and bottle recommendations! Never feel like you’re bugging me by reaching out. I love connecting with people on here and could probably talk about cocktail stuff a lot longer than you want me to 😉 So never hesitate to hit me up with questions! . 📸: @madisonkayphotography #highproofpreacher
🔹#BudgetHomeBar 🔹 . Usually when we’re talking about a fast and lean home bar set-up, the conversation is generally focused around base spirits. Yeah whiskey, gin, tequila, rum and all those guys get a lot of airtime but you really start having fun when you begin adding a few liqueurs to the bar cart. . Meet Bluebird Alpine Liqueur from @thomasandsonsdistillery. It’s a product of Portland and not widely known in the cocktail world just yet. Made with various herbs and spices, it’s delicious, layered and as little as ½ oz of it in a classic cocktail can make a fine upgrade 💪🏼 . Definitely keep an eye out for this tasty and versatile liqueur! You can also hit up @thomasandsonsdistillery to find out about online buying options 🥃 . PS- This is not an ad. I just honestly love the stuff! Yes, I’m often gifted product from brands but just know that I ONLY rep the stuff that I actually use and honestly enjoy ✌🏼 . #highproofpreacher
It’s always margarita weather ⛅️ . I’m excited to make drinks for some parties and events coming up! Taking photos and virtually sharing cocktails via IG is a blast, but there is nothing better than the “real thing.” There is just something special about connecting with people over quality cocktails 🍸 . #highproofpreacher
Apparently it’s #NationalVodkaDay because everything booze-related has its own day 🤷🏼‍♂️ . If I’m going to do vodka, it’s going to be from @wildrootsspirits. They offer 7 different options: a simple and smooth vodka, then the other 6 are infused with real and local fruit— nothing gross or artificial added👌🏼 . I shot some photos for them and came up with a few recipes at the end of summer. You can check those out at the link in my bio (pictured cocktail is “The Red Right Hand”) 🙌🏼 . #highproofpreacher
