It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere

Our cocktail recipes give us something to look forward to as we get through the work day. Our resident Mixologist is David Rudd, Assistant Store Manager at our Woodbridge location. Here are some of his newest favorite cocktail recipes.

P&P International

The name of this cocktail comes from the combination of Peruvian brandy “pisco” and earthy, British Pimm’s No. 1.  In an iced cocktail shaker, combine 1 oz each Pisco Portón and Pimm’s No. 1, ¼ oz each Luxardo maraschino liqueur, fresh lemon juice, fresh lime juice and simple syrup.  Shake and strain into a Collins glass.  Top with your favorite ginger beer and add 3 dashes of Angostura bitters.  One trip around the world, please!


Full Sneak

Cocktails with a “float” remind me of vacation. But this one has home in mind for me, too. Build 2 oz whiskey (try the Michter’s Sour Mash), ½ oz Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur, ½ oz fresh lemon juice and ginger ale in a high ball. Float ¼ oz ruby port on top and garnish with a mint sprig.

Charo’s Kick

Cool, refreshing and smoky, this is a cocktail to enjoy before winter arrives.  1 ½ oz Milagro Silver Tequila, ½ oz Del Maguey Vida Mezcal, ¾ oz each fresh lemon juice and orgeat (Fee Bros. is best) with 2 barspoons Hiram Walker crème de menthe.  Shake well in an iced cocktail shaker and strain into a coupe.
