Pretty in Pink
This cocktail is one near and dear to my background as every single ingredient down to the flowers (except the lime) is from a local Colorado company!
Some Like It Hot
A savory twist on one of my absolute favorite cocktails... the margarita! The margarita to me is amazing given that you can make it as simple as you want or go crazy with it. The possibilities are endless.
Colorado Spring Break
A play off the Ramos Gin Fizz was an easy choice given its rich creamy winter time texture, but bright citrus, floral, and refreshing notes. Underneath a thick layer of wet April snow (foam) you find bright and aromatic citrus notes of spring. Garnished with flowers and mint representing the rebirth of Spring, their beauty is then dusted over by snow flakes (powdered sugar).
Make it Hibiki Time
This drink was inspired by one of my favorite movie lines and scenes, being a lover of Japanese whisky. The line is from the movie “Lost in Translation” and is delivered by Bill Murray’s melancholy character in which he proclaims, “For relaxing times, make it Suntory time,” while holding a Hibiki on the rocks. The easy answer was to feature the namesake whisky in the cocktail while making an ode to his character’s experience struggling through the cultural and linguistic barriers of Japan. Often times finding himself... lost in translation, so I took the old-fashioned, but twisted around the ingredients...
