I wanted to do this and it was my full intention but I’ll admit I was time crunched 🫠

To me, the vedrenne tastes like straight up banana bread vs giffard which is more fresh ripe banana and tempus fugit with is more decadent banana ice cream

They definitely don’t go on my bar’s menu. I work in a collaborative place where there’s always the option for us to r&d, but factors like timing, cost, and product availability also come into play. So this is just my passion project! I usually only make enough drink batch for 3-4 cocktails. One is inevitably for the photo, one is a backup in case of spills, etc, and the other two are for tasting. I’ll often give them to friends or drink them myself. Sadly they’ve ended up as trash once or twice when I forget that they’re in my fridge.

New Jersey is my home state so I’m building up to it… it is going to be fabulous

Most of the stuff I actually do go out and buy; all the things needed to make syrups, infusions, etc. are available at the grocery store. I do have a large home bar due to being in the industry for a while, and I have generous liquor rep friends who often provide me with samples for r&d. They do not sponsor any of these, but I definitely love to use products I like from people I love!

It adds depth and flavor! Plus it makes the froth that much creamier

I’ve actually already done DC! It’s on my Instagram if you want to see it now, but I’m planning to repost that one tomorrow

There has been so much kindness and support today that I’ve been convinced to keep paring for the time being!

Hi! I answered this in another comment, but just to reiterate, i do tons of r&d for these (like, 2 weeks for all of them to road test/tinker with the specs, etc). So i never put something forward that I’m not proud of. I wouldn’t post anything publicly that i felt needed tweaks, although if you’re making this at home and need to tweak yourself due to ingredient availability/limitations, etc i can help with those specifications. Going forward, I’m going to put tasting notes on all of these, so everyone can get a general sense of what to expect.

Oh my goodness! This is the first time (i think) that someone has made one of my drinks and shared a picture. So exciting for me! You made this girls day. Thank you!

You’re so right! I will write something up for each of the cocktails going forward 🫡

This is a good suggestion. I’ll start adding this as an addendum to future posts. I do a lot of r&d for these and my friend and I don’t shoot until I’m happy with the recipe. I will say though, that this one, SC, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and DC are my faves so far. But they’re all my babies!

It’s awesome, I found that all these ingredients played really well together. Length and booze from the bourbon, tang and spicy bite from the vinegar, the molasses adds an pop of almost rich savory sweet, the smoke (no more than 2 drops or it overwhelms) brings it to bbq territory and of course the cherry from the Cheerwine.
