Took the Monterey cocktail recipe, swapped in maple syrup for the simple syrup, et voila! The Autumn in Monterey cocktail. For something both refreshing and cozy, I recommend it. Cheers! Oooo this one has legit intrigue. Proper notes to come, but out of the gate I’ll say there’s a waltz going on here between dark fruit, coffee, and chocolate notes that is worthy of a dramatic mystery. Cheers! Life is short. Open the good stuff. New notes on OLD RIP VAN WINKLE 10 YEAR. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on this unfortunately overhyped bourbon, and reflections on the things that last. Cheers!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
