Deep Green – Drilling Pistachio Eau de Vie
I made a drink with homemade pistachio orgeat a while back. When chatting with Torben about it, he suggested a Mai Tai variation with white overproof white rum and pistachio eau de vie.

Obscure Ingredients – Borsci Elisir
The initial idea for this drink came from Amor Y Amargo bartender Bruce Shultz. On our honeymoon in 2022 I asked him what he uses the Borsci Elisir for. He replied that he uses it in Rum Manhattans, so this is what I did, too.
Agave Month 2024 – Caldera
Even though I photographed a few cocktails before our move, I barely have time for anything else since. Yet, I still want to present to you this great agave-forward Old-Fashioned variation. It uses a combination of two tequilas which really adds a nice layer of complexity.

AB Rum Barrel ’22 – Chairman’s Legacy
Sometimes you have to revisit old drinks you created! In this case, I went back to my signature Augustine-Bar Rum Barrel recipe and gave it an update. Additionally, I can use the chance to present a rum from Saint Lucia to you!
1919 – Dos Maderas 5+5 Rum
There are rums out there for purists and then there are ones out there which get an excessive barrel finish. In this case, Dos Maderas through an intricate blending and ageing process add a lot of sherry notes to their rum.
