BB Fizz
Showing my love for Woodford Reserve after a lovely virtual tasting of whisky and chocolate. I’ve been a fan of the Double Oaked expression of Woodford for a few years. Strong flavours of orchard fruit, and incredible sweetness from double barrel ageing.
Citrus and spice, a classic flavour combo that called to mind a classic: breakfast martini. Here’s a spicy riff.
Been dreaming about Pineapple Daiquiris since November. One of my favourite flavour combos is pineapple and star anise, and that’s the concept behind this one. Cheers!
One of my more standard creations, but bitter element played well in a sour. Nothing like a good fizz.
