Guy Stowell at Cocktail Tasting at O5 Tea

To prep for tonight’s MadeWithLove cocktail competition, Bartender and Moon Shine Tastings owner Guy Stowell entertained some of our readers at O5 Tea on West 4th.

His cocktails were superb and focused on Tequila, Rum and Campari! Here’s a couple of the recipes.

Smashed Jimador

1.5 oz 1800 Tequila
1oz lime
3/4 oz ginger syrup
Sprig rosemary
3 dash fee brother old fashioned bitters
Method – Muddle rosmary shake and fine strain into martini glass. Garnish with a sprig if rosemary.

Waterbird

5 dried cranberries
2 blackberries
1.5 oz Appletons rum
1/2 oz amaretto
1 oz lime
20 ml sugar syrup
Top with 05 Kombucha

Shake and strain all ingredients except kombucha in a tall glass over ice, top with kombucha and garnish with cranberries and blackberries.

Quiche and black sesame dumplings and chocolate kept us from sliding off the chairs.

Hope to see you all at MadeWithLove tonight!
