Recently I got my hands on some @CarandiniUS Emilio Balsamic Vinegar of Modena at Whole Foods and it struck me that a good, authentic Italian balsamic vinegar would taste amazing in a cocktail. I took to task on how to incorporate some into my favorite cocktail, the "Manhattan." Let me introduce you to the "Modena in Manhattan." A taste of the old country on Spring Street in NYC. A little Carandini goes a long way and I invite you to try to make one at home. Step outside the box and add four centuries of history and tradition with some #Carandini in your favorite cocktail or dish

Pardon The Punctuation...Austin is quickly becoming a craft distillery hot bed in the states. Genius Liquids is has come up with a stellar example of a craft gin that's perfect on it's own or in a specialty cocktail.

Pardon The Punctuation...In case you don't know I'm the son of Cuban refugees...sooooo rum drinking is kind of in my blood. I love discovering a new rum with a completely different flavor profile from what I'm used to drinking.
