GET A FLIP 🍷 (RECIPE CARD) The Get A Flip is a rich, decedent mixture made up of port wine and cognac. What makes this particular recipe so unique is that it includes a whole egg, not just the egg whites. While this may seem a bit unusual, it adds a frothy, smooth texture to the mixture making it an easy sipper.
Don't knock it until you try it!
Cheers! 🥂⠀

Brûlée Banana Coconut Syrup 🥥 (RECIPE BELOW) There’s nothing I love more than homemade ingredients. When it comes to flavored simple syrups, I’m always whipping up my own from the comfort of my kitchen.
Simple syrups are such an essential ingredient in many cocktail recipes, and they’re so easy to make! Today, I’m making a Brûlée Banana Coconut Simple Syrup. A sweet, tropical touch to not just cocktails but desserts as well. The best part about simple syrups is that they’re so versatile and can be incorporated into so many different recipes or treats.
So, let’s get cooking!
𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦
🍌 1.5 Cup Demerara Sugar
🍌 1.5 Cup Coconut Water
🍌 0.25 Cup Coconut Flakes
🍌 Large Banana - Sliced
𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗗
1️⃣ Slice bananas into thick coins. Pour sugar onto a plate. Roll bananas in sugar until coated.
2️⃣ Heat a nonstick pan to medium-high heat. Add bananas and sugar. Cook bananas until light to a golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
3️⃣ In a medium saucepan, combine coconut water, coconut flakes, sugar, and bananas. Gently stir to dissolve sugar and bring to a boil.
4️⃣ Reduce to a low simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a mason jar. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.

DEATH IN THE AFTERNOON 🍀 Google Search Queen Bee Mixology Death In The Afternoon For Full Recipe & Method.
Happy St. Patricks Day! Not only is it Friday, but it just so happens to be one of my favorite holidays of the year. While you’re all wondering what to drink this evening, I present to you: Death In the Afternoon.
This cocktail goes back decades and is made up of 2 simple ingredients, absinthe and champagne. This is definitely a spirit-forward cocktail but has a surprisingly smooth finish. The absinthe is what gives this libation its signature color and the champagne balances out the known intensity of absinthes flavor notes.
Top it off with some sparkly gold flakes for garnish, and you’ve got yourself a head turner!

STOLI DOLI 🍸 Sipping on something sweet and tropical tonight. 🍍 Pineapple infused @stoli vodka on tap, making for the perfect easy evening cocktail at home 🍹
Cheers to a relaxing night in! 🥂
👑 🐝 Original Content @Queenbeemixology
METHOD (Small Batch)
Slice one pineapple into chunks and place it into a large glass dispenser. Pour one liter of @Stoli Vodka directly over the fresh pineapple until the pineapple is covered with vodka.
Allow it to sit for 12-14 days to infuse the vodka with the pineapple. To serve, pour the pineapple-infused vodka into a martini shaker, I am using one from @barflybymercer filled with ice. Shake well and strain into a martini glass.

National Espresso Martini Day is coming up next week, so I’d say it’s a perfect time to mix one up! As always, I headed over to @totalwine to pick up everything I need. #ad
Lately, my go-to brunch cocktail has been an espresso martini, a delicious mixture that I just can’t get enough of these day. For this particular recipe I went with the Veil Espresso Vodka, the best of both worlds within a bottle! You instantly taste the bold, rich flavor of espresso coffee, which is quickly followed by the smoothness of vodka. I also added Cafe Granita Coffee Liqueur to the mix to further enhance the overall espresso flavorings within the recipe.
As you continue to sip, the flavors blend together to create a balanced and delicious taste that is both strong and refreshing.
I love how convenient and affordable these ingredients are, especially since I can pick everything up at my local Total Wine and More. So, head on over to your local @totalwine and mix up this heavenly Espresso Martini.
ESPRESSO MARTINI 🍸️
𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦
☕️ 2 oz. Veil Espresso Vodka
☕️ 0.5 oz. Stirrings Simple Syrup
☕️ 0.5 oz. Cafe Granita Liqueur
☕️ 1 oz. Freshly Brewed Espresso
☕️ 3 Coffee Beans - Garnish
𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗗
1️⃣ Add all ingredients into a cocktail shaker and top with ice. Shake until chilled.
2️⃣ Pour the mixture into a chilled martini glass and garnish.
Cheers! 🥂⠀

EARL GREY MARTINI 🍋 (RECIPE CARD)The Earl Grey Martini is a hybrid between a traditional vodka martini and a sour cocktail with (of course) a few unique flavor notes added to the mix.

Who doesn’t love a classic old fashioned with a bit of extra flavor? The Tropical Old Fashioned is a delicious blend of tropical flavors that will transport you straight to a beachside paradise.
One of the great things about an old fashioned is that it’s a drink that can be tailored to your own personal taste. In this case, I added in my own homemade coconut banana simple syrup to the mix in order to enhance the tropical notes of the pineapple rum.
A smooth mixture with a fruity finish!
