A great cocktail must balance its sweet and sour f

A great cocktail must balance its sweet and sour flavors. A shrub, also referred to as drinking vinegar, comes in handy here since it combines both tart and sweet elements. Water, fruit, sugar and vinegar are typically combined to make an acidic syrup aka cocktail shrub that lends some nice depth and complexity to any drink. Sure, you can make your own — or you can just buy it, too! Our favorite local shrub maker is @coolhandco — they make the most delicious varieties and will add that wow factor to any cocktail! Try this easy-peasy recipe this weekend:

✨RED RIVER✨

•2 oz bourbon or rye whiskey
•1/2 oz @coolhandco Blackberry Cacao Nib Orange Peel Shrub
•3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
•1 tsp maple syrup
•1 dash bitters (optional)

Shake with ice for 5-7 seconds. Strain into a glass with fresh cubes.

To those of you observing #dryjanuary, this is just apple juice. 😉 To everyone else, cheers to almost making it to the weekend. 🥃

We’ve waited 4 years for this: BATCH 1, BARREL

We’ve waited 4 years for this: BATCH 1, BARREL 2 BLINKING OWL BOURBON - Bottled-in-Bond, now available for purchase! Limited availability — link in bio!

This very special rare single barrel bourbon is from our First Batch EVER and it is the 2nd barrel of bourbon we’ve ever filled.

This release is part of the First Batch referred to as Founder Brian’s “Birthday Bourbon” as it was filled on his birthday September 29, 2016. 🎂 🥃

Making this gem even more notable, we are releasing this 4-year single barrel at 100 PROOF as our very first Bottled-in Bond expression. And yes, these numbered bottles come in the gorgeous faceted collectors box.

This is an exceptional limited edition and we believe it is the first legally distilled, aged and bottled-in-bond Bourbon crafted in Orange County California … EVER!

RELEASE PLANNED FOR FEBRUARY 2021.
Due to the special packaging this will require special shipping arrangements, please contact us if you need this shipped within California. *Please note we cannot ship this outside the state of California.

Two years ago we achieved the neurotic goal of becoming a 100% California-based product by working with the local grain community and sourcing our certified organic grains (wheat, malted barley, corn and rye) from California farms to make our award-winning spirits. We’re proud to support our local farmers. 🌾 💛

Here’s a big little drink to herald the weekend, our version of a Vesper Martini. While some recipes call for 4 oz of spirits, we’re packing a little less heat with this 007 ditty. 📸: @spiritandspoon

VESPER MARTINI
1.5 oz @blinkingowl Gin
1 oz @blnkingowl Vodka
½ oz Lillet Blanc
Lemon Twist
—
Add the gin, vodka and Lillet blanc into a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Express the oils from a lemon twist over the drink, rub the peel along the glass rim and either drop into the glass or dangle it just so! Sip, sip, hooray.

So relieved that the federal government has decided to retract the $14,000 tax on craft distilleries that are making hand sanitizer so we that we can continue to supply local businesses and essential workers! Dirty Bird hand sanitizer going out to commercial offices in L.A. today and our @uspostalservice. Stay safe and keep those talons clean, everyone!

For those days where you want a quick cocktail wit

For those days where you want a quick cocktail with minimal effort, may we suggest a good ol’ Tom Collins? It’s basically the ultimate highball disguised as a grown-up sparkling lemonade: citrusy, fizzy + refreshing, with herbal notes from the gin! Recipe below.
📸: @spiritandspoon

✨Tom Collins✨
2 oz @blinkingowl Gin
¾ oz lemon
½ oz Simple Syrup
Splash of seltzer water or club soda

Combine the gin, lemon juice and syrup in an ice-filled glass and stir. Top off with
seltzer water and garnish with lemon twist or wedge.
