Naked & Famous

Originally created in collaboration with Casa Don Ramón. Views and opinions are my own.

Naked & Famous cocktail

I’m already a fan of Casa Don Ramón tequila, so I was thrilled to also get to taste their Mezcal– made from 100% Salmiana Agave from Zacatecas, Mexico. This variety of agave is matured for 8-10 years before harvesting– and for each individual agave harvested, Casa Don Rámon plants two more in its place. 💚

While you still get that earthy-smokiness that everyone loves about mezcal, this bottle is a bit more balanced with herbal and floral notes, along with a subtle citrus layer and a touch of fruit on the finish. I’ll mainly be enjoying this one neat, but I couldn’t resist trying it in my favorite mezcal cocktail: a Naked & Famous.

Cocktails are about big flavors and bold ingredients, and nothing embodies that ethos better than smoke. When done well, a hint of smokiness can take a drink from mid-tier to top-shelf. Since smoke is a gas rather than a liquid, imparting the flavor into your drink…

We made 5 different cocktails from my cocktail book “Twist - Your Guide to Creating Inspired Craft Cocktails.” If you haven’t picked up the book yet, I hope you do! Feel free to purchase from your local bookstore, online, or wherever you prefer– I am compensated the same regardless of where you purchase it, just FYI.

The cocktail recipes are listed in the book itself, but I wanted to share some links to some of the recommended products that I shared during the live class. Spirits can be difficult to order or buy online, due to every region having different liquor laws, so I’ll simply mention those by name and link to products like barware, syrups, bitters, etc.

Learning how to balance the five elements of flavor — umami/salt, bitter, sweet, sour and spice — is one of the fundamental tenets of both cooking and mixology. For many cocktail lovers on Instagram, seeing a reel of a drinks influencer cheekily sprinkling microplaned parmesan cheese atop an Espresso Martini may seem like pure chaos, but it is, in fact, the opposite: It’s a quintessential example of umami from the cheese balancing the bitterness of coffee.

When adding fresh herbs to cocktails, like basil or mint, many reach for the muddler and proceed to crush the herbs into pieces in the base of the cocktail shaker. There’s really no reason to do this and you probably shouldn’t because overly crushing the herbs may introduce unwanted bitterness in the cocktail.

The Old Fashioned meets… well… Pineapple! The star ingredient in this cocktail is Pineapple Demerara syrup- and it’s definitely worth making! The syrup itself can be a bit inconsistent, so you may need to adjust the amount you add to the cocktail to properly balance it.

Here’s a colorful twist on a Sidecar using Cointreau that I cold-infused with Hibiscus tea for 24 hours. The color turned out AMAZING and the added flavors of black current and lemon verbena from the tea paired exceptionally well with the cognac.

Pineapple Demerara Syrup

This syrup does not require any heat– as most involve heating various ingredients on the stove to properly integrate those ingredients and dissolve the sugar. However this no-cook syrup relies on the acid already present in the pineapple to break down the sugar over several hours,
