Mini menus

Pop-up and holiday menus created for restaurants and private events.

Crush Comedy pop-up show 1

A drink made specially to highlight each of the organizing members of Crush Comedy.

Kinda Fruity
See the falernum remix I used as a base for this crushable, tropical, cold weather crusher.
Bi Panic
A garibaldi take on the form of the perfect winter patio pounder (if you could be on a pation in winter...).
Margarit-HAHA
A flavor combo you wouldn’t expect kicks ass in this chocolate milk clarified margarita riff.

Crush Comedy pop-up show 2

For the Valentine’s show, I wanted to incorporate flavors and names that make people think of the holiday.

U R Bittersweet
An upgrade on my chocolate strawberry mezcal negroni, using a strawberry + mole negro syrup.
Be Mine
Customizable punch that’s good enough to go with any spirit.
Jell-O Shots
Who asked for pickleback Jell-O shots? No one, but I did it anyway.

Pride Pop-Up

Pride inspired drinks for a park popup in the summer of 2024.

Sapphic pickle
A bright fresh pickle turned into a clear, crushable cocktail.
I identify as a cocktail
Mango, ginger, and dried peppers. Simple and packs a punch.
Fast walking fuel
Espresso martini meets negroni meets east Asian fruits and spices.
The water’s making us gay
Melon, smoke, tanins, and make for the perfect summer milk punch.

Birthday event

A custom menu for a birthday party event. Each drink was made in cooperation with the client.

Unicorn snot
Glittery white negronis makes for great summer sippers.
Pesto pasta
Think last word meets a bowl of pesto pasta.
This cocktail fell out of a coconut tree
A name of the time and a drink that’s timeless.
Jell-O Shotsito?
M&M in a Jell-O shot with a little berry twist.
Somethin’ sweet
Carrot cake. Milk punch. Need I say more?

Birthday Drinks

Made a mini menu for my birthday with some exciting flavor pairings and new techniques.

Birfday Hooch
I love rum and whiskey, and wanted to develop something around my Donn’s Super Jucie (Donn’s Mix x Grapefruit super juice).
Last Slice
I’d made a stovetop distillation of chocolate cake and an amaro di amarena. What goes better with chocolate and cherry than a mezcal last word?
Beer Hug
Home fermented ginger beer, with added passionfruit and poblano purees.
Jell-O Shots
You thought Ferraris and picklebacks were good in liquid form, but that’s just because you’ve never had them in Jell-O form.

Cinco de Mayo

A trio of drink specials for the busiest day of the year at Nixta in St. Louis, MO.

Draggin’ Fruit
A margarita made to refresh on a warm May day.
Puebloma
A savory take on a paloma that takes on a vegetal and herb forward flavor profile.
M ‘n’ Zen
The M&M gets the margarita treatment, balanced out by tannic grea tea concentrate– acidulated to lime strength.

Valentine’s Specials

Three drinks. One sour, one stirred, and one N/A. Something to make sure everyone can celebrate.

Besa de Fresa
A chocolate strawberry mezcal negroni, using my house made creme de cacao.
Margarita Agridulce
A margarita that includes a bitter twist on fassionola syrup. The syrup balances the tropical sweetness with Earl Grey tea.
N/Ada Personal
The shirley temple gets a traditional Mexican lift with house-made mole grenadine (a mixture of house grenadine and the kitchen’s mole negro).
