⭕️TEPACHE!!!⭕️ • • • Tepache is a fermented beverage made from the peel and the rind of pineapples, and is sweetened either with piloncillo or brown sugar, seasoned with powdered cinnamon, and served cold. Though tepache is fermented for several days, the resulting drink does not contain much alcohol. In Mexican culinary practice, the alcoholic content of tepache may be increased with a small amount of beer🍺 the TEPACHE after fermentation contrails probiotics and is often taken for improved health benefits. Not that I am promoting any of these. This is my first attempt making this. ⭕️ Step 1 peel and core a pineapple put into a jar. ⭕️ Step 2 Add a cup of sugar. I used half demarera and half coconut sugar. Add cinnamon or cassia bark. I added cassia. ⭕️ Step 3 fill with water and close the lid and shake. Make sure the pineapple is under the water to prevent mould forming. ⭕️ Step 3 leave for a few days as you see bubbles of CO2 forming Its ready to taste. 🤓 • • • • • • #coventrycocktails #coventry #cocktails #cocktail #craftcocktails #drinks #drink #mixology #uk #drinksoneme #drinkspecials #instagood #cocktailporn #homebartender #instagood #instadrinks #drinkstagram #cocktailrecipes #happyhour #cocktailart #lifestyle #cocktailcollective #cocktailuk #bestdrinkever #menwithstyle #tapache #mexico

Salt- essential for life most importantly🤓. Secondly in gastronomy and everyday food like fish n chips (fries for my 🇺🇸 friends n followers)is used to enhance some flavours and suppress others. ✋🏽 * * In mixology a couple of drops of salt solution aka saline of around 10-30% can be used. Acidity can be softened and sweetness brought forward. * * Here is a recipe for an approx 20% saline using Himalayan pink Salt. Use sea salt alternatively. * * Swipe left to see the steps ��️ 👉🏽20g of salt👈🏽 👉🏽100ml water👈🏽 👉🏽mix until salt has dissolved👈🏽 👉🏽pour into dropper bottle and use 2-3 drops in your drinks👈🏽 • • • • • • #coventrycocktails #coventry #cocktails #cocktail #craftcocktails #drinks #drink #mixology #uk #drinksoneme #drinkspecials #instagood #cocktailporn #homebartender #instagood #instadrinks #drinkstagram #cocktailrecipes #happyhour #cocktailart #lifestyle #cocktailcollective #cocktailuk #bestdrinkever #menwithstyle #coventrycocktailsacademy

I had fun a couple of weeks ago at @ukrumfest and stopped by the Angostura stand. Up until a couple of years ago my association of this brand was their bitters that adorn bars up and down the country. A few months back I got sent their @amarodiangostura which I highly recommend. So now it was time to sample their rum. I tried a white, a 5 year and this 7yo which stood out from the range. This is an minimum 7yr aged in Bourbon casks. • • This rum is packed with mouth watering flavours that include maple, chocolate, honey and toffee and presents a rich full-bodied taste that tapers off in to the classic rum finish. Great as a sipper but even better in cocktails obviously 😎 • • • • • • #coventrycocktails #coventry #cocktails #cocktail #craftcocktails #drinks #drink #mixology #uk #drinksoneme #drinkspecials #instagood #cocktailporn #homebartender #instagood #instadrinks #drinkstagram #cocktailrecipes #happyhour #cocktailart #lifestyle #cocktailcollective #menwithstyle #rum #trinidad #angostura #rum

The leather is a byproduct of the meat industry, fully vegetable tanned and their packaging is made from recycled pulp. * * Head on over to www.wingback.co.uk and check out this cash wallet I had made, fully customisable as you will see. * This will definitely be by my side from now on. • • • • • • #coventrycocktails #coventry #cocktails #cocktail #craftcocktails #drinks #drink #mixology #uk #drinksoneme #drinkspecials #instagood #cocktailporn #homebartender #instagood #instadrinks #drinkstagram #cocktailrecipes #happyhour #cocktailart #lifestyle #london #lifestyle #bestdrinkever #menwithstyle

Suntory via thrsxty also sent me a sample of their Hibiki whisky. 😎 • Hibiki in Japanese means Harmony, a perfect blend of Suntorys Yamazaki, Hakushu malts and Chita single grain whiskies. An approachable and light whisky. Review from @whiskyexchange • Nose: Beguiling aromas of apricots, orange blossom and marmalade, bolstered by subtle spiciness, too – cinnamon and clove. Elegant and seductive. Palate: The generous fruit continues on to the palate, with oranges and apricots in abundance. There’s a little peppery spice, but the soft, succulent fruit takes hold. Nice balance, and nicely crafted. Finish: The spiciness takes over from the fruit and lingers, along with a little barrel char. • • • • • • #coventrycocktails #coventry #cocktails #cocktail #craftcocktails #drinks #drink #mixology #uk #drinksoneme #drinkspecials #instagood #cocktailporn #homebartender #instagood #instadrinks #drinkstagram #cocktailrecipes #happyhour #cocktailart #lifestyle #cocktailcollective #cocktailuk #suntorywhisky #whisky #japanesewhisky
