Kiki’s Delivery
-Wakame Aquavit
-Kabocha
-Nutmeg
-Vanilla
-Caramel
-Egg
-Smoked kalamata salt
Hayao Miyazaki has created many aesthetically beautiful animated films. His imagination is a thrill to grip. I had time this year to revisit some of Miyazaki’s classics. Kiki from “Kiki’s Delivery Service” is a witch that was ready for the world, realized the world had unforeseen obstacles and she was discouraged and lost her witch powers. She regained her abilities thanks to the bonds she created with some people. I was intrigued by a dish she helped make, a “fish herring pie”. A fish pie with squash and olives?
To start off with the base of a fish herring pie, I infused aquavit with wakame. To remind us of pastry that supports it all together I created a caramel, nutmeg, vanilla syrup paired with kabocha. The last ingredient in my mixer is an egg, most pies require eggs and so will this drink. The drink is garnished with smoked Kalamata salt. This drink has the front notes of sweet seaweed that’s later followed by warm spices and a beautiful velvety texture, before sipping take a whiff of sweet smoked olives. Cheers y’all!

Blue wonders
I was looking at the “Awa, Naruto No Fuha” painting and I really wanted to create a cocktail that captures the ocean. My first encounter with oceanic flavors was through oysters, the notes of minerals and salinity is a gift from the seas. My drink revolves around two separate entities (base and foam) dancing together .
I pretty much broke down how the oyster is served which is with a side of cocktail sauce, citrus, and peppers. I juiced yellow peppers and tomatos, my amazing friend @emmanuel_rosario had the idea of blending acids and dem to make a shrub. To bring out more salty flavors I infused cerignola with aquavit. Since I was inspired by Japanese art I used Japanese gin, I wanted a citrus forward gin, Roku gin fit the bill. I combine the two spirits and add blue spirulina. I created a foam that consist of 3 different citrus oils and oyster shell Wray & Nephew cordial.
This drink is citrus forward, refreshing. Quite proud of it. Cheers to the ocean and it’s “Blue wonders”.
Base: Olives, juniper, tomatoes, fresh bell peppers, caraway, citrus.
Foam: oyster shells, J Wray, sugar, citrus blend.

“Raven’s egg nog”
We’re kicking off our 6 weeks of egg nog @peche_austin with a bright, fruitful, and luscious egg nog inspired by “The Raven “ written by my sad homie Edgar Allen Poe. Poe was known for drinking egg nog and his spirit of choice was brandy. I used pomegranate because it’s associated with misfortune, just like ravens. Hibiscus to boost fruit flavors and you can’t have egg nog without cinnamon. Photo 4 of 9 of flamingos rose period.
- Brandy - PAMA pomegranate liqueur
- Hibiscus-Cinnamon syrup
- Heavy cream
- Whole egg
Method: Shaken, fine strain
Glassware: Coupe
Garnish: Grated cinnamon

“Robin Van Gogh” - Van Gogh has compared himself to a bird trapped in a cage. Well, this cocktail inspired by him flocked really well! Vincent was a Dutch man so I used Genever(it’s Dutch).Van Gogh painted a couple of stills of pears so I used spiced pear liqueur. Van Gogh is alway connected to absinthe so I used a hibiscus/ vanilla/ almond infused absinthe. All artist are passionate so I used passionfruit syrup. Cocktail is complex, herbaceous, tart but still round. Last week to get it at Peche. Photo 3 of 9 Flamingo’s rose period. - @bols_genever - @stgeorgespirits spiced pear
- Absinthe Rouge
- Passionfruit
- lemon
- Peychaud bitters
Glassware: Nick & Nora
Method: shaken
Garnish: lime oils and peel.

“Pink + White”- I’m sure many of you have that one feel good song that makes you forget that you’re either doing a chore, working, or down in the dumps. As corny as it sounds this song by Frank Ocean makes me feel like falling into white clouds while the sky is pink from a sunset. So I created a fluffy, light, complex, and easy going cocktail.

“Side step” - lately I’ve been relatable to the bull, a prideful animal that meets one end, loss. Picasso was obsessed with matadors. Some people say grab life by the horns, Matadors simply step to the side and reassess what their next move will be. A smart way of dealing with life.
This drink is juicy, peppery and finishes with warm floral and nutty notes. Photo 8 of 9 Flamingos blue period. - @alkkemistgin - @anchoreyes - Passionfruit

"Flamant de Noël" is french for Flamingo's Christmas.
Gran Marnier, Appleton 12yr, Rosé reduction, cinnamon, cranberry, cream, whole egg.
Garnish: Nutmeg
When the lovely @carleycampari invites you to get imaginative in a @grandmarnierusa challenge surrounding the essence of the Holidays, you best believe i was all in. Any cocktail linked to an old memory always makes the drink so much better. This drink takes me bake to eating icebox cookies with my momma. A taste of the simple times. Flamant de Noël is available @peche_austin until the holidays, Cheerstoall!

The Unspoken Word. I went original gangster on this one, imagining myself in the 1600s and creating something similiar to the last word. Refreshing, bright, and slightly Malty. A special available @peche_austin for Chartreuse day. Oil painting isn't easy, that shameful thing in the background will remind me why patience is important. Photo 5 of 9 of Flamingo's blue period.

- Bols Genever
- Lime
Garnish: Cherry
