Happy National Espresso Martini Day from (bar) mom and dad. Fun fact: The three beans that traditionally garnish an Espresso Martini symbolize “Live, Laugh, and Love” 📸 @shawnxcampbell

About a week overdue, but it took me some time to process this night. My goal was to throw a small party, raffle off a couple prizes, sling some daiquiris, and hopefully raise about $2000 for charity. Instead we threw an absolute rager, raffled off everything from gift certificates and local art to custom skis and snowboards, had a huge cocktail competition with competitors from 4 different states, and raised over $6000 for @haymakers4hope . Denver, I can’t thank y’all enough for showing up for this. Thank you to every liquor rep that donated product and prizes, thank you to every Daq-off competitor for an incredible show, thank you to every local business that donated to the raffle, thank you to @jonpizano for flying in to DJ, @maddybcreates for photographing the event, @leensdechamp for running the raffle table, @jilly.idol and @flynnr97 for slinging drinks with me, @agricoleman for helping us behind the bar, @edward_powderhorn for working the door, @mallasmaxwell for working the grill, @scallion_shinobi for prepping the dogs, @summer.the.babe @kristahhhh and @eatdrinkbemaryandmclain for judging the comp, @princecocktail for being a guest MC, and most of all thank you to @yachtclubbar for trusting me with the keys for a night. Thank you to every single person that came out and spent money for a good cause, and congrats to @beverlynapkins for taking home the trophy. Let’s do it again soon y’all. Don’t forget to donate to Haymakers via the link in my bio, and watch me fight on June 14th!

𝑷𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒓𝒐 Always wanted something a little more earthy and “spiced, but not spicy” out of a mezcal margarita. This was born out of that craving, and I’m pretty happy with where it landed. The sotol adds some vegetal complexity to the mezcal, and the passionfruit helps brighten up the molé spices and keep this one anchored in margarita territory. “Pistolero” Rey Campero Espadin Mezcal, Flor del Desierto Sotol Sierra, Ancho Reyes, Lime, Passionfruit, Cacao, Cinnamon.

𝑴𝒂𝒑 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 Hard to call this one an original really, but it’s one of my favorites, and was a good exercise in “doing less”. We had a chance to do a single barrel with @tcrl_rum and @matthewsbelanger picked this beautiful barrel of Jamaican rum distilled in 2015. I wanted to keep this drink simple, showcasing the rum and also paying tribute to a couple of my favorite D&C drinks from the past. It’s basically a mashup of the Kingston Negroni by @simojoaquin and Lightning Rod by @shannontebay , with some minor tweaks. This is the last drink I ever put on a @deathandcompany menu, so I named it after the last song Every Time I Die ever played. And the title fit with making a big move. “Map Change” Transcontinental x Death & Co 2015 Jamaican Rum, Campari, Cocchi Vermouth di Torino, Creme de Cacao, House Orange Bitters 📸 @shawnxcampbell
