Cierto is certified additive-free and is presented in the premium tequila category as it is housed in an impressive bottle and boasts over 800+ awards and medals in various tasting competitions to back it all up.

Just a little off the top… With warmer weather on the horizon here in Charleston, I thought it would be the perfect time to take the top off the Landy. The canvas top was perfect for the fall/winter but this might be the look for #gibsonthelandy till the end of summer. What do yall think? On or off? — #VintageLandRovers #LandRoverClassic #CharlestonSC #CharlestonLife #ExploreCharleston #VintageCars #ClassicCarCulture #LowcountryLiving #CharlestonHistory #LandRoverAdventures #landroverseries #landroverseries3

This ain’t your older sister’s early 2000’s Midori Sour… Apparently the Midori Sour is making the rounds again. Here’s my slightly elevated take on this 90-00’s cocktail. If you haven’t had Midori before, well this one is for you, Midori is a liqueur made from Japanese melons that is subtle, sweet and packed with fruity melon flavor. It also brings forth a crazy green color to most cocktails (including this one). In the past few decades, the ‘Midori Sour’ used to be made with… you guessed it… sour mix. This take combines the specs for a classic sour (with egg white foam) and adds elements of fresh lime juice and lemon zest to accentuate the citrus in this recipe. Now where’s my sister @margarita_caffee ? You gotta try this version :P Cheers y’all. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• MIDORI SOUR v2.0 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ▫️1½ oz St. George Pear Brandy ▫️1 oz Midori ▫️¼ oz Simple Syrup ▫️¾ oz Lime Juice ▫️1 Dash Saline ▫️Lemon Twist ▫️1 Egg White •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Instructions: Combine ingredients, reverse dry shake. Strain and pour into a chilled coupe. Garnish with dehydrated lime wheel — #drinkstagram #drinkrecipes #drinkreels #holycityhandcraft #midorisour #midori #midoricocktail #eggwhitefoam #charestonsc #usa

IT’S FINALLY HERE, let’s unbox with some #ASMR Truth be told, I’m a @sonyalpha user through and through but the @fujifilmx_us X100 series always piqued my interest. I mean, whose interest didn’t it pique? It was all over social media as the hot camera to get due to its film simulations and the transition back to the nostalgia of point-and-shoots. For me, it was a way to take a photo when I was out and about or traveling with my family. The thought was, the film simulations would go straight to my phone with no further edits, saving me time on post and editing. Alas, the X100V has been out of stock for what seems like over 2 years, supply simply could not keep up with demand. Enter the X100VI, announced and released in February and finally in my hand. It boasts a 40MP cropped sensor, IBIS, built in ND filter and is more than capable for video. I’ve been putting it through its paces over the last 2 weeks and trying to navigate myself around its interface and forcing myself to shoot on aperture priority mode. The thought was I could hand the camera off to anyone (even my kids) and have them take a photo on the fly. This is my unboxing video and I had to add my own touches and accessories to make it mine. Did you pre-order the new #X100VI or are you sticking to your current setup? If you’re a current Fuji shooter: 1. I want to hear your best settings/tips/tricks. 2. Any accessories you use that make your workflow better/faster? 3. Your go-to film recipe! Cheers y’all. 📷: shot on @sonyalpha ZV-E1 😬 — #fujix100vi #unboxing #cameraunboxing #fujix100v #fujifilm #cameragear #unboxingasmr #asmrunboxing #charlestonsc #cameranerd

Anyone else sick of being pigeonholed into a niche? 👇🏾 Whether we like it or not, this platform is training you. It’s training you to post within a set of creative limits within a certain niche with the promise of rewarding you with views/engagement and teasing some virality by playing by their rules. These are rules like using ‘trending songs’ instead of songs that will actually fit your mood/style or staying in your lane when it comes to the type of content you create. I’m here to tell you that it’s okay to break the rules every once in a while, it’s YOUR account after all. I feel like it’s sad that we have to apologize for not posting the content that they expect us to. We are all so much more than what this platform perceives our likes, interests and personalities to be. So during the weekend, I’m going to try my best to post something thats not related to my ‘niche’ and hope you try to do the same. Now please treat yourself to some of my mediocre #latteart :) enjoy your day. Cheers y’all ✌🏾 __ #latte #coffeereels #holycityhandcraft #coffeelover #coffeeaddict

Apparently it’s #NationalEspressoMartini day 🙄 So I’m making an espresso manhattan instead… what if we combined that with one of this cocktail with a rye Manhattan, well this is that cocktail and with the addition of salted caramel syrup (I used @enjoydaysie ) this one is absolutely delicious. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ESPRESSO MANHATTAN •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• * 2 oz Rye Whiskey * ½ oz Sweet Vermouth * 1 oz Espresso * ¼ oz Salted Caramel Syrup * Orange Twist * Coffee Beans (Garnish) •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Instructions: Combine the all of the ingredients except garnishes in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake, double strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with coffee beans to float on top of the natural coffee foam. - #cocktails #drinkstagram #espressococktails #drinkrecipes #drinkreels #makeadrink #coffeecocktails #holycityhandcraft #recipereels #espressomartini #nationalespressomartiniday #shotonsonyzv1

When client wants golden hour vibes all day… There are times during filming when the weather just does not cooperate, and when that happens, I turn to video lights (with orange gels) to recreate that warm, dreamy glow that transforms any scene into an instant sunset. Since “golden hour” is all about capturing the essence that time between light and dark, it’s often hard to replicate since it only happens for… well… an hour. So whether it’s dawn or dusk, indoors or out, these lights aren’t just tools; they’re storytellers, painting the photos and videos with hues of amber and gold. Y’all have been following me long enough to know that I embrace all the warmth in my content, more often than not I’m using lights set at 2800K to achieve this. Big thanks to the crew and talent on this shoot to make it all happen!

CHARLESTON WINE + FOOD | DAY 4 | Recap below 👇 What. A. Day. The day started at Sabor! A Taste of Spain at Festival Hall where the event hosted regional talent to showcase their best tapas paired with some amazing Spanish wines, sherries and vermouths. After that, we got a little reprieve from the craziness at the @moxycharleston rooftop with some fellow media folks. The menu featured 5 cocktails and three SC Chef Ambassadors. Shortly after this event we headed to Smoke Show in the heart of downtown Charleston (after the flooding had subsided) and ate some of the most incredible food that day, paired with some amazing cocktails from our friends at @gin_joint and @doarbros just to name a few. Walking into the Visitor’s Center, we were surprised and excited to see the legend himself, Germán of @tearsofllorona was pouring samples of his renowned tequila for patrons and chatting them out. It was the perfect way to cap off this event. The night wasn’t even close to over though as we popped over to @starlight to drop into the @cocktailbandits Afro Beats party and finally finished at an 80’s party at @proofonking with @lalospirits where @kokylo and @bbwiththebetterhair were slinging drinks all night. It was the best way to end the day. PSA: The #CHSWF team made the difficult decision to close down the biggest event of the festival for the remainder of the weekend due to safety concerns…. And no we’re not just talking about slipping in the mud, we’re talking power lines in pools of standing water. I know the team is doing the best they can to answer any questions and transferring tickets to other events and even to events in 2025. Please just remember to be KIND, patient and understanding, as their team is dealing with all of it. — #cocktail #cocktails #craftcocktail #craftcocktails #charleston #chsdrinks #charlestonsc #cocktailparty #drinkporn #bartender #mixology #mixologist #holycityhandcraft #drinkoftheday #homebartender #instadrink #drinkstagram #CHSWF #charlestonwineandfood #chseats #eaterchs #CHSWF #fujix100vi

This might be one of the best events I’ve ever attended in the last 8 years of covering @chswineandfood . | Recap below 👇 KAMAYAN NIGHT | #CHSWF If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of a Kamayan, it’s a traditional Filipino feast where various grilled/roasted meat, seafood, fruits and vegetables are served on a bed of rice and banana leaves. But here’s the kicker, “Kamayan” means “Hands” or “Eat with your Hands” and we did just that. The event featured THREE @beardfoundation nominees in Charleston’s own @nikko_cagalanan of @kulturacharleston and the talented teams over at @kaya.orlando and @kamayan_atl . They put together a menu of elevated Filipino dishes including chicken adobo (our national dish), Wagyu tapa, longoniza meat balls, lumpia, and no Filipino feast would be complete without a whole roasted pig (aka Lechon). To go with the incredible food, beverage director Jessica Ford (@queenofcoupes ) created a Pandan Daiquiri for the event as well as San Miguel Beer, the official beer of the Philippines. 10/10 - would recommend - there were even talks of a collaboration in the works with HCH? More to come…… . . . . . #eater #eeeeeats #foodie #foodporn #dailyfoodfeed #foodstagram #yummy #buzzfeast #forkyeah #instafood #chseats #thrillist #bonappetit #huffposttaste #foodporn #eaterchs #feedfeed #cheatdaymeals #charlestonsc #holycityhandcraft #CHSWF #kamayan #filipinofood #pandan #boodlefight

OPENING NIGHT // #CHSWF // Recap below 👇 I can’t believe it’s been eight years for me but here we go again! Opening night was last night and while the rain hampered the original outdoor venue, it didn’t affect anyone’s spirits. There was plenty of food, drinks and dancing and a lot to sample but my favorite of the night was the bite from @porchettashop featuring pork from @holycityhog It’s the 19th year for the @chswineandfood Festival and I’m excited to once again eat and drink my way through the weekend. Per usual, this festival is going to have the usual cast of local talent as well as some new faces, venues and products. I can’t wait to show y’all everything there is to see in the next coming days. Are you going to any events this weekend? If so, let me know where you’ll be. If you see me, make sure to stop by and say hey! See y’all out there. — #cocktail #cocktails #craftcocktail #craftcocktails #charleston #chsdrinks #charlestonsc #cocktailparty #drinkporn #bartender #mixology #mixologist #holycityhandcraft #drinkoftheday #homebartender #instadrink #drinkstagram #CHSWF #osmopocket3 #charlestonwineandfood #chseats #eaterchs #chswineandfood

You asked for more Paloma riffs, I gotchu! This one subs the traditional salt rim with olive brine and it works SO well with the grapefruit in this recipe. Saline and aperitivos rend to accentuate the citrus notes and in this case, it brings out some of the grapefruit in Salers. Hope yall enjoy this one, it’d be a good one to batch. — VENETIAN PALOMA — 1½ oz | 45 ml Tequila ¾ oz | 22.5 ml Lime Juice ½ oz | 15 ml Grapefruit Juice ½ oz | 15 ml Saler’s ½ oz | 15 ml Agave Nectar ¼ oz | 7.5 ml Olive Brine Garnish: Grapefruit Wedge + Olives — Stir, strain over big cube in a rocks glass. Garnish with a lemon twist. — #holycityhandcraft #recipereels #rosita #tequilacocktail #cocktails #drinkstagram #drinkrecipes #drinkreels #makeadrink #holycityhandcraft #recipereels #margaritarecipe #margarita #paloma #palomarecipe
