Cocktail Time with Kevin Kos

Are you ready for Valentine’s Day 🤔? Music and decorations are important things to keep in mind, but what about choosing the perfect cocktails?

This isn’t an easy choice, especially when you factor in speed behind the bar, how easy drinks are to batch, and overall consistency. To make things easier, I’ve written an e-book showcasing 4 Valentine’s cocktails that work just as well in a professional bar as they do for a home bartender looking to impress that special someone 🤩.

To make the decision even simpler, each e-book also includes a printable menu and a cocktail calculator, so all that’s left for you to do is make great drinks. Get your copy here: bit.ly/valentinese-book 👈, and now, it’s Valentine’s Time!

Sparkling grapes that pop when you bite into them sound like a garnish you’d only find in a Michelin-star kitchen, but they’re actually really easy to make using just an iSi siphon 🤩🍇!

Simply place the grapes inside the siphon, charge it with a single CO₂ cartridge, then let them sit for about 5 minutes to fully carbonate. After that, all that’s left is to release the pressure, open the siphon, and take out the grapes to add them to your cocktails.

You can of course experiment with other fruits too, but for best results I recommend ones with a high water content, like watermelon, blueberries, or even pomegranate seeds. Have you tried this technique before? Let me know down in the comments 👇. Cheers!

Are you saving a special bottle to celebrate the end of 2025, but you don’t know the best way to enjoy it 🤔? I get this question all the time, because people don’t want to ‘waste’ a luxury bottle. But I think the whole point of premium spirits is learning how to enjoy them, instead of letting them gather dust 🤔.

So today I’ll show you four ways to enjoy a premium bottle of Scotch–but these tips can apply to any luxury bottle, including wine. We’ll start by tasting Scotch neat to really understand its full flavor profile, then we’ll mix it into a few simple cocktails, including a Panettone Rob Roy that’s perfect for the holidays 😋

You just found out there are some guests on their way to your place, so you’re thinking about what to serve them when they arrive 😲! Don’t panic, we’ve all been there. So today I’ll show you five easy drinks made with FIOL Prosecco, along with some food you can serve alongside them.

For this, I asked for the help of Alen, a friend and chef who runs Mandl Food & Bar here in Maribor with his girlfriend. Mandl is one of our favorite spots in town 🤩, so after today I’m confident you’ll have the skills to make your guests say wow–even if you’re starting with just a cold bottle of prosecco and a bag of chips.

Honey is one of my favorite cocktail ingredients, because of how unique it is 🍯! From rich and floral, to even smokey and earthy, the flavor of honey can change depending on where the bees live, what they collect, and even the season. When it comes to cocktails, this gives you the option to add more depth to your cordials, or even make for a better flavor pairing in a classic Bee’s Knees.

If you have the option, the best way to learn more is to talk to your local beekeepers, but you can also find great online resources covering many types of honey and their flavor 😉. As a fun fact, here in Slovenia beekeeping is a tradition dating back generations, even leaving poems and writings about beekeeping dating back to the 18th century.

Do you have a favorite type of honey? Let me know down in the comments 👇. Until next time, cheers!

We’ve turned a donut into an Old Fashioned, and a brownie into Manhattan, and as part of our Rum & Chocolate Masterclass, today we’re transforming a chocolate chip cookie into a cocktail that tastes just as good while looking even better 🍪😋. To make it we’ll need to infuse Diplomatico rum with brown butter, make some Cacao Liqueur, and bake some chocolate cookies, but the end result is worth it. Check out the process in full here: https://youtu.be/AN4-pHYBK2M 😎. Now, it’s Cocktail Time!

Orgeat is a cocktail ingredient that has been around for many decades 😋. From making Japanese Cocktails to Mai Tais, there is nothing like a good orgeat… but what if you could make it even better?

What’s great about orgeat is that you can think of it as a template to create a syrup out of other types of nuts, grains, or seeds. After all, almonds are great, but have you tried making it with pistachios or cocoa nibs 🤔? These are a great way to add some variation to your classic cocktails.

As an added tip, if you are in a rush or if you don’t want to spend a lot of money on ingredients, you can buy any nut milk or milk alternative to make your orgeat within just a few minutes. Just add in sugar, as well as some xanthan gum for stabilizing and gum arabic for texture, and you’re good to go 😎. Until next time, cheers!
