Kinsman Rakia 2019 Brandy Alexander Tour: Liberty Bar's Chocolaty Brandy Alexander

Callie Pruitt knows a thing or two about cocktails. The 20-year bar pro was previously the beverage director at Halcyon, and she’s now running the wells at Liberty Bar, pairing great food with even better cocktails.

For this year’s Kinsman Brandy Alexander Tour, Callie went the sweet route and enlisted the help of two other spirits to create a bold and chocolate-filled Brandy Alexander. Still, Kinsman remained the star of the show.

“I love Kinsman in cocktails. I’ve made a few beer cocktails with it, but some folks just like it over a big chunk of ice,” Callie said.

Try it at Liberty Bar this December, or try it at home!

Kinsman Rakia 2018 Brandy Alexander Tour: Liberty Bar

Liberty Bar’s Yoko’s Oh No//Jess Elizarraras

History plays a huge part at Liberty Bar, the storied San Antonio staple that opened in 1980 and relocated to the Southtown area in 2010. Bartender Phillip Zamora decided to tackle the Brandy Alexander with some cheeky historical context.

Long rumored to be John Lennon’s favorite tipple, the Brandy Alexander at Liberty Bar takes on a creamier mouthfeel with the addition of a egg yolk and a double shake. The result? A smooth, egg cream-esque variation on the boozy holiday favorite.

Liberty Bar // Yoko’s Oh No

1/2 oz. Amaretto

3/4 oz. Creme de Cacao

3/4 oz. Heavy Cream
