The Scrappy Bartender

Welcome to our Scrappy Bartender recipe subscription, where we (Jennifer and Jessica) help you turn your kitchen scraps into mixology gold.

Every month, we’ll hit your mailbox with a thoughtful and seasonal scrappy waste recipe paired with a perfect cocktail. You'll also get our thoughts on spirits, alcohol, and sustainability because — surprise, surprise — the distillery industry is one of the worst polluters out there.

First up, you'll get a monthly recipe to transform your kitchen waste into a tasty base ingredient. Were talking spent espresso grounds transformed into luxurious coffee liquors and leftover rice into a creamy, cinnamon-infused horchata.

Then, we give you the perfectly paired craft cocktail recipe to put this scrappy concoction to use. These are classics with a twist, like a banana peel oleo sacrum as the sweet layer of a Banana Old Fashioned or a jalapeno tincture dashed into a Spicy Margarita. And yes, you can expect options for all our alcohol-free friends as well.

This is all coming at you via snail mail so we won't get lost in your inbox. You'll have a real-life, physical piece of paper to keep forever (which you will, right?) because we can all agree that a well-loved recipe splattered with bitters and lime juice is so much more worth cherishing than a well-loved laptop splattered with the same.

Sign up for a journey into scrappy cocktails. We promise you'll come away with a new, more sustainable approach to mixing, shaking, and stocking your home bar, plus a fist full of cocktail recipes to share.

Yours Truly,
Jennifer and Jessica, The Scrappiest of Bartenders
