Behind the Bar with The Drinking Coach - Tiffanie Barriere
There’s something magical about watching a master at work, and when it comes to cocktails or mocktails, Tiffanie Barriere knows how to make flavor tell a story. In her latest Shaker & Spoon box, she crafted three drinks using Brooklyn Brewed Sorrel as the star ingredient, proving that sorrel can be just as bold, nuanced, and celebratory as any spirited option.

The Drinks
JUBILEE!
A tall, layered beauty that catches the eye as much as the palate. Bright, playful, and layered with flavors that make every sip feel like a celebration.
PORT OF CALL
A pink, frothy coupe that’s as balanced as it is fun. Tart, tangy, and perfectly complemented by subtle citrus and bubbles, this one shows how sorrel can transform a drink into an experience.
BOOGIE’N MY WOOGIE
Dark, moody, and irresistible on the rocks, this drink highlights sorrel’s ability to hold its own alongside bitters and rum, bringing warmth, spice, and depth to every sip.

Tiffanie’s philosophy is simple. Ingredients aren’t just for flavor, they’re for connection. In this set, sorrel is both the flavor and the through-line, linking Caribbean foodways, spice traditions, and moments of Black celebration across generations. Every element from rum to citrus, bubbles to bitters is there to create balance, evoke memory, and bring intention to each drink.
Each cocktail reflects a different emotional register, boozy, sour, or effervescent, but together, they tell a single, cohesive story. At the center of it all is Brooklyn Brewed Sorrel, a drink impossible to replicate and unforgettable once experienced.
Whether you’re a seasoned mocktail enthusiast or just looking to add a little sparkle to your day, these drinks are proof that sorrel is more than a flavor, it’s a story, a tradition, and a celebration in every glass.
