The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
The Martini, may be one of the most famous cocktails ever created. At least for me, it was not a pleasant sipper you instantly fall in love with. Instead, it took quite a few years and tries to get used to it. However, in the past few months I found myself craving one quite often. […]
Sometimes I am an idiot, for instance when it comes to the Dodd’s Gin. I am absolutely convinced that its makers intended to name it “Dude’s Gin” and therefore I am refusing to call it otherwise. Most of you will now moan and think: “so we are back to gin reviews then?” – Well yes, […]
I have been absent from Mixology Monday way, way too long! That is why one of my new-year resolutions was to participate each and every time this year… And what can I say: I already missed January! Damn it! So, I guess I have to make up for it now: here is my entry for […]
The second drink in this mini-series is a variation of the Hanky Panky cocktail. Which itself is a variation of a sweet Martini, which is a variation of the classic Martini. So calling it a Martini is a bit farfetched, or is it?
You are probably bored by the endless Martini variations out there! Nevertheless, I had some interesting ideas floating around in my head and let me tell you this: they turned out be rather good.
I was wondering if you could turn the peculiar Arsenic And Old Lace cocktail into a tropical drink. While the Original is weird, its mix of ingredients is also very intriguing. So, I set to work and this is the delicious result!
This is a spontaneous idea I had which actually kills two birds with one stone. First, I am using this as an entry for the Mr. Black Quick Edit Challenge and second, I get another entry for September’s Home Bar Awards challenge. The whole drink is inspired by the seasons and me preparing yet another […]
We will take a short break from Tropical Month to look at another stunning eau de vie from Spiritus Rex. This Cuvée of a rare apple and gentian root is really powerful stuff! Apart from that, I collaborated with my friend Torben from Trinklaune to create a cocktail which on one hand profits from the […]
One thing I love about travel is that you discover new products. In this case, I probably would never have discovered this bitter orange liqueur, if I didn’t visit a small shop in Passau, Germany. Of course, there are a lot of orange liqueurs out there. Yet, this one felt special and I can say […]
You might already know that I love apricots, especially eau de vies. Therefore, I am always keen on trying bottlings from other distillers. In this case, I got the chance to try the Mühle 4 Vinschger Marille which won silver at the 2018 Craft Spirits Awards. Furthermore, I came up with a floral cocktail using […]
