The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Here is a drink with a new rum from Drinksyndikat. Actually, the rum itself is not at all new, but instead was marked by Wagemut before. Drinksyndikat basically adopted the recipe from Nicolas Kroeger. For the cocktail I went for a Paper Plane variation.
This is probably the cocktail which I neglected the longest. I had the basic idea during Christmas time 2019. Now, two-and-a-quarter years later I finally got around to mix it and write about it. However, this also gives me the excuse to review a special port from Dow’s. On top of that, I also have […]
When you think of heavily peated Islay single malt, you often think of the distilleries on Islay’s South coast. However, since a few years another distillery on the island set out to challenge the familiar names in the peated malt business. Bruichladdich, a traditionally none peated single malt, also has a line of heavily peated […]
After diving into rye whiskies some weeks ago, it is time to take a closer look at some other American whiskeys as well! In this case, it is all about an unconventional and therefore rather special whiskey. The Dry Fly Port Barrel Wheat Whisky is finished in huckleberry wine barrels. This is why, it is […]
Diving deep into the backlog again. This is a Manhattan / Rum Manhattan hybrid, I came up with in the Christmas season 2022. Just in the spirit of that season, I added a healthy das of spices.
One of the last drinks I mixed before Dry January 2024. I always enjoy mixing with Japanese whisky. In this case, I had the chance to create a Rob Roy variation with the Yoichi Single Malt.
For the start of Agave Month 2024, I have something special for you. On one hand, the drink has mezcal as a base and on the other hand a green mandarin eau de vie. On top of that, the recipe is based on the Last Word cocktail.
Probably, this is the last post of 2023. Luckily, I have a new whisky on hand which seems perfect for that occasion. For a drink, I went for a Blood & Sand variation. However, there is no orange juice left in the recipe.
I always love to combine my travels with distillery visits. This time on our way to Vienna, we visited one of my favourite eau de vie distilleries – Reisetbauer. To make things short, the Reisetbauer distillery is well worth a visit!
It is always pure joy to take part in Adam’s Soundtrack My Friends Drink! This time we each had to come up with a shot. Another participant than chose a song to soundtrack the recipe.
