Dance Bear – Trä•kál Patagonian Spirit
I am not a fan of tomato juice, neither while flying nor in cocktails. However, things are completely different when it comes to carrot juice. So, I came up with a liquorice forward cocktail which uses it.

How to call a crossover between a Harvard Cocktail and the Black Manhattan? Well, I chose a song with more than a touch of darkness in it as a title. On top of that, I am presenting a classic brandy, probably everybody has heard of.
We stay a little bit longer on the topic of American Whiskey. In this case, I am presenting a ‘wheated’ bourbon to you. What better way of using it in a cocktail than to combine it with some stone fruit flavours and make a Cameron’s Kick?!
I wanted to mix this drink since our US trip last year. It was inspired by the 1919 cocktail created at Drink, Boston. However, I changed a few things and used a great bourbon I brought back from the States as a base spirit.
It is time for another excellent and exclusive eau de vie from Pinot Meunier grapes. Although this one is distilled from grapes, it is not a brandy, but rather barrel aged grape eau de vie. Nevertheless, I decided to come up with a Harvard variation for it.
So, I guess this is two for two now, because I have another gin to review. I really like the gins by Joerg Fiedler. One of his newer creations is the Smoke & Oak gin where he cleverly combined barrel aged gin with smoked Lapsang Souchong tea..
There a lot of gins out there, but still you can find really good ones by coincidence. My good friend Torben from Trinklaune suggested that I try the Wilder Mind gin. Obviously, I had to comply and try the gin Paul Brusdeilins distils after building quite the resume with other gins.
It is time for Soundtrack my Friend’s Drink again! For Volume 14 Adam collected song suggestions reminding us of our youth and randomly assigned them to another participant. In addition, we should include a childhood snack in the drink or as a garnish. So, I went for a high school party inspired mess of ingredients.
Yes, I know March is over, but I still have one more agave cocktail to go. In this case, I came up with a split base cocktail using tequila and rye. On top of that, I also threw in the rather unusual Parfait Amour. So, I guess you could call it a distant relative of […]
I guess it is a condition of every cocktail maniac to stockpile cocktail books. Yet, I almost never remix recipes from them. Since I vowed to change that, I am writing about Death & Co’s Oaxacan Old-Fashioned. On top of that, I am staying true to newly created ‘Agave Month’!
