The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Brockman’s Gin claimed October as Brocktober where twenty Mixologists create cocktails and post them one after the other. So, today it is my turn and I decided to come up with a punch recipe. Furthermore, instead of adding complementary flavours, I played heavily on the Brockman’s Gin proprietary berry notes. While I am quite pleased […]
Pastis is quite the underappreciated ingredient. Ever since absinthe is wildly available again, Pastis, the herbal liqueur created to replace the mysterious ingredient, has been ekes out a niche existence. Yet, apart from the two famous brands, high quality liqueurs exist with an excellent value for money. Of course, you have to be a fan […]
Contrary to some, who consider the Dry Martini as an Aperitif, I consider a good Aperitivo a low-ABV cocktail. When the drink also includes wine or beer, it is tempting to already sip them in the afternoon. However, even if you do not want to promote day drinking these light refreshers are also perfect for […]
The Paper Airplane already is a modern classic cocktail . So, when I got my hands on a new Italian Aperitivo, I wanted to come up with a variation. The Rinomato L’Aperitivo Decisio was clearly created to be used in Spritzes, however it also makes a great ingredient for Sam Ross’s drink.
While I only recently reviewed the regular Reisetbauer Blue Gin here on the blog, there now is another version on the market.

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 […]
After gin and vermouth, clearly the next trend are non-alcoholic “spirits”. I still have not found a good way of describing this category, because strictly speaking they are not “spirits”. However, until now I have only tried non-alcoholic “gins” which should only enjoyed mixed. The Mondino Senza changes that! I can tell you right away, […]
While Milk Punches are en vogue right now, I came up with the recipe for a classic punch quite a while ago. Additionally, I want to use the drink to introduce two spirits to you which I did not come around to write about. The one is another Monteru single grape variety brandy and the […]
There is a few new products from the renown German eau de vie distiller Schladerer. They had their 175-year anniversary in 2019 and in the merge of that they launched a gin and an apéritif.
