The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
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.
This is just my version of the classic Godfather cocktail. Not that this cocktail gets requested often. Yet, I thought I come up with the best possible version for my taste. Obviously, this means that the easy drink got a bit more complicated.
I know it is Dry January, but here is a drink I already mixed up in December. On top of that, this is a great drink using Scotch whisky and a variation of another drink I made last year.
Sometimes you just have to remix drinks you had too long ago. In this case, the Highball might seem a bit boring at first glance. However, the Mizuwari Highball is more than its list of ingredients might suggest. On top of that, this gave me the excuse to present the Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky to […]
To prepare for the our trip to the US, I organized an American Whiskey tasting with friends. However, because of our honeymoon, it took me that long to write up the results. All in all, we tried an American Whiskey, six bourbons and four rye whiskies. Below you will find the first part of the […]

I am a big fan of Compass Box Whiskies. So, when they teamed up with Brewdog, another innovative brewery / distillery, I just had to try their whisky. The Compass Box Transistor was especially designed to work as a Boilermaker with the Brewdog Punk IPA. Apart from the Boilermaker, I also took inspiration from the […]
Nowadays whisky is produced everywhere around the world. Similar to wine, the new world is currently making a name for themselves in this spirits category.
