The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I have been quite busy lately, so it was hard to keep up the pace of posting. Nevertheless, there is another drink in the spirit of agave month. It features a rather rare Makrut lime eau de vie from Matthias Sievert. On top of that, once again my friend Torben from Trinklaune and I collaborated […]
After tropical month, it is time to shift the focus on something else. Therefore, I decided to make March ‘agave month’. What better way to start than by mixing up a delicious and unique margarita variation? This cocktail uses reposado tequila, along with a spicy tequila infusion, as well as mandarin Curaçao.
Peter Eversbusch is a benchmark for the German juniper spirits scene. Not only does he continue the legacy of his family run distillery, but he also finds new and innovative ways to come up with new spirits. In this case, we take a look at Peter’s newest product the Jamaica rum barrel aged Wachholder.
I am all for serious cocktails! I enjoy Amaros or hard to get by ingredients no one has ever heard off as much as the next guy. However, sometimes it is also ok to have fun for a change. In this case, the fun part comes in the form of the brownie flavoured Razel’s Rum. […]
For the next part in my quest to find the best rum combination for a Mai Tai, I basically just switched the rums from the first time around. Again, I used four different rums, three Jamaica rum blends and one from Martinique in the opposite combination. Apart from that, I kept everything the same.
Well, I love Mai Tais like the next guy. However, I asked myself how I could make the best Mai Tai at home. So, I started a little series to see which combination of rum and orange curaçao in my home bar result in the, admittedly subjective, best version. Today, we start with four different […]
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 […]
I already featured the Aluna Coconut Rum here on the blog. However, German importer Perola is hosting a cocktail competition and I thought I have a go at it. Basically, the rules are simple, the drink has to have at least three ingredients and include at least 2 cl Aluna Coconut. All in all, I […]
Inspired by the New Ginger Mai Tai from the Seibert’s Bar in Cologne, I also wanted to create an exotically flavoured Mai Tai. However, instead of ginger, I went for Makrut lime and lemon grass for infusing the rum. Apart from that, I paired the spiced rum and orange curaçao with matcha liqueur to add […]
Yes, today I am presenting a Swimming Pool variation to you. You know that usually I am about serious cocktails, with serious spirits like bourbon or Mezcal. However, sometimes you should allow yourself to have a bit of fun. In this case, home-made blue curacao brings a bit of colour to the cocktail with a […]
