The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Usually I keep good track of the drinks I want to write about. Yet, this one slipped through my net, because I accidentally marked it as already published. Nevertheless, this Sazerac variation uses an interesting PX cask rum as well as a “tailored” bitter blend.
Let us stay with flavoured rums for a while. So, we take a closer look at the new spiced rum from Plantation. The Canerock uses Jamaica rum and local herbs and spices for its flavoured rum spirit. For a drink using it, I decided to come up with a sort of Hanky Panky variation with […]

When it comes to cocktails, there are some ingredients which have the ability to transform mediocre recipes into something special. One of those “cheater ingredients” is Pedro Ximenez sherry. It almost does not matter which ingredients you throw at this sherry, the recipe will always taste good. In this case, I chose a highly praised […]
As I already mentioned in the article on February’s Mixology Monday I am planning on taking part more often. Especially when the topic is right up my alley like this month’s: Old-Fashioned variations.
