The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I based the drink on the modern classic Negroni Bianco / White Negroni. Yet, I went for Reposado tequila as the base spirit. My changes did not stop there, but I also used a rather nerdy liqueur as well as a split wine base of port and Cocchi Americano.
The Eeyore’s Requiem by Toby Maloney really is a cocktail for expert level Negroni drinkers. Since I cannot get enough of bitter cocktails, I had to try it in my Remixed! series.
To be honest, this was the first Swiss wine I tried. Yet, it is an excellent starting point. We had this at Christmas with Raclette and it was a perfect match.
At the beginning of February, Joerg Meyer wrote about the Mango Negroni on his 7cl Business blog. Since, I was planning a tropical party anyway, I thought I give it a go.
It always was a blast participating in the Home Bar Awards challenges. I am very happy that Chris aka Cocktail Chris brought them back! The first quest of 2025 is all about classic sours, but without any citrus!
My good friend Sepo over at the Galumbi blog came up with this drink in 2019. Yes, it took me quite a while to reshake this cocktail. However, when I am not the only one with an obscure ingredient, I just have to do it eventually.
It took me more than a month to find the time to write about the latest tasting by our wine regular’s table. We chose the topic of German sparkling wines and of course I mixed in a little surprise.
Ever since I got my hands on the Satoshi Curaçao, I wanted to mix up a Mai Tai with it. So, tropical month came as a welcome excuse to try it out. I can already reveal this much: It was a very tasty cocktail.
I discovered the Dr. Jaglas Dry Hibiscus when looking for high-quality San Bitter alternatives. This hibiscus flavoured aperitivo just sounded perfect for a little NA-highball.
I really did managed to come up with a non-alcoholic recipe without using caffein for a change. All in all, the different components all have an Arabic touch and just fell into place. It all started with sumac syrup.
