The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
The modern gin craze – I only have one problem with it and it is not the sheer amount of new gin introduced to the market, nor the price cover-up represented by half litre bottles, but rather the trend towards a lower alcohol content. Ok, maybe I have more than one problem with modern gin, […]
I do not want to downgrade my other cocktail creations, but I think this new one might be quite interesting! Although I think I rather should let you decide on that matter. Nevertheless, I created this homage to my boss’s Goldener Wurf for my sister, when she came around and demanded a drink. Of course […]
It seems like no matter what I do, I can’t shake the gin… Yet, gin producers continue to give their best to surprise me with new variations that attract my attention. In this case, I almost disregarded the spirit in question as “just another gin”. However, my dear colleagues from Trinklaune made sure to awake […]

This way, my boss and I where the first persons in Bavaria to try the new Glendalough whiskies and Poitín. And here are […]
I thought I change things up a little this time: Instead of a simple beer review I am providing you with a beer cocktail using the beer in question. This is why somewhere behind this very cryptic headline hides the name of this new summer beer drink. The other part of the headline is the […]
This time I first created a cocktail and began looking for the right spirit afterwards. Maybe that is not totally right, because I had the idea of making a Manhattan style cocktail with green walnut liqueur for quite some time. Now I finally got my hands on some of this exotic liqueur. Moreover, with the […]
