The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
It has been a while since the last Spirited news here at the blog. However, the Lagerkorn 12, basically a German whisky, by the Sasse distillery near Munster makes this one rather special. Instead of making a cocktail with this rare spirit, I went for a boilermaker – the spirit neat and a beer.
When everyone is still talking about gin, it is easy to overlook its ancestor genever. However, because of its heritage, complex production techniques and its unique taste it is well worth a try! At the Ginfinity 2019 I tried the By The Dutch Old Genever a version of the most traditional style of Dutch genever. […]
In the last few months I had a growing interest in tequila. On top of that, we had a great Sazerac by the bartender from the Blind Pig in Dublin. Therefore, I tried to recreate the recipe with a combination of Reposado tequila and mezcal. I agree that a Sazerac needs a little bit of […]

After a short Summer break, I am back with a late Summer drink. This article also takes an indepth look at another great eau de vie from renown Austrian producer Gölles. On top of that, I also like to present Tormintill to you, a traditional German bitter liqueur reinterpreted.
