The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Truffles are always a delight. However, the truffle flavour is hard to incorporate into drinks. So, I was very delighted to see that Wilhelm Marx created a whole line of truffle flavoured spirits. For this line, they partnered up with Trufo from Switzerland to create a truffle gin, a truffle raspberry spirit as well as […]
The mad Drinkstagrammer Matthias Soberon started a little thing called Secret Santé five years ago on Instagram. If you join, Matthias assigns you a fellow cocktail enthusiast for whom you create a drink in the spirit of secret Santa. It is my first time participating and I am very happy that I drew Slow Mixology […]
I have been more than lucky to try a great number of excellent spirits over the last year. So, in good tradition and the spirit of a “the year in review” I am sharing the ten best liquors of 2021 with you. Yes, I know as always I am too late to make this a […]
My good friends at Perola declared two weeks in the middle of December as “Coffee Cocktail Weeks”. So, of course I just had to participate with a drink using their newly imported Mr. Black coffee liqueur. In this case, I went for something in the Purple Coffee Negroni direction. However, I wish I had studied […]
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 this year’s St. Nicolas Day my wife came up with the idea to serve a drink in a chocolate Santa. However, it turned out that not every chocolate Santa is leakproof. Nevertheless, I came up with a suitable cocktail and added an ingredient I rarely use. No, I am not talking about the Douglas […]
The Cameron’s Kick is a cocktail I unfortunately disregarded so far. Somehow, I thought of it as a “dressed-up” Whiskey Sour. However, when I reviewed the Busker Irish Whiskey a few weeks back, I mixed up a variation of this classic cocktail. I was in for quite a surprise! Although I added a bit of […]
Lantenhammer just recently released a new line of barrel aged eau de vies. I already liked their Slyrs barrel aged bottlings, but in this case they aged their regular plum eau de vie in brandy barrels. On top of that, I am currently in the mood for Armagnac cocktails. So, I combined the eau de […]
So, it is the limited gin editions season again. This year, Brewdog weighs in with a new flavour combination for their regular Lonewolf Gin. In this case, the Distiller’s Cut is flavoured with lime and two of the hottest chilli peppers in the world. Since this somehow reminded me of Mexico, I decided to come […]
I am always keen on trying new American Whiskeys. So, when Perola added the new George Remus Bourbon to their portfolio, I just had to try it. This bootlegger inspired whiskey from Indiana really sounds very promising to try in cocktails! So, I came up with a Bourbon Sour cocktail suitable for the colder days […]
