The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Next up in the coffee related series here on the blog, we are taking a closer look at another Italian style espresso blend. Similar to last time, there is a healthy dose of robusta in it, combining coffee from Brazil and India.
Well, flavoured and coloured gins apparently are a thing now. I guess it is no wonder then, that Quarantini Gin also have their own version now. While I cannot say that I am a big fan of Pink Gins, I thought I still give this one a try. All in all, it really turned out […]
Have you ever heard of Sotol? Well I have, but until now I did not try one myself. Yet, the folks behind Dr. Sours wanted to change that. So, here we are taking a closer look at the Sotomayor Sotol. Luckily, I had some bergamot lemonade essence on hand which seemed like a perfect fit […]
I wanted to write about coffee for a long time now. Probably, if I had to choose one more hobby besides mixing drinks it would be brewing coffee. So, I am now taking the time to take a closer look at coffees from different roasters. Let us begin with the maxpower espresso from the Maxbean […]
I guess the current theme is finishing series I started I while ago and did not finish until now. On to our “Incredibly Good Mai Tais” serial with two new rum combinations. On the one hand, I just combined a Jamaican rum blend with aged Rhum Agricole and on the other hand introduced some white […]

Sometimes when you start a series, it is a bit hard to see it through. At the same time, even if you are concentrating on one drink, the versions are endless. However, let us get back on track with our little series on Martinis.
You know how it is, you have great cocktail ideas, but you cannot try them all! At the same time, when you do it happens that you get not to write about them. However, inspired by Torben from Empirebrick of Gin, I decided to publish some of them anyway. (It seems like I was quite […]
Obviously, if you get your hands on a high-quality spirit, you first enjoy it on its own. However, even when it seems exuberant, excellent spirits may result in outstanding cocktails. This is why I decided to pair the lavish mirabelle plum eau de vie from Spiritus Rex with a limited edition rum from Barbados in […]
Obviously, other countries in Great Britain also produce whisky now, despite Scotland. However, until now I never had a Welsh whisky. In this case, I decided to come up with a Paper Plane variation using a salted Aperitif and bitters from Switzerland as well.
