The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
So far I have written about the classic Negroni and its variations from other barkeepers. So, here are two variations from myself. While the first one shows how I would prepare your Negroni if you would be my guest, the second one takes everything a bit further. Some even would say too far…
I have been planning an article about Negronis for quite some time now. So, this year’s Negroni week is the perfect reason for not further postponing it. So, below you can find four different “Negronis” ranging from the original classic to modern interpretations.
The folks from Kirsch Whisky were so kind to send me the current Distiller’s Edition of the Brewdog Lone Wolf Gin. On top of that, I also received a sample of Vietnamese rhum. Since, the gin has exotic fruits as extra botanicals, I thought to combine them both in a Sour suitable for late summer!
On to the next drink in this little series on American Whiskey cocktails: This one features the Widow Jane Bourbon and I took inspiration from the classic Smash recipe. To be honest, I did not stray from the beaten path that far with this.
On our honeymoon, we visited the Amor Y Amargo Bar and had a wonderful evening. It left a lasting impression on me. Ever since I want more Amaros and more bitters in my homebar. Apart from that, I tried to recreated a drink the barkeeper tailor-made for me. It might not be the same drink, […]

If there is a spirit I am regularly neglecting here on the blog, it is Cachaça. To change that, I gave the Magnifica Extra Premium a try. On top of that, I came up with an Old-Fashioned variation which was really delicious. Although probably no one else can recreate it…
There are rums out there for purists and then there are ones out there which get an excessive barrel finish. In this case, Dos Maderas through an intricate blending and ageing process add a lot of sherry notes to their rum. Luckily, I recently discovered the 1919 cocktail which specifically calls for such a flavourful […]
The Home Bar Awards Challenge for August is all about cocktail mash-ups. So, I decided to randomly chose two drinks of the Difford’s Guide’s World’s Top 100 list. Luckily, with the P*** Star Martini and the Rum Sour I got two quite good draws. So, let us find out who the mash-up turned out!
Again, I am late with the review of an eau de vie. The Scheibel Distillery from the black forest send me three different eau de vie a few months ago. However, the Mirabelle eau de vie is the only one which I did not present to you until now. To change that I came up […]
