The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Sometimes you just have to remix drinks you had too long ago. In this case, the Highball might seem a bit boring at first glance. However, the Mizuwari Highball is more than its list of ingredients might suggest. On top of that, this gave me the excuse to present the Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky to […]
I thought I would make it a hat trick and write about the third tequila drink in a row. This time it is all about a great blanco tequila in combination with White Negroni variation. With a little extra in the form of a strawberry pepper bitters.
The next drink I want to present to you comes from my long list of cocktail ideas. Every time a flavour combination pops into my head, I write it down. So, there is a list of 200+ cocktails I could try. To lower the amount of cocktails on that list, I started going through it […]
You know what they say: Better late than never! However, this time I am over half a year late. Nevertheless, I am presenting a rather special Margarita variation to you. Basically, it is a Fig Margarita, but the fruitiness comes from a fig eau de vie and some fig liqueur.

On to the second part of our American whiskey tasting! This time the bourbon and ryes have all more than 55 % ABV. So, it was getting a bit hard to find all the flavours hiding beneath the alcohol that evening. Yet, we managed to come up with some halfway decent tasting notes.
To prepare for the our trip to the US, I organized an American Whiskey tasting with friends. However, because of our honeymoon, it took me that long to write up the results. All in all, we tried an American Whiskey, six bourbons and four rye whiskies. Below you will find the first part of the […]
If you are lucky enough, your best-man excels at planning your bachelor party and you find yourself on a surprise trip to Dublin. Obviously, we had to hit all the famous drinking spots. One of the best experiences of the trip was the visit the old Jameson Distillery. Therefore, I also had to buy a […]
We are continuing with another colourful and tropical cocktail! This time I played around with a new, funky Jamaica rum from independent bottler Rest & Be Thankful. As for the cocktail, I am working through my backlog of cocktail ideas. As it turned out I had a nice combination with unaged Armagnac on hand.
