Wicked Soul – Contratto Fernet
I do love Amaros, so I am very happy to try out a new Fernet. On top of that, I had an atypical vermouth to sample as well. So, I came up with a weird drink featuring both – and Träkal…

I always love to combine my travels with distillery visits. This time on our way to Vienna, we visited one of my favourite eau de vie distilleries – Reisetbauer. To make things short, the Reisetbauer distillery is well worth a visit!
It is always pure joy to take part in Adam’s Soundtrack My Friends Drink! This time we each had to come up with a shot. Another participant than chose a song to soundtrack the recipe.
When I came up with my drink for Negroni Week 2023, I also created an Americano version. Similar to my ‘Into the Red’ I used pinot noir sparkling wine in the drink. This resulted in a sparkling, but also still quite refreshing drink.
It’s been a while since I tried different glasses for eau de vies. So, here is an update on which glass works for which fruit spirit. I tried eighteen different glasses with six different eau de vies. All in all, there were some surprises, but also some obvious discoveries.
I am always late to the party. In this case, I missed Negroni week with my second post which I especially prepared for this occasion. I made a Negroni variation I had in mind for a long time now. Well, better late than never!
This is the second White Negroni variation in a short time. However, I cannot remember that I ever made a Mezcal Negroni variation. So, to change that, I came up with this aloe enhanced recipe.
Yes, it is another new gin and yes summer is almost over. However, this does not mean that you could not sip a summery gin highball. In this case, I came up with a grapefruit forward Negroni style highball.
It took me over a year to get around to mix this drink. However, the good thing is that I know had the perfect Scotch whisky for the recipe. The Glengoyne 12 Years worked perfectly well in this summery Rob Roy variation.
Who says that there are too many White Negroni variations out there? For this special drink I added a bit of extra gentian (& apple) eau de vie and lemon eau de vie. In this context, I am also introducing a new gin to you.
