The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
What would you do if you had various fortified wines on hand? Making classic cocktail variations would certainly not be the worst idea. Well, that is why I settled on mixing a Rob Roy variation. Of course, I named it according to the unwritten law of giving drinks with Scottish ingredients the name of a […]
Here is another drink to reminisce on summer! A lower ABV highball which serves as a perfect refresher for the hotter days, or as an excellent Aperitif. I just wanted to play around with the flavours here and use rosemary as a garnish.
The Martini, may be one of the most famous cocktails ever created. At least for me, it was not a pleasant sipper you instantly fall in love with. Instead, it took quite a few years and tries to get used to it. However, in the past few months I found myself craving one quite often. […]
I somehow missed Negroni Week this year! This is somehow atypical for me, but I still have some great ideas for Negroni variations. One of them is not only composed of gin, but also includes a fabulous blood orange eau de vie. As if this was not enough there also is a new, limited Mondino […]
I know that Mezcal is not the latest trend amongst bartenders and cocktail aficionados. I myself also have tasted a fair amount of it so far, but still most of Mezcal cocktails I mixed so far were twists on classic recipes. This is why I thought it was time for my own, new Mezcal cocktail! […]
I have to admit I was a bit sceptical when I first heard about the Oro Ibiza Gin. The combination of its unusual design and the relatively low ABV made me think that this gin maybe was made for long nights spent partying in Ibiza, rather than the use in high quality cocktails. Yet, when […]
Sometimes things happen which you do not expect. In this case, I was prepared to taste the Sonoma County Distilling Rye, but the presentation ended up in a full on whisky tasting. This way, my boss and I where the first persons in Bavaria to try the new Glendalough whiskies and Poitín. And here are […]
For the start of Agave Month 2024, I have something special for you. On one hand, the drink has mezcal as a base and on the other hand a green mandarin eau de vie. On top of that, the recipe is based on the Last Word cocktail.
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.
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.
