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…

Homebar Awards 05/23 – My Vibe
The Home Bar Awards challenge for Mai 2023 was to create a bourbon ‘Session’ drink for the summer. This time, the competition was supported by Basil Hayden’s. After a little research, I came up with a simple recipe which takes a little bit more effort during preparation.
10th Anniversary – The Other Way
This is the first drink I ever posted to Augustine-Bar.de. Obviously, I had to revisit it for the 10th anniversary of my blog. If you take part in the giveaway on Instagram, you have the chance to remix it, too.
