The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I guess it is kind of a new trend to come up with cake or dessert flavoured liqueurs. In this case, I got a surprise sample of apple strudel liqueur from the Tinnauer Distillery. Inspired by a drink from Cocktailbart, I decided to mix up an apple flavoured sour style cocktail.
There are more common cocktails out there and then there are drinks which are completely off the charts. In this case, the “Hispanola Buccaneer” is a crazy flavour combination which comes from the Berlin bar Beckett’s Kopf. It combines Clairin, sherry, two eau de vies and Verjus for a multiplex drinking experience.
The third and last installment in my little beer cocktails series is a twist on the Blood & Sand. Obviously, there is scotch in the mix, but I went for a non-peated version. Instead, I added a bit of smoky flavours through the Gänstaller Burned Malt smoked beer. So, let us see how this little […]
I already featured the different Eversbusch Doppelwachholders here on the blog. However, Peter Eversbusch always is in search of new products. This time, he infused his regular juniper spirit with craft coffee from a local coffee roaster. Since I am always up for coffee flavoured spirits I was looking forward to trying it.
I already reviewed quite a few bottles from Douglas Laing’s Regional Malts series. The standard expressions are a great way of tasting the different styles and regions of Scottish malts. However, there is even more to discover! Douglas Laing also releases special versions of the blended Scotch whiskies. Today, I am taking a closer look […]
To be honest, up until now I never made the original ubiquitous Espresso Martini. I always replaced the vodka with another spirit. Somehow, it never made sense to me to combine coffee flavours with a rather neutral spirit. So, this time I really stuck to the authentic recipe. Yet, I am also presenting another version […]
You probably noticed that I like coffee flavoured cocktails. Of course, there is the Espresso Martini, but it is also fun to add coffee flavour to drinks which you usually do not link to coffee right away. In this case I went a little crazy and added as many coffee flavours I possibly could to […]
It feels like pouring cocktails through coffee filters is a new trend. However, for this Green Point variation I went in a different direction: I just infused sweet vermouth with coffee. The Single Barrel version of the Evan Williams bourbon range seemed like a perfect fit for this style of cocktail.
It took a while since our distillery visit for me to present a detailed look at one of the Teeling whiskeys. Therefore, I came up with a drink which is a combination of two of my favourite Whiskey Sour variations, and it uses the Teeling Single Malt! This means the recipe includes amaretto and fortified […]
The Godfather is an almost classic combination of scotch and amaretto. So, I thought I have a go at some variations. The one drink is pretty much the original Godfather with just a splash of orange eau de vie added to it. However, the second cocktail is quite different from the authentic one. On top […]
