Isaac – Bib & Tucker Six-Year-Old
For the next drink in this series on American Whiskey cocktails, I made a Boulevardier variation. Additionally, I drew some inspiration from the White Negroni to come up with a kind of combination of the two drinks.
Aperitif Drinks
Child Prodigy – Cava de Oro Plata
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.
Troubled Mind – Villa Lobos Blanco 55 %
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 […]
Sloe Groni – Scheibel Schlehe
It is no big secret that my favourite spirit category is eau de vies. Therefore, I am always happy when I am asked to come up with some eau de vie cocktails. In this case, the renowned Scheibel distillery send me some of their classic fruit spirits for mixing. So, let us start with the […]
True Nature – Controcorrente Vermouth Bianco
Vermouth is en vogue for a while now. However, it seems that another trend from winemaking is the new thing for vermouths now. First producers start to use natural wines as the base for their fortified wines. This is why, we take a closer look at the Controcorrente Vermouth Bianco today. On top of that, […]
Tuanaki – Akashi-Tai Junmai Daiginjo Genshu
I really enjoy sake, whether as a drink accompanying sushi, or mixed in Japanese-inspired cocktails. This is why I was very happy to have one a care-package by Akashi-Tai on my friend Serge’s page Hungry Thirsty Bored. Instantly, I came up with a sake based highball, which is light, but also very refreshing.
Purple Yellow Red & Blue – Fischer Gin
I guess every new gin needs to have a special colour now. However, there are still great gins out there to discover. Especially, if it is a local one. In this case the Ocean Gin comes from the renown vineyard and distillery Fischer.
The Pink Phantom – Quarantini Rosé
Well, flavoured and coloured gins apparently are a thing now. I guess it is no wonder then, that Quarantini Gin also have their own version now. While I cannot say that I am a big fan of Pink Gins, I thought I still give this one a try. All in all, it really turned out […]
The Ultimate Guide To Martinis – Part 2
Sometimes when you start a series, it is a bit hard to see it through. At the same time, even if you are concentrating on one drink, the versions are endless. However, let us get back on track with our little series on Martinis.
The B-Sides: A few different recipes
You know how it is, you have great cocktail ideas, but you cannot try them all! At the same time, when you do it happens that you get not to write about them. However, inspired by Torben from Empirebrick of Gin, I decided to publish some of them anyway. (It seems like I was quite […]
