The Drink That Started It All
I thought a while which cocktail I should mix first in our new apartment. While I am now big into Negronis and Manhattans, the drink that started the whole ‘craft’ cocktail thing for me was the Old-Fashioned!

Diving deep into the backlog again. This is a Manhattan / Rum Manhattan hybrid, I came up with in the Christmas season 2022. Just in the spirit of that season, I added a healthy das of spices.
One of the last drinks I mixed before Dry January 2024. I always enjoy mixing with Japanese whisky. In this case, I had the chance to create a Rob Roy variation with the Yoichi Single Malt.
This is the last drink of Agave Month 2024. Posted just in time for the end of March, due to ongoing move-related chaos here at the AB-headquarters. Yet, this Mezcal Margarita variation is too good not to share with you.
Well, you could call this a Magarita variation or a Agave White Negroni with lime… Whatever you want to call it. The drink really is delicious and a great addition for Agave Month 2024.
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.
Let us end Tropical Month 2024 with a rather unknown tropical classic. Donn the Beachcomber created this drink which is named after the morse code for the letter ‘V’. This variation from Martin Cate of Smuggler’s Cove uses Vieux Rhum Agricole as a base spirit instead of just ‘gold rum’.
Yes, I know, this article is about another Jungle Bird variation. I just cannot help it, this is where my mind goes when I think about cocktails inspired by bird related songs. Yet, to differentiate the recipe more from my other version this tropical month, I turned this one into a milk punch.
Tropical Month would not be complete without a Jungle Bird variation. In this case, I added more complexity through pineapple rum as well as a famous German herbal liqueur.
I was wondering if you could turn the peculiar Arsenic And Old Lace cocktail into a tropical drink. While the Original is weird, its mix of ingredients is also very intriguing. So, I set to work and this is the delicious result!
