Tropical Month 2024 – Big Bird
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.
Bitters
Tropical Month 2024 – Bricks & Mortar
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!
Tropical Month 2024 – AB Rum Punch
It might be an underrated tropical drink, but the Rum Punch does deserve a closer look. Therefore, I came up with my own version. I actually mixed this drink back in 2022. This means, I am diving deep into the recipe backlog here.
Tropical Month 2024 – Ballad of Yaya
I came up with this drink during Tropical Month 2023, but did not came around to write about it. Since this was a great combination of flavours, I thought I just post it this year. However, this also means I am not completely sure how I got to the specific recipe.
Ten-year anniversary post
This is it! To the day ten years ago, I started this blog and posted my first cocktail recipe. While I kept doing what I love, nowadays it is about finding the time to shoot the pictures, postproduction, writing and publishing. However, for my anniversary post, I have something special for you!
SMFD – Stars and Moons
When Adam of Soundtrackmydrink calls, I am always happy to oblige. Especially, if it is the Christmas edition. In this case, Rewati from seulfood_ chose Mezcal as a base spirit for my entry and the song ‘Stars & Moons’ by Dizzy. The obvious choice was to come up with a Harvest Moon variation.
In Birdsong – Spiritus Rex Rowan
So, I realized that I had some Spiritus Rex eau de vies on hand which I did not present so far. The 10th anniversary of my blog coming up gave me the perfect excuse to present them. This article features the most common one of the three wild fruit eau de vies.
The Wild Mecury – Satoshi Cuvée
Sometimes there goes a lot of thought into my recipes. Some other time the drink starts with its title and I create a suitable cocktail for the song / music reference. Yet, in this case, I started with two ingredients which were coincidentally standing around in my living room at the same time.
House Godfather – Double Whisky & Amarettos
This is just my version of the classic Godfather cocktail. Not that this cocktail gets requested often. Yet, I thought I come up with the best possible version for my taste. Obviously, this means that the easy drink got a bit more complicated.
Rainbow Valley – A Low ABV Refresher
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.
