One Bottle One Drink – Norwegian Wood
Before I was preparing the article on the Linie Paloma, I was made aware that it was a long time since I last featured aquavit on the blog. To change that, I mixed up Jeffrey Morgenthaler’s Norwegian Wood.
Calvados Drinks
One Bottle One Drink – Bitter End
Yes, this is another Negroni variation and not necessarily one suited for summer. However, the split base of overproof cognac and overproof calvados was too intriguing to not try it. Obviously, I had to pair those powerful spirits with other strong ingredients.
Remixed! – A Moment of Silence
The A Moment of Silence from Maks Pazuniak – inventor of the Angostura Sour – also uses a whopping amount of bitters. To be honest, I am not the biggest fan of that. Yet, I could not resist to try this crazy combination.
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.
OBOD – Ad Libitum
On our honeymoon, we visited the Amor Y Amargo Bar and had a wonderful evening. It left a lasting impression on me. Ever since I want more Amaros and more bitters in my homebar. Apart from that, I tried to recreated a drink the barkeeper tailor-made for me. It might not be the same drink, […]
Soundtrack my Friends Drink – Nowhere Inn
I am really excited to take part in Sound Track My Drink’s #SoundtrackMyFriendsDrink for the first time. This time it is all about movie and tv show soundtracks. So, I got @Drink_lv pick, St. Vincent’s Nowhere Inn as a song. I was more than happy to come up with a drink for that song / […]
Apples – Tinnauer Apfelstrudellikör
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.
Stone Angel – Coquerel V.S.O.P Calvados
There is a great number of drinks called the Stone Fence cocktail. However, they all revolve around apples as an ingredient. The drink was probably first mixed in the United States with Applejack and Cider. When creating a variation of the Stone Fence cocktail, I wanted to keep it simple, with a certain twist.
Transatlanticism – Coquerel X.O.
It’s been a while since my last calvados review here on the blog. I also did not feature a Manhattan variation for a while now. Although, the Manhattan is my second favourite cocktail, right after the Negroni. On top of that, I also have a very interesting new bitter to introduce to you, the Bittermen’s […]
C'est Si Bon – Daron Calvados
Well, it is again time to look at a rather underappreciated cocktail ingredient: Calvados! This very traditional French apple brandy is not very popular in bars, but it never fails to give drinks a perfect apple note. This is why I also had the idea to create a cocktail variation of a rather famous drink […]
