The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
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.
When the folks of Drinksyndikat asked if I wanted to sample their first gin, I was very happy to try it in a recipe from my long list of ideas. I guess that the inspiration for it comes in form of some kind of Twentieth Century variation.
It is volume number 11 of Soundtrack my Friend’s Drink! This time Adam chose a partner who picked a song for us. While my song chosen by Shelby Mastro was not exactly what I like to hear, I still came up with a tasty drink for it.
I have been planning an article about Negronis for quite some time now. So, this year’s Negroni week is the perfect reason for not further postponing it. So, below you can find four different “Negronis” ranging from the original classic to modern interpretations.

I am all for serious cocktails! I enjoy Amaros or hard to get by ingredients no one has ever heard off as much as the next guy. However, sometimes it is also ok to have fun for a change. In this case, the fun part comes in the form of the brownie flavoured Razel’s Rum. […]
For this year’s St. Nicolas Day my wife came up with the idea to serve a drink in a chocolate Santa. However, it turned out that not every chocolate Santa is leakproof. Nevertheless, I came up with a suitable cocktail and added an ingredient I rarely use. No, I am not talking about the Douglas […]
As I mentioned last year when I reviewed several blood orange eau de vies, it is a bit of a trend with European distillers to make one. So, a bit overdue Lantenhammer has weight in, but when they did, they made sure that they did it right. The new blood orange eau de vie is […]
