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.
Ferrand Spirits always sends out great Christmas presents. This year I got a stollen made with their rum. The logical thing to do was to pair it with an Eggnog. So, I based my recipe on the classic one I found at Jeffrey Morgenthaler’s blog and obviously used Plantation Rum in it.
For Adam’s Christmas edition of Soundtrack My Friend’s Drink, I created a seasonal cocktail for Peter Ross. Browsing through his posts, I got the idea to come up with a Christmassy Garibaldi variation. Brace yourself for some cacao and eau de vie in this!
Just a quick recipe for St. Nick’s and the start of a few more festive cocktails here on the blog. In this case, I created the recipe for some tasty homemade pecan butter fat-washed bourbon.
This is probably the cocktail which I neglected the longest. I had the basic idea during Christmas time 2019. Now, two-and-a-quarter years later I finally got around to mix it and write about it.

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 […]
For the festive days there is a great cocktail which almost has nothing to do with Christmas. The Mistaken for Strangers by Misty Kalkofen basically is a Grappa Last Word cocktail. So, when I got my hands on a sloe eau de vie from Lantenhammer I thought I mix up a variation of this festive […]
We take a short break from gin today for this festive malt. Every year The Whisky Exchange bottles a single malt whisky especially for the holidays. After last years exquisite bottling I just had to get my hands on this years edition. This year’s A Fine Christmas Malt is a 10-year-old cask strength whisky from […]
