Dry January – Coffee
Actually, I got inspired by my friend Johann from Cocktailbart. He posted a non-alcoholic cocktail which looked like an Espresso Martini a while ago. Yet, I took the drink in a different direction.

Two Trains – Drinksyndikat Hausgin
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.
Trick or Treaquila – Torquay
It is spooky season and this means “scary” cocktails! So, for a challenge on Facebook I came up with a seasonal Tequila Sour variation. It is not that scary, but there are fireworks!
Home Bar Awards – Up from Below
This is a spontaneous idea I had which actually kills two birds with one stone. First, I am using this as an entry for the Mr. Black Quick Edit Challenge and second, I get another entry for September’s Home Bar Awards challenge. The whole drink is inspired by the seasons and me preparing yet another […]
One More Cup – Neues Schwarz Classic
Another instalment of my ongoing coffee series. We are continuing with a classic Italian-style blend from Neues Schwarz. The “Classic” consist of 70 % arabica and 30 % robusta beans. So let us see how this one turns out in an Espresso.
One More Cup – Bergbrand Gipfelkreuz
Next up in the coffee related series here on the blog, we are taking a closer look at another Italian style espresso blend. Similar to last time, there is a healthy dose of robusta in it, combining coffee from Brazil and India.
One More Cup – Maxbean Maxpower
I wanted to write about coffee for a long time now. Probably, if I had to choose one more hobby besides mixing drinks it would be brewing coffee. So, I am now taking the time to take a closer look at coffees from different roasters. Let us begin with the maxpower espresso from the Maxbean […]
Coffee Cocktail Weeks – Coffee Negroni
My good friends at Perola declared two weeks in the middle of December as “Coffee Cocktail Weeks”. So, of course I just had to participate with a drink using their newly imported Mr. Black coffee liqueur. In this case, I went for something in the Purple Coffee Negroni direction. However, I wish I had studied […]
Same Old Dog – Brewdog Lonewolf DC
So, it is the limited gin editions season again. This year, Brewdog weighs in with a new flavour combination for their regular Lonewolf Gin. In this case, the Distiller’s Cut is flavoured with lime and two of the hottest chilli peppers in the world. Since this somehow reminded me of Mexico, I decided to come […]
Hard Travelin – Ortenburger Pomeranze
One thing I love about travel is that you discover new products. In this case, I probably would never have discovered this bitter orange liqueur, if I didn’t visit a small shop in Passau, Germany. Of course, there are a lot of orange liqueurs out there. Yet, this one felt special and I can say […]
