Isaac – Bib & Tucker Six-Year-Old
For the next drink in this series on American Whiskey cocktails, I made a Boulevardier variation. Additionally, I drew some inspiration from the White Negroni to come up with a kind of combination of the two drinks.

Steal My Sunshine – Magnifica Extra Premium
If there is a spirit I am regularly neglecting here on the blog, it is Cachaça. To change that, I gave the Magnifica Extra Premium a try. On top of that, I came up with an Old-Fashioned variation which was really delicious. Although probably no one else can recreate it…
1919 – Dos Maderas 5+5 Rum
There are rums out there for purists and then there are ones out there which get an excessive barrel finish. In this case, Dos Maderas through an intricate blending and ageing process add a lot of sherry notes to their rum. Luckily, I recently discovered the 1919 cocktail which specifically calls for such a flavourful […]
Child Prodigy – Cava de Oro Plata
I thought I would make it a hat trick and write about the third tequila drink in a row. This time it is all about a great blanco tequila in combination with White Negroni variation. With a little extra in the form of a strawberry pepper bitters.
Troubled Mind – Villa Lobos Blanco 55 %
The next drink I want to present to you comes from my long list of cocktail ideas. Every time a flavour combination pops into my head, I write it down. So, there is a list of 200+ cocktails I could try. To lower the amount of cocktails on that list, I started going through it […]
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 / […]
Blue Hours – Michter’s Sour Mash
As a roundup of our lates American Whiskey tasting, I decided to mix cocktails with at least some of the whiskeys in the tasting. The start of this little series marks a drink inspired by the local cuisine of the Northeast. All of that resulted in a kind of Old-Fashioned variation using the Michter’s Sour […]
Writer’s Minor Holiday – Jameson Crested
If you are lucky enough, your best-man excels at planning your bachelor party and you find yourself on a surprise trip to Dublin. Obviously, we had to hit all the famous drinking spots. One of the best experiences of the trip was the visit the old Jameson Distillery. Therefore, I also had to buy a […]
Rest My Chemistry – Rest & Be Thankful MM
We are continuing with another colourful and tropical cocktail! This time I played around with a new, funky Jamaica rum from independent bottler Rest & Be Thankful. As for the cocktail, I am working through my backlog of cocktail ideas. As it turned out I had a nice combination with unaged Armagnac on hand.
The Pearl – Scheibel Williams
On with my little series on eau de vie cocktails. This time I again was inspired by the Flavor Bible to come up with this Old-Fashioned variation. Since pears go well with cinnamon and balsamic vinegar, I thought I just throw those three things together. Apart from that we also take a look at the […]
