I Appear Missing – Pomatium Gin
The Pomatium Gin comes from the Domaine du Coquerel which usually produces Calvados. Since, it is apple and pear flavoured, it seemed like a perfect fit to pair with a lilac syrup.

Distillery Visit – Casa Eva
This year was our second visit to Mallorca for summer holidays. Since we had such a great time last year, we also visited Stefan Winterling at his Casa Eva distillery again. I was especially curious, because he had just launched a vermouth.
Remixed! – Golden Age
Morten Krag’s Instagram feed is a regular source of inspiration for me. The drinks not only look absolutely amazing, but they also spark my curiosity about how they taste. This is why I needed to feature one of Morten’s drinks in my Remixed! series.
Remixed! – Eeyore’s Requiem
The Eeyore’s Requiem by Toby Maloney really is a cocktail for expert level Negroni drinkers. Since I cannot get enough of bitter cocktails, I had to try it in my Remixed! series.
Tropical Month ’25 – Mango Negroni
At the beginning of February, Joerg Meyer wrote about the Mango Negroni on his 7cl Business blog. Since, I was planning a tropical party anyway, I thought I give it a go.
Golden Sky – Gin Eva L’Horabaixa
Ever since our visit to Casa Eva in Mallorca this year, I was thinking about their newest gin the L’Horabaixa. It was one of the few new gins that was able to impress me. So, I am very happy that Stefan send me a bottle and I could try the recipe I pitched to him […]
Negroni Week 2024 – Cardinal
For this recipe, I started with a Gin & It variation. Yet, I added a bit of Italian red bitter to the recipe and this basically took the drink in another direction entirely. So, I just embraced the Negroni (Cardinale) spirit.
Negroni Week 2024 – Mandarine Negroni
This post falls under the “Remixed!” category, because the recipe comes from Dennis Stein of Le Lion, Hamburg. They are selling a barrel aged version of it during Negroni Week. So, if you are in Hamburg check it out.
Negroni Variations – Bananaroni
I held back with Negroni variations a bit, because I easily could only mix those. Maybe with the occasional Manhattan version thrown in. Despite, the name which still is kind of the working title, the drink does not taste half as crazy as it sounds.
Juniper Arms – Citadelle Juniper Decadence
Citadelle already have a lot of experience with ageing gins. Yet, they went the extra mile with their Juniper Decadence bottling. So, I came up with a Sazerac version – a drink I usually would not use a gin in.
