Dance Bear – Trä•kál Patagonian Spirit
I am not a fan of tomato juice, neither while flying nor in cocktails. However, things are completely different when it comes to carrot juice. So, I came up with a liquorice forward cocktail which uses it.
Homemade Ingredients
Homebar Awards 05/23 – My Vibe
The Home Bar Awards challenge for Mai 2023 was to create a bourbon ‘Session’ drink for the summer. This time, the competition was supported by Basil Hayden’s. After a little research, I came up with a simple recipe which takes a little bit more effort during preparation.
Bergamot Morning – Juniper Jack Smoke & Oak
So, I guess this is two for two now, because I have another gin to review. I really like the gins by Joerg Fiedler. One of his newer creations is the Smoke & Oak gin where he cleverly combined barrel aged gin with smoked Lapsang Souchong tea..
Wild Season – Wilder Mind Gin
There a lot of gins out there, but still you can find really good ones by coincidence. My good friend Torben from Trinklaune suggested that I try the Wilder Mind gin. Obviously, I had to comply and try the gin Paul Brusdeilins distils after building quite the resume with other gins.
One Bottle One Drink – Doctor Cocktail
Well, I recently wondered which cocktail I should mix to celebrate me getting my PhD? Obviously, there really one was one choice – the Doctor Cocktail. Especially if you have some homemade Swedish Punch at hand.
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 […]
Home Bar Awards 09/22 – Picture of Health
September’s Home Bar Awards challenge is about vegetables as cocktail ingredients. Obviously, I had to get some of my vegetable eau de vies out for this! In the end, the result was a umami laced Harvard Cocktail variation.
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.
Challengers – Giffard Passionfruit
The combination of passion fruit and vanilla is a great one – exhibit A: the P***star Martini. However, you can also easily use the flavours in a sour style cocktail like Empire Brick of Gin did. Basically, I just made a riff on the original recipe, but used a split of base spirits. At least […]
Multiple Choice – Evan Williams BiB
I guess I have to thank my friend Serge from Hungry Thirsty Bored yet again for introducing me to “micro batching” syrups. While I already made smaller amounts of around 100 ml each time, through his suggestion I cut that amount in half. This has the clear advantage of using up the syrup pretty quickly. […]
