Agave Month 2024 – Wrecking Ball
Well, you could call this a Magarita variation or a Agave White Negroni with lime… Whatever you want to call it. The drink really is delicious and a great addition for Agave Month 2024.

For the start of Agave Month 2024, I have something special for you. On one hand, the drink has mezcal as a base and on the other hand a green mandarin eau de vie. On top of that, the recipe is based on the Last Word cocktail.
I have to admit that I regularly neglect to remix interesting recipes. The reason for that is that I have a long backlog of already mixed drinks and an even longer one of recipe ideas. Yet, with the ‘Turnbuckle’ I managed to make the cocktail almost as soon as I discovered the recipe.
Tropical Month would not be complete without a Jungle Bird variation. In this case, I added more complexity through pineapple rum as well as a famous German herbal liqueur.
I came up with this drink during Tropical Month 2023, but did not came around to write about it. Since this was a great combination of flavours, I thought I just post it this year. However, this also means I am not completely sure how I got to the specific recipe.
Probably, this is the last post of 2023. Luckily, I have a new whisky on hand which seems perfect for that occasion. For a drink, I went for a Blood & Sand variation. However, there is no orange juice left in the recipe.
So, I realized that I had some Spiritus Rex eau de vies on hand which I did not present so far. The 10th anniversary of my blog coming up gave me the perfect excuse to present them. This article features the most common one of the three wild fruit eau de vies.
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.
I do love Amaros, so I am very happy to try out a new Fernet. On top of that, I had an atypical vermouth to sample as well. So, I came up with a weird drink featuring both – and Träkal…
It is always pure joy to take part in Adam’s Soundtrack My Friends Drink! This time we each had to come up with a shot. Another participant than chose a song to soundtrack the recipe.
