So Far, So Good – Compass Box Orchard House
I know it is Dry January, but here is a drink I already mixed up in December. On top of that, this is a great drink using Scotch whisky and a variation of another drink I made last year.
Liqueur
One Bottle One Drink – Eggshells
Ferrand Spirits always sends out great Christmas presents. This year I got a stollen made with their rum. The logical thing to do was to pair it with an Eggnog. So, I based my recipe on the classic one I found at Jeffrey Morgenthaler’s blog and obviously used Plantation Rum in it.
A Christmassy Drink – Northern Lights
Just a quick recipe for St. Nick’s and the start of a few more festive cocktails here on the blog. In this case, I created the recipe for some tasty homemade pecan butter fat-washed bourbon.
Soundtrack my Friend’s Drink – STS
It is volume number 11 of Soundtrack my Friend’s Drink! This time Adam chose a partner who picked a song for us. While my song chosen by Shelby Mastro was not exactly what I like to hear, I still came up with a tasty drink for it.
Toronto Cocktail – Tempus Fugit Fernet
Until now, my favourite cocktail using Fernet was the Hanky Panky. While this still is a great one, a “new” contender arose – The Toronto Cocktail. Since I had a new Fernet on hand, I thought I would give it a try!
Redwings – Brocktober 2022
Every October, Brockman’s Gin proclaims Brocktober! This means that for every Brocktail sold 1 € is donated to aid German flood victims. On top of that, it is also a cocktail challenge and for each like Brockman’s donates 10 cents. Here is my entry which I based on red liquorice sweets from Denmark.
AB Rum Barrel ’22 – Chairman’s Legacy
Sometimes you have to revisit old drinks you created! In this case, I went back to my signature Augustine-Bar Rum Barrel recipe and gave it an update. Additionally, I can use the chance to present a rum from Saint Lucia to you!
Like Lions – Scheibel Marille
For my last drink in my small series on drinks with eau de vie from the Scheibel Distillery, I went for a Lion’s Tail variation. Apart from the addition of some Mirabell eau de vie, I stayed quite true to the original specs. So, let us see how this allspice laced cocktail turned out!
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 […]
Father’s Child – Pikesville Rye Whiskey
When you are looking for whiskey drinks you often just think about Boulevardier or Manhattan variations. However, another great, but unusual source of inspiration is the Godfather. Obviously, the drink can be too sweet, but if you balance it right you are in for an almond laced treat, just like this drink using the excellent […]
