The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I was wondering if you could turn the peculiar Arsenic And Old Lace cocktail into a tropical drink. While the Original is weird, its mix of ingredients is also very intriguing. So, I set to work and this is the delicious result!
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 no big secret that my favourite spirit category is eau de vies. Therefore, I am always happy when I am asked to come up with some eau de vie cocktails. In this case, the renowned Scheibel distillery send me some of their classic fruit spirits for mixing. So, let us start with the […]
Peter Eversbusch is a benchmark for the German juniper spirits scene. Not only does he continue the legacy of his family run distillery, but he also finds new and innovative ways to come up with new spirits. In this case, we take a look at Peter’s newest product the Jamaica rum barrel aged Wachholder.
I really enjoy sake, whether as a drink accompanying sushi, or mixed in Japanese-inspired cocktails. This is why I was very happy to have one a care-package by Akashi-Tai on my friend Serge’s page Hungry Thirsty Bored. Instantly, I came up with a sake based highball, which is light, but also very refreshing.
The Paper Airplane already is a modern classic cocktail . So, when I got my hands on a new Italian Aperitivo, I wanted to come up with a variation. The Rinomato L’Aperitivo Decisio was clearly created to be used in Spritzes, however it also makes a great ingredient for Sam Ross’s drink.
You might already know that I love apricots, especially eau de vies. Therefore, I am always keen on trying bottlings from other distillers. In this case, I got the chance to try the Mühle 4 Vinschger Marille which won silver at the 2018 Craft Spirits Awards. Furthermore, I came up with a floral cocktail using […]
On to the next, “new” Eversbusch Doppel-Wachholder. As mentioned in the article on the coffee infused juniper spirit, Peter Eversbusch is always experimenting with new products. This time he aged his Doppel-Wachholder in a mulberry wood barrel for five months. For a cocktail I combined the Eversbusch with a barrel aged herbal liqueur. Let us […]
I already featured the different Eversbusch Doppelwachholders here on the blog. However, Peter Eversbusch always is in search of new products. This time, he infused his regular juniper spirit with craft coffee from a local coffee roaster. Since I am always up for coffee flavoured spirits I was looking forward to trying it.
