The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I guess it is a condition of every cocktail maniac to stockpile cocktail books. Yet, I almost never remix recipes from them. Since I vowed to change that, I am writing about Death & Co’s Oaxacan Old-Fashioned. On top of that, I am staying true to newly created ‘Agave Month’!
After tropical month, it is time to shift the focus on something else. Therefore, I decided to make March ‘agave month’. What better way to start than by mixing up a delicious and unique margarita variation? This cocktail uses reposado tequila, along with a spicy tequila infusion, as well as mandarin Curaçao.
Usually, I am pretty savvy when it comes to classic cocktails. On top of that, I also know a fair share of obscure ingredients. However, until last year I had never heard about Fassionola and that it was used in the “original” Hurricane cocktail! Yet, this gave me the perfect excuse to try the first […]
Great minds think alike: Some time ago, my namesake Instagram buddy Matthias Tetaert came up with a Mandarin Mai Tai variation. So, I thought I would start Tropical Month 2023 with the recipe I came up with around the same time. On top of that, I also had an excellent mandarin liqueur I want to […]
Let us start with Dry January. I have a non-alcoholic cocktail forn you that is great for celebrating. It uses a great, high-quality non-alcoholic pear Cidre and an excellent Rooibos tea.
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.
It has been a long time since I made an Old-Fashioned variation. So, I thought I give it a try when reviewing a barrel aged walnut eau de vie. On top of that, I also have a great value-for-money rum from Barbados.
To be honest, I am not a big fan of spiced or flavoured rum. Still, I am reviewing a bottle for you and came up with a great cocktail using it. On top of that, this honey and orange flavoured rum based spirit has quite the background story.
Single Malt from Germany already is quite normal, but rye and other US style whiskeys are a bit of a novelty. I already featured the Stork Club rye whiskey here on the blog. However, Florian Faude is new to the game. So, I thought I put both distilleries head to head!
Here is a drink with a new rum from Drinksyndikat. Actually, the rum itself is not at all new, but instead was marked by Wagemut before. Drinksyndikat basically adopted the recipe from Nicolas Kroeger. For the cocktail I went for a Paper Plane variation.
