Home Bar Awards ’25 – Like a Drug
It always was a blast participating in the Home Bar Awards challenges. I am very happy that Chris aka Cocktail Chris brought them back! The first quest of 2025 is all about classic sours, but without any citrus!

Tropical Month 2024 – AB Rum Punch
It might be an underrated tropical drink, but the Rum Punch does deserve a closer look. Therefore, I came up with my own version. I actually mixed this drink back in 2022. This means, I am diving deep into the recipe backlog here.
10th Anniversary – The Other Way
This is the first drink I ever posted to Augustine-Bar.de. Obviously, I had to revisit it for the 10th anniversary of my blog. If you take part in the giveaway on Instagram, you have the chance to remix it, too.
Go to Hell – Papadiablo Espadin
I guess it is a bit late to post watermelon cocktails. However, when I made the drink back in September there were still tropical temperatures out there. So, this might just serve as a reminder of the next, overly hot summer to come!
Time to Wander – Orca Brau Wanderlust

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 […]
Bitter Dancer – Eversbusch Jamaica Barrel
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.
One Bottle One Drink – All Dolled Up
Sometimes when you discover a cocktail, it quickly inspires you to come up with your own version. This was the case with the Apple Bondage by Zach from All Equal Parts. While I did not have any Bottled in Bond spirits on hand, I replaced a few things here and there and in the end […]
Old Ceremony – Chairman’s Reserve Vintage
I already reviewed some Chairman’s Reserve Rums on the blog. Therefore, I was quite happy to get the chance to review the vintage version, too. Additionally, the rum seemed perfect for a banana laced Old-Fashioned variation.
