The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
When I tried the Mondino Senza in 2021, it won me over completely. Its natural taste combined with organic ingredients is just a perfect non-alcoholic ingredient for Spritzes and cocktails. So, for the Dry January 2022, I thought I come up with a few different recipes featuring it.
I am very happy to have won a Home Bar Awards challenge in 2021. This means that I am now able to compete in the Final competition of 2021. As in 2020, Sother Teague joins as a judge. So, I had to create a cocktail using Fernet, but also Amor Y Amargo style.
The third cocktail in this little series on non-alcoholic tea drinks, is a daring Penicillin variation. You see, I love Lapsang Souchong tea which is heavily smoked. So, I figured it would be the perfect base for recreating the smoky and ginger as well as honey flavoured whisky cocktail. On top of that, I also […]
The Cameron’s Kick is a cocktail I unfortunately disregarded so far. Somehow, I thought of it as a “dressed-up” Whiskey Sour. However, when I reviewed the Busker Irish Whiskey a few weeks back, I mixed up a variation of this classic cocktail. I was in for quite a surprise! Although I added a bit of […]
I am always keen on trying new American Whiskeys. So, when Perola added the new George Remus Bourbon to their portfolio, I just had to try it. This bootlegger inspired whiskey from Indiana really sounds very promising to try in cocktails! So, I came up with a Bourbon Sour cocktail suitable for the colder days […]
I guess everybody who grows their own basil knows that at some point it will blossom. Even when I am trying to cut the blossoms to get more leaves, at some point I forget and then the blossoms explode. Well, what you can do is pick them and make a syrup out of them. So, […]
The Raspberry – Thyme Smash is a perfect drink for hot summer days. So, since the thyme on the balcony grows exuberantly and it is raspberry season, I decided to give two gins a go in it. On the one hand, the B My Gin was the obvious choice since it always reminds me of […]
I already reviewed quite a few bottles from Douglas Laing’s Regional Malts series. The standard expressions are a great way of tasting the different styles and regions of Scottish malts. However, there is even more to discover! Douglas Laing also releases special versions of the blended Scotch whiskies. Today, I am taking a closer look […]
There is hardly a spirits category that I have neglected here on the blog as much as Cachaça. I cannot even tell you why, because I do regard the sugarcane spirit from Brazil as very interesting. Nevertheless, this article is here to change that! Despite an excellent Cachaça I am also presenting a very summery […]
Well, today is St. Patrick’s Day! While I do not have a green drink on hand, I at least can tell you about an Irish Whiskey. Teeling Whiskey is very dear to me, not only because I enjoy their bottlings very much, but also because we visited their distillery in Dublin in 2019. In this […]
