Agave Month ’25 – Autumn Version No. 1
The Autumn’s combination of tequila and sherry sounded too delicious not to try it. Especially, when there is also pear eau de vie involved. Yet, I made a slight error when remixing it.
Tequila Drinks
Agave Month ’25 – No Bullets Spent
I based the drink on the modern classic Negroni Bianco / White Negroni. Yet, I went for Reposado tequila as the base spirit. My changes did not stop there, but I also used a rather nerdy liqueur as well as a split wine base of port and Cocchi Americano.
Magnolia Trees – Satoshi Curaçao
Orange Curaçao is a staple of any cocktail or home bar. Yet, there are just a few high-quality ones out there. This new one comes from Satoshi combines orange eau de vie with Italian brandy and some sugar. I just had to try it in a Margarita variation.
Agave Month 2024 – Caldera
Even though I photographed a few cocktails before our move, I barely have time for anything else since. Yet, I still want to present to you this great agave-forward Old-Fashioned variation. It uses a combination of two tequilas which really adds a nice layer of complexity.
Potion Approaching – Bozal Ensamble
This is the second White Negroni variation in a short time. However, I cannot remember that I ever made a Mezcal Negroni variation. So, to change that, I came up with this aloe enhanced recipe.
Coyoacán – Pasote Añejo
I really enjoy agave spirits, especially tequila. However, when it comes to how often I mix drinks with them, they tend to fall behind. To change that, I came up with a Tequila Manhattan variation with cherry eau de vie as the supporting role.
Airplanes – Villa Lobos Reposado
Yes, I know March is over, but I still have one more agave cocktail to go. In this case, I came up with a split base cocktail using tequila and rye. On top of that, I also threw in the rather unusual Parfait Amour. So, I guess you could call it a distant relative of […]
Rancho Azul – Spiritus Rex Hystrix
I have been quite busy lately, so it was hard to keep up the pace of posting. Nevertheless, there is another drink in the spirit of agave month. It features a rather rare Makrut lime eau de vie from Matthias Sievert. On top of that, once again my friend Torben from Trinklaune and I collaborated […]
Oaxaca Old-Fashioned – El Tesoro Reposado
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’!
El Mirador – Pasote Reposado
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.
