Trick or Treaquila – Torquay
It is spooky season and this means “scary” cocktails! So, for a challenge on Facebook I came up with a seasonal Tequila Sour variation. It is not that scary, but there are fireworks!
Tequila Drinks
Child Prodigy – Cava de Oro Plata
I thought I would make it a hat trick and write about the third tequila drink in a row. This time it is all about a great blanco tequila in combination with White Negroni variation. With a little extra in the form of a strawberry pepper bitters.
Troubled Mind – Villa Lobos Blanco 55 %
The next drink I want to present to you comes from my long list of cocktail ideas. Every time a flavour combination pops into my head, I write it down. So, there is a list of 200+ cocktails I could try. To lower the amount of cocktails on that list, I started going through it […]
Figure 8 – Spiritus Rex Montana Nera
You know what they say: Better late than never! However, this time I am over half a year late. Nevertheless, I am presenting a rather special Margarita variation to you. Basically, it is a Fig Margarita, but the fruitiness comes from a fig eau de vie and some fig liqueur.
Cornflakes Infused Milk Punch – Magdalene
With our wedding on the way, it is hard for me to find time for writing. Nevertheless, I want to share this short article on a tequila milk punch with you. The special thing about it is that I also added some flavour to the milk. Let us see how the drink turned out!
Challengers – Giffard Passionfruit
The combination of passion fruit and vanilla is a great one – exhibit A: the P***star Martini. However, you can also easily use the flavours in a sour style cocktail like Empire Brick of Gin did. Basically, I just made a riff on the original recipe, but used a split of base spirits. At least […]
Sighs & Sympathy – Lavendelgut Lavendellikör
There are not a lot of ways to incorporate lavender into a cocktail. Besides using lavender syrup, or a lavender infusion, I went for a lavender liqueur. However, I also had to come up with a suitable drink for it. In the end, I went for a Last Word variation.
Beergarita – Gänstaller Amarillo Beer
The “Amarillo” was the next beer I tried from the Gänstaller Braumanufaktur. This double beer is inspired by Bamberg’s bock beer and uses Amarillo hops. Since, the flavour profile reminded me a bit of exotic fruits, I decided to mix up a Beergarita with it.
Miles from the Sea – Topanito Blanco
Today is Cinco de Mayo and I was asked to create cocktails with tequila and Mezcal from Topanito. So, this is exactly what I did. My initial idea was a deconstructed Paloma cocktail which coincidentally also ended up crystal clear. On top of that, I am also presenting an umami laced Mezcal cocktail to you.
Hey Rosey – Rooster Rojo Blanco
I do not know how many people have heard of the Rosita cocktail. This rather uncommon tequila cocktail basically is a Perfect Negroni with a combination of dry and sweet vermouth. So, to change that I decided to make a twist on this great drink! On top of that, I am presenting a very good […]
