The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
In these difficult times, you have to support small businesses. In the gastronomy sector especially bars are in dire need of a source of revenue. So, if you have a favourite bar, go ahead and buy something from them. In my case, I ordered drinks from the Schwarzes Schaf in Bamberg and the Seiberts Bar […]
Usually I mix Tiki drinks in February during Tiki Month. However, if you have a special rum to review it just comes natural to create a Tiki style cocktail. Especially, when a cinnamon eau de vie also stands around. Let us find out, how the El Salvadorian rum pairs with cinnamon, pears and mango for […]
A lot of Tiki drinks use fire. However, it does not do the trick to just pour 151 rum over a sugar cube. For a real Tiki-fire you need a secret ingredient. On top of that, I decided to come up with a Vulcano Bowl style drink using rum and cognac. It basically means that […]
It is week three in the Tiki month and we will stick to Tiki drinks with Amaros for a little while longer. As mentioned in the last article the Jungle Bird is a Tiki classic using Campari. However, the drink is a great base for cocktail variations. Especially when you have a new rum on […]
Tiki drinks have to be a little crazy, but when it comes to bitter ingredients you mostly find Angostura Bitters or Campari in historic recipes.

It is en vogue to distil a rum in Austria or Germany. Therefore, it is no surprise that David Gölles also has a go at the this sugarcane spirit. However, as always with David’s products he does not stop until his rum is the highest quality possible. Inspired by that I came up with a […]
For the last drink in this year’s Tiki month (Yes, I know I am a little bit too late) I decided to revisit an old favourite of mine. The Doctor Cocktail is a great drink using Swedish Punsch. So, I brewed up a batch of Swedish Punch and got to mixing. I ended up with […]
After the short detour from Tiki month with last weeks Finest Spirits article, we are back to Tiki drinks. This time I built the “New Waves” cocktail around a mango purée my sister brought back from El Salvador. While I had a few ideas on my end, I decided to again use the Foodpairing website. […]
For the beginning of this years Tiki month, I thought I start with a variation of the Jungle Bird cocktail. This slightly unusual Tiki drink pairs fruity pineapple with bitter Campari. However, who said that you can only use dark rum in this cocktail?
