The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
The second instalment of this years Tiki month is also based on another classic Tiki cocktail, the Zombie! There is no better drink suited for a new overproof rum than this deadly and iconic Don the Beachcomber drink! The rum itself, the Plantation O.F.T.D. is the newest addition to the diverse line up of Plantation […]
It’s February and this means that it is Tiki month again! In this proud tradition I present to you a month full of exotic, Polynesian-style cocktails. Of course, this also means a lot of rum, spices and extraordinary liqueurs. The opening cocktail for this year’s Tiki month is a classic Rum Barrel. However, I took […]
A few weeks ago I already featured the Gin’Ca Gin made by the Inca Distillery from Peru. Yet, they not just created one new gin, instead they also made a second edition called Amazonian Gin Company. This second bottling takes its inspiration from the Amazonian jungle and with ingredients that do not even have names […]
The Plantation Stiggins Fancy Pineapple Rum might just be the first rum created after a fictional character! The inspiration for this special kind of rum was the favourite drink of Reverend Stiggins from Charles Dicken’s Pickwick Papers. While the name alone awakes the desire to mix up a Piña Colada, it probably is way better […]
Following last week’s crazy Tiki adventure the cocktail I want to present to you now is quite different, but still very intriguing! This time the name is more than just the title of a song, instead it is also a hint for the Nordic ingredients used in the recipe. Ingredients from the North in a […]

Sometimes you are not really looking for a new recipe when you get hit by a flash of inspiration! Ok, I admit while browsing through the Starchefs photo gallery I often cannot help myself, but to create a new cocktail… Still, this time it only took one ingredient to get my attention: Peanuts!
Probably everyone who enjoys the occasional rum will know the Plantation rum range. However, every now and then they manage to sneak in a new bottle of rum under my radar. This was exactly the case with the new and limited Plantation Black Cask 1951. Just like Johnny Cash’s version of the theme song from […]
Similar to last week’s article on the Tesla Sljivo this one is about another new German spirit start-up. The Revolte Rum is distilled in Worms and wants to break with some of the conventions we associate with rum. Apart from being a completely different kind of spirit, the Revolte Rum has another thing in common […]
This is another Tiki drink without any rum. However, what it lacks in rum, it makes up for in more than one way! I don’t even know where to start: it is a complex composition of brandy, sherry and melons. Yes you have read correctly: melons and they are not even the best part! So, […]
