The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
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. Nevertheless, the trend of using Amaros in cocktails does not stop at Tiki drinks. Yet, what happens when you use three of them in one recipe? You definitely need something […]
Of course, 2020 also has a Tiki Month and we want to start it off with a rather typical Tiki drink. Although, I have created a fair share of non-rum based Tiki drinks, it is also fun to get inspired by classic Tiki cocktails. This time it is all about a Missionary’s Downfall cocktail variation. […]
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?
Finally, towards the end of this year’s Tiki month there is some rum! However, instead of creating a completely new recipe, I decided to recycle one of my oldest creations, the Plantation Coffee. In the original article I suggested a mix of white Cuban rum and Jamaican rum. Yet, going back to the real roots […]
Three weeks into the Tiki month and still no rum! I know it sounds like I am doing this on purpose, but I promise you it is just a coincident, that all the drinks I came up with this year use other ingredients besides rum! This time we will ponder over the question if there […]
Keeping the non-rum-theme for another week during Tiki month, I am presenting to you the Palms cocktail using – Palms Arrak. What might seem like an uninspired cocktail name, actually is another one of my musical references. Apart from that, you also have to keep in mind, that we are not talking about a Batavia […]
