Tropical Month ’25 – Mango Negroni
At the beginning of February, Joerg Meyer wrote about the Mango Negroni on his 7cl Business blog. Since, I was planning a tropical party anyway, I thought I give it a go.

Tropical Month – Pirate’s Penicillin
My good friend Sepo over at the Galumbi blog came up with this drink in 2019. Yes, it took me quite a while to reshake this cocktail. However, when I am not the only one with an obscure ingredient, I just have to do it eventually.
Tropical Month ’25 – Mai Tai
Ever since I got my hands on the Satoshi Curaçao, I wanted to mix up a Mai Tai with it. So, tropical month came as a welcome excuse to try it out. I can already reveal this much: It was a very tasty cocktail.
Remixed! – The Drunken Dodo
The Drunken Dodo was the cocktail I initially planned on mixing with the Plantation Trinidad Rum. It was on my ‘to mix’ list as long as I created a variation of it, I called ‘The Season’. So without further ado here it is!
Remixed! – From Soil to Smoke
Matthias and I not only share a first name, but also a passion for cocktails and spirits! Naturally, I had to remix one of his drinks. While it took me some time to find the perfect drink to showcase Matthias’ drink style, I am very happy with my choice. The From Soil to Smoke is […]
Deep Green – Drilling Pistachio Eau de Vie
I made a drink with homemade pistachio orgeat a while back. When chatting with Torben about it, he suggested a Mai Tai variation with white overproof white rum and pistachio eau de vie.
Tropical Month ’24 – Three Dots and a Dash
Let us end Tropical Month 2024 with a rather unknown tropical classic. Donn the Beachcomber created this drink which is named after the morse code for the letter ‘V’. This variation from Martin Cate of Smuggler’s Cove uses Vieux Rhum Agricole as a base spirit instead of just ‘gold rum’.
Tropical Month 2024 – Gold Canary
Yes, I know, this article is about another Jungle Bird variation. I just cannot help it, this is where my mind goes when I think about cocktails inspired by bird related songs. Yet, to differentiate the recipe more from my other version this tropical month, I turned this one into a milk punch.
Tropical Month 2024 – Turnbuckle
I have to admit that I regularly neglect to remix interesting recipes. The reason for that is that I have a long backlog of already mixed drinks and an even longer one of recipe ideas. Yet, with the ‘Turnbuckle’ I managed to make the cocktail almost as soon as I discovered the recipe.
Tropical Month 2024 – Big Bird
Tropical Month would not be complete without a Jungle Bird variation. In this case, I added more complexity through pineapple rum as well as a famous German herbal liqueur.
