Counterglow – Nikka Days
Summer is the perfect time for sipping light and refreshing highballs. And what better way to enjoy those evenings than with a combination of light Japanese whisky with melon, sake and matcha?

The Home Bar Awards challenge for Mai 2023 was to create a bourbon ‘Session’ drink for the summer. This time, the competition was supported by Basil Hayden’s. After a little research, I came up with a simple recipe which takes a little bit more effort during preparation.
We stay a little bit longer on the topic of American Whiskey. In this case, I am presenting a ‘wheated’ bourbon to you. What better way of using it in a cocktail than to combine it with some stone fruit flavours and make a Cameron’s Kick?!
I wanted to mix this drink since our US trip last year. It was inspired by the 1919 cocktail created at Drink, Boston. However, I changed a few things and used a great bourbon I brought back from the States as a base spirit.
Yes, I know March is over, but I still have one more agave cocktail to go. In this case, I came up with a split base cocktail using tequila and rye. On top of that, I also threw in the rather unusual Parfait Amour. So, I guess you could call it a distant relative of […]

Just a quick recipe for St. Nick’s and the start of a few more festive cocktails here on the blog. In this case, I created the recipe for some tasty homemade pecan butter fat-washed bourbon.
Single Malt from Germany already is quite normal, but rye and other US style whiskeys are a bit of a novelty. I already featured the Stork Club rye whiskey here on the blog. However, Florian Faude is new to the game. So, I thought I put both distilleries head to head!
The November challenge for the Homebar Awards is all about Sherry Cobblers! Especially, when from 7th to 11th of November it is sherry week. I was quite happy with this rather underrated drink and not just because I have a number of open bottles. So, I went for an even more underrated sherry – Palo […]
