The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
This is probably the cocktail which I neglected the longest. I had the basic idea during Christmas time 2019. Now, two-and-a-quarter years later I finally got around to mix it and write about it. However, this also gives me the excuse to review a special port from Dow’s. On top of that, I also have […]
Sometimes when you discover a cocktail, it quickly inspires you to come up with your own version. This was the case with the Apple Bondage by Zach from All Equal Parts. While I did not have any Bottled in Bond spirits on hand, I replaced a few things here and there and in the end […]
Usually, I am missing such occasions / holidays like St. Patricks Day here – not deliberately, but by chance. However, this year is different, because I have a joker up my sleeve. I made a drink with a new (for me) Irish Whiskey a while back. So, is there a better excuse to share it […]
Sometimes when you start a series, it is a bit hard to see it through. At the same time, even if you are concentrating on one drink, the versions are endless. However, let us get back on track with our little series on Martinis.
Obviously, other countries in Great Britain also produce whisky now, despite Scotland. However, until now I never had a Welsh whisky. In this case, I decided to come up with a Paper Plane variation using a salted Aperitif and bitters from Switzerland as well.
It is Dry January I know and this year I am also taking a break from alcohol. However, I still have a few (alcoholic) spirits I tried last year I want to write about. So, in-between non-alcoholic beverages, you will find the occasional eau de vie or liqueur thrown in. In this case, I want […]
I have been more than lucky to try a great number of excellent spirits over the last year. So, in good tradition and the spirit of a “the year in review” I am sharing the ten best liquors of 2021 with you. Yes, I know as always I am too late to make this a […]
The Cameron’s Kick is a cocktail I unfortunately disregarded so far. Somehow, I thought of it as a “dressed-up” Whiskey Sour. However, when I reviewed the Busker Irish Whiskey a few weeks back, I mixed up a variation of this classic cocktail. I was in for quite a surprise! Although I added a bit of […]
I am always keen on trying new American Whiskeys. So, when Perola added the new George Remus Bourbon to their portfolio, I just had to try it. This bootlegger inspired whiskey from Indiana really sounds very promising to try in cocktails! So, I came up with a Bourbon Sour cocktail suitable for the colder days […]
There are a few exceptional drinks, which I mix far too rarely. The “Beauregard’s Breakfast” definitely falls into that category. Apart from that, I had a new Irish Whiskey as well as an Amaro to review and a homemade blueberry preserves from my mother-in-law. So, it was the obvious choice to come up with a […]
