Liqourice Whisky Sour

Holiday Drinks – Wine, whisky and beer
This summer holiday we went to the Westcoast of Denmark for a change. I chose a few different half size wine bottles and we bought a variety of beers. Especially the non-alcoholic beers were great.
Artist’s Special – Element R/1.0
As you will know from my recent article on Irish whiskey tasting, I am a big fan of the country and its whiskey in particular. Fortunately, Kirsch Whisky provided me with their relatively new Element Fusion Series R/1.0.
Hazy Image – Farthofer Emmer Whisky
It has been a long time since I featured Farthofer Whisky on my blog. Yet, way back when I did enjoy them very much. Now I am happy to feature another bottle here. Additionally, I also managed to remix the winning cocktail of the ‘Whisky category’ from the “Made in GSA” cocktail competition.

St. Patrick’s Day 2026 – Kicking Around
In my opinion, the Cameron’s Kick cocktail probably is the most underrated Irish Whiskey cocktail. However, the combination with Scotch, lemon and orgeat just works! In this case, I decided to use the Old Comber Blended Irish Whiskey and added a bit extra.
St. Patrick’s Day 2026 – Fairlies
Bushmills is the oldest, licenced whiskey distillery in the world and this year they are doing a lot of events around St. Patrick’s Day. I thought I would give the 14-year-old bottling a go neat and in a cocktail. Basically, I came up with an Old-Fashioned variation with a bit of extra sherry.
