Unbottled – Riehen Le Petite Sauvignon Blanc
To be honest, this was the first Swiss wine I tried. Yet, it is an excellent starting point. We had this at Christmas with Raclette and it was a perfect match.

A Sparkling Wine Tasting
It took me more than a month to find the time to write about the latest tasting by our wine regular’s table. We chose the topic of German sparkling wines and of course I mixed in a little surprise.
Adeline – Axberg Vodka
The spirit category I neglect the most definitely is vodka. However, every time I do get a new one, I tend towards Vesper variations. Luckily, I also got my hands on a great grape marc spirit to pair the vodka with.
North End – Peerless Small Batch Bourbon
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.
May the 4th: Compass Box Synthesis
I thought I had to make a post for this year’s May 4th. What would be better suited than a limited, boutique Blended Scotch from Compass Box? Unfortunately, this also means that I am sticking to the theme of ‘no-longer-available-whisky’ then…
Bergamot Morning – Juniper Jack Smoke & Oak
So, I guess this is two for two now, because I have another gin to review. I really like the gins by Joerg Fiedler. One of his newer creations is the Smoke & Oak gin where he cleverly combined barrel aged gin with smoked Lapsang Souchong tea..
Oaxaca Old-Fashioned – El Tesoro Reposado
I guess it is a condition of every cocktail maniac to stockpile cocktail books. Yet, I almost never remix recipes from them. Since I vowed to change that, I am writing about Death & Co’s Oaxacan Old-Fashioned. On top of that, I am staying true to newly created ‘Agave Month’!
So Far, So Good – Compass Box Orchard House
I know it is Dry January, but here is a drink I already mixed up in December. On top of that, this is a great drink using Scotch whisky and a variation of another drink I made last year.
Day by Day – Scheibel Nussler
It has been a long time since I made an Old-Fashioned variation. So, I thought I give it a try when reviewing a barrel aged walnut eau de vie. On top of that, I also have a great value-for-money rum from Barbados.
Troubled Mind – Villa Lobos Blanco 55 %
The next drink I want to present to you comes from my long list of cocktail ideas. Every time a flavour combination pops into my head, I write it down. So, there is a list of 200+ cocktails I could try. To lower the amount of cocktails on that list, I started going through it […]
