Pyres – Planteray Cut & Dry
Usually, I would stay clear of coconut rum. Yet, when it comes from Ferrand / Planteray you know that has a high quality and you must try it! In this case, I went for the obvious pairing with pineapple.

Agave Month 2024 – Valle Local
For the start of Agave Month 2024, I have something special for you. On one hand, the drink has mezcal as a base and on the other hand a green mandarin eau de vie. On top of that, the recipe is based on the Last Word cocktail.
Blood Bank – Turntable Spirits No. 1
Probably, this is the last post of 2023. Luckily, I have a new whisky on hand which seems perfect for that occasion. For a drink, I went for a Blood & Sand variation. However, there is no orange juice left in the recipe.
Spirited News 02/2023: Spiritus Rex
In this post, I am wrapping up the last two spirits from the last care package from Matthias Sievert and Spiritus Rex. Matthias distils both spirits from rare wild fruits. Which turned out to be the highlight of this years spirits.
The Wild Mecury – Satoshi Cuvée
Sometimes there goes a lot of thought into my recipes. Some other time the drink starts with its title and I create a suitable cocktail for the song / music reference. Yet, in this case, I started with two ingredients which were coincidentally standing around in my living room at the same time.
Go to Hell – Papadiablo Espadin
I guess it is a bit late to post watermelon cocktails. However, when I made the drink back in September there were still tropical temperatures out there. So, this might just serve as a reminder of the next, overly hot summer to come!
Wicked Soul – Contratto Fernet
I do love Amaros, so I am very happy to try out a new Fernet. On top of that, I had an atypical vermouth to sample as well. So, I came up with a weird drink featuring both – and Träkal…
Flourish and a Spoil – Merwut Vermouth
When I came up with my drink for Negroni Week 2023, I also created an Americano version. Similar to my ‘Into the Red’ I used pinot noir sparkling wine in the drink. This resulted in a sparkling, but also still quite refreshing drink.
Into the Red – Barth Pinot
I am always late to the party. In this case, I missed Negroni week with my second post which I especially prepared for this occasion. I made a Negroni variation I had in mind for a long time now. Well, better late than never!
Potion Approaching – Bozal Ensamble
This is the second White Negroni variation in a short time. However, I cannot remember that I ever made a Mezcal Negroni variation. So, to change that, I came up with this aloe enhanced recipe.
