Remixed! – Eeyore’s Requiem
The Eeyore’s Requiem by Toby Maloney really is a cocktail for expert level Negroni drinkers. Since I cannot get enough of bitter cocktails, I had to try it in my Remixed! series.

Tropical Month ’25: Mango Negroni
At the beginning of February, Joerg Meyer wrote about the Mango Negroni on his 7cl Business blog. Since, I was planning a tropical party anyway, I thought I give it a go.
Old Team – Compass Box Crimson Cask
In fact, I wasn’t a big fan of the old sherry forward bottling ‘Story of the Spaniard’. Of course, it was not bad, but something was missing from it to make it special. Yet, the new Crimson Cask makes totally up for it! On top of that, I decided to mix a Black Manhattan variation […]
Green Aisles – Laphroaig Cask Lore
A friend recommended the Laphroaig Lore years ago. Yet, I only managed to review it just now. Obviously, this new The Cask Lore version is a single malt for sipping neat. However, I could not resist coming up with a cocktail recipe anyway.
Remixed! – A Moment of Silence
The A Moment of Silence from Maks Pazuniak – inventor of the Angostura Sour – also uses a whopping amount of bitters. To be honest, I am not the biggest fan of that. Yet, I could not resist to try this crazy combination.
Negroni Week 2024 – Cardinal
For this recipe, I started with a Gin & It variation. Yet, I added a bit of Italian red bitter to the recipe and this basically took the drink in another direction entirely. So, I just embraced the Negroni (Cardinale) spirit.
Negroni Week 2024 – Mandarine Negroni
This post falls under the “Remixed!” category, because the recipe comes from Dennis Stein of Le Lion, Hamburg. They are selling a barrel aged version of it during Negroni Week. So, if you are in Hamburg check it out.
Claws, Pt. 1 – A Caçhaca Negroni
A break from all the wine and on with another Negroni variation. There are never enough of them! This one really is something for the discerning Negroni drinker and the Caçhaca fan.
King of Sweden – Agitator Chestnut Barrel
There are a lot of new whisky distilleries out there which are doing something different. Yet, the combination of vaccum distillation and chestnut barrel ageing at least was new to me.
Obscure Ingredients – Borsci Elisir
The initial idea for this drink came from Amor Y Amargo bartender Bruce Shultz. On our honeymoon in 2022 I asked him what he uses the Borsci Elisir for. He replied that he uses it in Rum Manhattans, so this is what I did, too.
