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.

Tropical Month 2023 – Chartreuse
Yes, you could confuse this article with one only dedicated to the French liqueur coming from a monastery. Yet, in the article I also present a drink to you which is named after a Capital Cities song. Of course, the drink also includes Chartreuse…
Secret Santé – Different Speed
The mad Drinkstagrammer Matthias Soberon started a little thing called Secret Santé five years ago on Instagram. If you join, Matthias assigns you a fellow cocktail enthusiast for whom you create a drink in the spirit of secret Santa. It is my first time participating and I am very happy that I drew Slow Mixology […]
Sighs & Sympathy – Lavendelgut Lavendellikör
There are not a lot of ways to incorporate lavender into a cocktail. Besides using lavender syrup, or a lavender infusion, I went for a lavender liqueur. However, I also had to come up with a suitable drink for it. In the end, I went for a Last Word variation.
Jasmine Last Word – Jasmine Tea Gin
When it comes to gin cocktails, the Last Word is one of my favourites. There just is something deeply intriguing about the flavour combination of Chartreuse and Maraschino. Of course, when I made the jasmine tea infused Ki No Bi Gin, I also had to make a Last Word variation. Let us see how this […]
Modern World – Eversbusch Fasslagerung
On to the next, “new” Eversbusch Doppel-Wachholder. As mentioned in the article on the coffee infused juniper spirit, Peter Eversbusch is always experimenting with new products. This time he aged his Doppel-Wachholder in a mulberry wood barrel for five months. For a cocktail I combined the Eversbusch with a barrel aged herbal liqueur. Let us […]
Be Nobody – Niemand Dry Gin
The Niemand Gin’s rose bottle already caught my eye a few years ago. However, I never got around to try it until now. So, to change that we are taking a closer look at the sandalwood forward gin today. Besides the obligatory Gin & Tonic, I had the feeling that the gin would be great […]
Crowhurst’s Meme – Benguela Diamonds Gin
As with the B My Gin, I also am revisiting the Benguela Diamonds Gin. This South African inspired gin shows a great balance between juniper and New Western Style notes. On top of that, I was looking for a gin to use in a Beer-Negroni. While this drink might sound a bit weird, it turns […]
7 Bottles – Cappelletti Amaro Trentino
As mentioned with my article on the Hoos Sal Miakki, this month’s Home Bar Awards theme is “equal parts”. While I am presenting a specific Amaro to you today, I also want to talk about a specific drinks concept. “Maximalist cocktails” were at least to me new. Despite a few Tiki cocktails, I always thought […]
Dinosaurs – Sixty Six Cask Strength
Well, I missed the Secret Sante event on Instagram, but for the start of Tropical Month f.k.a. Tiki Month, I decided to still pay tribute to my namesake Matthias Soberon. It is just crazy how many beautiful cocktails he is putting out there every day. So, when Johann from Cocktailbart came up with a Chartreuse […]
