The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
On with Tropical Month 2023, the ‘Devil Like Me’ is a variation of another drink I created in 2017. The ‘Balthazar Impresario’ is a rare tropical cocktail that uses vermouth. On top of that, both drinks show my love for blood oranges.
Great minds think alike: Some time ago, my namesake Instagram buddy Matthias Tetaert came up with a Mandarin Mai Tai variation. So, I thought I would start Tropical Month 2023 with the recipe I came up with around the same time. On top of that, I also had an excellent mandarin liqueur I want to […]
When you are looking for whiskey drinks you often just think about Boulevardier or Manhattan variations. However, another great, but unusual source of inspiration is the Godfather.

In the case of the Adriatico Roasted Almond, things look a bit different. This modern approach to amaretto only uses natural ingredients and less sugar than others.
I am continuing mixing with a liqueur I overlooked so far. Wrongly I attributed Amaretto with cloyingly sweet cocktails in the style of SoCo, Amaretto, Lime. In this case, I made I French Connection variation with a great cognac I came to appreciate some years ago. On top of that, the drink also features a […]
As mentioned in the article on the Red Dust cocktail, Plantation Rum has a new philosophy, when it comes to providing information about their rum. This is also the case with this rum from a rather unusual island. It comes from Fiji, an island only known by experts for its excellent rum. Apart from that, […]
Since a few years, there is a clear Amaro trend in US bars. However, as with a lot of “trends”, e.g. tequila, it seemed for quite some time that it would not gain a foothold here in Germany. Yet, some producers are trying to change that! One of them is the Italian grappa producer Nardini.
