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.

Pantsy Waltz – Weyermann Doppelwacholder
What should you mix, when you have a juniper spirit on hand? Obviously, I had to come up with a Hanky Panky variation. Especially, when I also had a herbal liqueur from the same distillery on hand.
Tropical Month 2024 – Gold Canary
Yes, I know, this article is about another Jungle Bird variation. I just cannot help it, this is where my mind goes when I think about cocktails inspired by bird related songs. Yet, to differentiate the recipe more from my other version this tropical month, I turned this one into a milk punch.
Tropical Month 2024 – Turnbuckle
I have to admit that I regularly neglect to remix interesting recipes. The reason for that is that I have a long backlog of already mixed drinks and an even longer one of recipe ideas. Yet, with the ‘Turnbuckle’ I managed to make the cocktail almost as soon as I discovered the recipe.
In Birdsong – Spiritus Rex Rowan
So, I realized that I had some Spiritus Rex eau de vies on hand which I did not present so far. The 10th anniversary of my blog coming up gave me the perfect excuse to present them. This article features the most common one of the three wild fruit eau de vies.
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.
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…
Summer Please – Normindia Pamplemousse Gin
Yes, it is another new gin and yes summer is almost over. However, this does not mean that you could not sip a summery gin highball. In this case, I came up with a grapefruit forward Negroni style highball.
Slow Cruel Hands of Time – SR Sylvestris
I still have eau de vies from Matthias Sievert to present to you. This time, it is all about sloe berries and a eau de vie distilled from them. For a drink I choose a weird recipe containing calvados and a German Amaro.
Magic Arrow – Tassilo Buckwheat Whisky
I thought long and hard on what to mix with Buckwheat whisky. First, I came up with a Blood & Sand variation. However, I also consulted my Flavor Bible and additionally found a great recipe to base my creation on.
