The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
When the folks from Gin de Cologne asked me if I wanted to try their new Mediterranean Gin, I gladly said yes. This version of their classic gin seemed perfect for refreshing summer drinks. Well, as it turns out, it was – although the creation is not for the faint hearted!
Well, I was quite busy in the last few weeks and creating and writing about cocktails definitely came too short. With a baby on the way and quite the workload on my regular job something just had to be paused. Yet, I still managed to come up with quite the delicious no ABV cocktail.
Here is a drink with a new rum from Drinksyndikat. Actually, the rum itself is not at all new, but instead was marked by Wagemut before. Drinksyndikat basically adopted the recipe from Nicolas Kroeger. For the cocktail I went for a Paper Plane variation.
Well, flavoured and coloured gins apparently are a thing now. I guess it is no wonder then, that Quarantini Gin also have their own version now. While I cannot say that I am a big fan of Pink Gins, I thought I still give this one a try. All in all, it really turned out […]
Obviously, other countries in Great Britain also produce whisky now, despite Scotland. However, until now I never had a Welsh whisky. In this case, I decided to come up with a Paper Plane variation using a salted Aperitif and bitters from Switzerland as well.
Brockman’s Gin claimed October as Brocktober where twenty Mixologists create cocktails and post them one after the other. So, today it is my turn and I decided to come up with a punch recipe.

Ever since absinthe is wildly available again, Pastis, the herbal liqueur created to replace the mysterious ingredient, has been ekes out a niche existence. Yet, apart from the two famous brands, high quality liqueurs exist with an excellent value for money. Of course, you have to be a fan […]
Contrary to some, who consider the Dry Martini as an Aperitif, I consider a good Aperitivo a low-ABV cocktail. When the drink also includes wine or beer, it is tempting to already sip them in the afternoon. However, even if you do not want to promote day drinking these light refreshers are also perfect for […]
The Paper Airplane already is a modern classic cocktail . So, when I got my hands on a new Italian Aperitivo, I wanted to come up with a variation. The Rinomato L’Aperitivo Decisio was clearly created to be used in Spritzes, however it also makes a great ingredient for Sam Ross’s drink.
While I only recently reviewed the regular Reisetbauer Blue Gin here on the blog, there now is another version on the market. In this case, the Reisetbauer Blue Gin Organic uses the same basic recipe of ist predecessor. Yet, it also comes with a special infusion of Reisetbauer Apple eau de vie. Therefore, I was […]
