10th Anniversary – The Other Way
This is the first drink I ever posted to Augustine-Bar.de. Obviously, I had to revisit it for the 10th anniversary of my blog. If you take part in the giveaway on Instagram, you have the chance to remix it, too.

Distillery Visit – Reisetbauer Qualitaetsbrand
I always love to combine my travels with distillery visits. This time on our way to Vienna, we visited one of my favourite eau de vie distilleries – Reisetbauer. To make things short, the Reisetbauer distillery is well worth a visit!
The Ultimate Eau de Vie Glasses Guide II
It’s been a while since I tried different glasses for eau de vies. So, here is an update on which glass works for which fruit spirit. I tried eighteen different glasses with six different eau de vies. All in all, there were some surprises, but also some obvious discoveries.
A Christmassy Drink – Northern Lights
Just a quick recipe for St. Nick’s and the start of a few more festive cocktails here on the blog. In this case, I created the recipe for some tasty homemade pecan butter fat-washed bourbon.
Soundtrack my Friends Drink – Nowhere Inn
I am really excited to take part in Sound Track My Drink’s #SoundtrackMyFriendsDrink for the first time. This time it is all about movie and tv show soundtracks. So, I got @Drink_lv pick, St. Vincent’s Nowhere Inn as a song. I was more than happy to come up with a drink for that song / […]
Dry January – Youth

I guess it is kind of a new trend to come up with cake or dessert flavoured liqueurs. In this case, I got a surprise sample of apple strudel liqueur from the Tinnauer Distillery. Inspired by a drink from Cocktailbart, I decided to mix up an apple flavoured sour style cocktail.
Wicked Gil – Gölles Alfred Rosso Wermut
Today it is time for a vermouth review again. I already featured the Semi-Dry Gölles Wermut here on the blog. Now, Alois Gölles and Manfred Tement also created a red version. I was instantly intrigued because I primarily use this style of fortified wine in cocktails. On top of that, I already had a bunch […]
Garden of Elysian – Florian Gin
For my second Home Bar Awards drink this month, I again used apples and gin. However, in contrast to my first cocktail using local ingredients, the drink turned out quite fruity. On the one hand this was due to the different apple flavours I added to the mix, but on the other hand I also […]
High Hopes – Hertl Der Hopfen-Gin
So, this month’s Home Bar Awards theme are “local ingredients”. Since, this is a topic close to my heart, I decided to come up with drinks with as many local ingredients as possible. Of course, this ruled out using citrus fruits for acidity. However, through the folks from Das Schwarze Schaf Bar in Bamberg I […]
