The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
No, this drink does not contain vodka. In fact, it does not even contain a cocktail bitter. Instead, it shows how far a relatively simple combination can go. In this case, I built the whole drink around gentian liqueur as a base and topped it off with soda water.
If you ask me whether you should use expensive bottles of alcohol to make cocktails, my answer is definitely yes! Obviously, it depends on the drink you want to make, but all the other ingredients should be of the best possible quality too. In this case, I added some exotic flavours to the delicious For […]

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!
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.
