The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I guess I have to thank my friend Serge from Hungry Thirsty Bored yet again for introducing me to “micro batching” syrups. While I already made smaller amounts of around 100 ml each time, through his suggestion I cut that amount in half. This has the clear advantage of using up the syrup pretty quickly. […]
The first regular Home Bar Awards Challenge in 2022 is about Ramos Gin Fizz Reels. – I have to admit that I am rarely mixing a Ramos Gin Fizz, not because I do not like them, but because they are quite labour intensive. Nevertheless, I came up with a variation inspired by exotic spices.
You know how it is, you have great cocktail ideas, but you cannot try them all! At the same time, when you do it happens that you get not to write about them. However, inspired by Torben from Empirebrick of Gin, I decided to publish some of them anyway. (It seems like I was quite […]
When I tried the Mondino Senza in 2021, it won me over completely. Its natural taste combined with organic ingredients is just a perfect non-alcoholic ingredient for Spritzes and cocktails. So, for the Dry January 2022, I thought I come up with a few different recipes featuring it.
Even though roses are not considered quite manly, I like their elegant floral flavour. The important thing is that the rose note does not overwhelm the drinking experience. Nevertheless, I want to talk about a rose eau de vie today. Manuel Engel distils a rose spirit from Bulgarian Damaszener roses, and I was looking forward […]
The third bottling of gin from the Kyoto Distillery highlights a special botanical also used in the other gins. Obviously, we are talking about green tea. Japanese culture and green tea have a deeply rooted connection and the Ki No Tea reflects that. Of course, this also means that I had to come up with […]
Today I am presenting two different drinks to you. First, a cocktail by fellow Drinkstagramer Philipp using pisco and Italicus. However, besides that I am also showing you my version of the drink, I call the “Cedro Sour”. Instead of pisco, I used a Blanch Armagnac and of course I could not help myself, but […]
Of course, there are a lot of Amarettos out there. After all, it probably is the Italian liqueur. However, most of them are overpowered by marzipan notes. 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.
To keep up the resolution to write more about non-alcoholic cocktails, I am presenting another one to you today. Besides a rather unusual tea it is also a bit more labour-intensive and requires making a bergamot cordial yourself. However, the cordial is well worth the effort. Obviously, it does not only work well in cocktails […]
