The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I thought I would make it a hat trick and write about the third tequila drink in a row. This time it is all about a great blanco tequila in combination with White Negroni variation. With a little extra in the form of a strawberry pepper bitters.
The next drink I want to present to you comes from my long list of cocktail ideas. Every time a flavour combination pops into my head, I write it down. So, there is a list of 200+ cocktails I could try. To lower the amount of cocktails on that list, I started going through it […]
With our wedding on the way, it is hard for me to find time for writing. Nevertheless, I want to share this short article on a tequila milk punch with you. The special thing about it is that I also added some flavour to the milk. Let us see how the drink turned out!
Pastis is quite the underappreciated ingredient. 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 […]
There are not a lot of ways to incorporate lavender into a cocktail. Besides using lavender syrup, or a lavender infusion, I went for a lavender liqueur. However, I also had to come up with a suitable drink for it. In the end, I went for a Last Word variation.
Of course, the Mojito needs no introduction. However, it is not so easy to make a really good one. When I got my hands on the Ramero Rum from the folks behind Heimat Gin, I just had to try the famous Cuban highball. So, I got some mint from the balcony and mixed up a […]
There is a great trend for German distillers to produce their own rum. Yet, who says you have to distil it yourself? The folks behind Heimat Gin decided to use rum distilled in Guyana, for ageing and finishing in Germany. Since I am always looking for great blanco rums, I was eager to try the […]
The “Amarillo” was the next beer I tried from the Gänstaller Braumanufaktur. This double beer is inspired by Bamberg’s bock beer and uses Amarillo hops. Since, the flavour profile reminded me a bit of exotic fruits, I decided to mix up a Beergarita with it.
You probably noticed that this Tropical Month I am very focused on the Jungle Bird cocktail. I guess this is due to the fact that it combines Negroni-notes with tropical flavours. However, today I guess the drink tends more towards a “bittered” Mai Tai. Furthermore, I used a high-ester rum which was forever on my […]
Yes, this recipe hast not written “tropical” all over it. Yet, the flavour combination does remind me of an exotic drink. On top of that, the cocktail just seemed perfect for this month’s Home Bar Awards challenge – “stirred Tiki”. Be warned however, the recipe calls for some work in advance!
