I Appear Missing – Pomatium Gin
The Pomatium Gin comes from the Domaine du Coquerel which usually produces Calvados. Since, it is apple and pear flavoured, it seemed like a perfect fit to pair with a lilac syrup.

A Nordic Blueberry Sour – I’ve Been Dazed
I got a long backlog of drinks I did not get around to write about. However, the list of cocktail ideas is even longer. Well, this time I am presenting an absolutely delicious cocktail to you. However, I do not really recall what the motivation behind it was.
Homebar Awards 11/22 – Black Crow
The November challenge for the Homebar Awards is all about Sherry Cobblers! Especially, when from 7th to 11th of November it is sherry week. I was quite happy with this rather underrated drink and not just because I have a number of open bottles. So, I went for an even more underrated sherry – Palo […]
OBOD – Ad Libitum
On our honeymoon, we visited the Amor Y Amargo Bar and had a wonderful evening. It left a lasting impression on me. Ever since I want more Amaros and more bitters in my homebar. Apart from that, I tried to recreated a drink the barkeeper tailor-made for me. It might not be the same drink, […]
Blue Hours – Michter’s Sour Mash
As a roundup of our lates American Whiskey tasting, I decided to mix cocktails with at least some of the whiskeys in the tasting. The start of this little series marks a drink inspired by the local cuisine of the Northeast. All of that resulted in a kind of Old-Fashioned variation using the Michter’s Sour […]
Sunday Walker – The Busker Irish Whiskey
There are a few exceptional drinks, which I mix far too rarely. The “Beauregard’s Breakfast” definitely falls into that category. Apart from that, I had a new Irish Whiskey as well as an Amaro to review and a homemade blueberry preserves from my mother-in-law. So, it was the obvious choice to come up with a […]
Berkley Bridge – Brockman’s Gin
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. Furthermore, instead of adding complementary flavours, I played heavily on the Brockman’s Gin proprietary berry notes. While I am quite pleased […]
One Bottle One Drink – Blue Splinter View
While I spend some time experimenting with room-temperature cocktails, I never thought about replacing the water / ice in a cocktail. Nevertheless, for this month’s Home Bar Awards challenge “Hell No H2O” I needed to come up with a replacement for it. So, I took a drink I wanted to mix for almost half a […]
Blue Honey – Lantenhammer Heidelbeer Liqueur
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!
Time Of The Blue – Maker’s Mark 46
Today I want to take a look at nothing less than a bourbon icon! Maker’s Mark with its red wax seal on the bottle neck was, and still is, the favourite of many bourbon drinkers. However, since a few years there is a new version out there and since a few months it is regularly […]
