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.

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 […]
Like Lions – Scheibel Marille
For my last drink in my small series on drinks with eau de vie from the Scheibel Distillery, I went for a Lion’s Tail variation. Apart from the addition of some Mirabell eau de vie, I stayed quite true to the original specs. So, let us see how this allspice laced cocktail turned out!
Shake me Down – Widow Jane 10 Years
On to the next drink in this little series on American Whiskey cocktails: This one features the Widow Jane Bourbon and I took inspiration from the classic Smash recipe. To be honest, I did not stray from the beaten path that far with this.
Isaac – Bib & Tucker Six-Year-Old
For the next drink in this series on American Whiskey cocktails, I made a Boulevardier variation. Additionally, I drew some inspiration from the White Negroni to come up with a kind of combination of the two drinks.
Soundtrack my Friends Drink – Nowhere Inn

An American Whiskey Tasting Part 2
On to the second part of our American whiskey tasting! This time the bourbon and ryes have all more than 55 % ABV. So, it was getting a bit hard to find all the flavours hiding beneath the alcohol that evening. Yet, we managed to come up with some halfway decent tasting notes.
An American Whiskey Tasting Part 1
To prepare for the our trip to the US, I organized an American Whiskey tasting with friends. However, because of our honeymoon, it took me that long to write up the results. All in all, we tried an American Whiskey, six bourbons and four rye whiskies. Below you will find the first part of the […]
Multiple Choice – Evan Williams BiB
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. […]
Runner – George Remus Bourbon
I am always keen on trying new American Whiskeys. So, when Perola added the new George Remus Bourbon to their portfolio, I just had to try it. This bootlegger inspired whiskey from Indiana really sounds very promising to try in cocktails! So, I came up with a Bourbon Sour cocktail suitable for the colder days […]
