The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
The Jungle Bird is one of my favourite tropical cocktails. The fruity flavours just form a perfect balance with the Jamaica rum and the bitter liqueur. When I got my hands on a new interesting champagne, I had the idea of adding a splash of it to the original Jungle Bird recipe. Which if course, […]
Well, what better way to celebrate your birthday than with a glass of champagne! Especially, when the champagne in question is organic and comes from a artisanal producer like Benoit Marguet. So, after I already used the champagne in a cocktail, let us find out how the Shaman 15 Zero Dosage tastes on its own.
