The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
On to the next, “new” Eversbusch Doppel-Wachholder. As mentioned in the article on the coffee infused juniper spirit, Peter Eversbusch is always experimenting with new products. This time he aged his Doppel-Wachholder in a mulberry wood barrel for five months. For a cocktail I combined the Eversbusch with a barrel aged herbal liqueur. Let us […]
The Niemand Gin’s rose bottle already caught my eye a few years ago. However, I never got around to try it until now. So, to change that we are taking a closer look at the sandalwood forward gin today. Besides the obligatory Gin & Tonic, I had the feeling that the gin would be great […]
As with the B My Gin, I also am revisiting the Benguela Diamonds Gin. This South African inspired gin shows a great balance between juniper and New Western Style notes. On top of that, I was looking for a gin to use in a Beer-Negroni. While this drink might sound a bit weird, it turns […]
As mentioned with my article on the Hoos Sal Miakki, this month’s Home Bar Awards theme is “equal parts”. While I am presenting a specific Amaro to you today, I also want to talk about a specific drinks concept. “Maximalist cocktails” were at least to me new. Despite a few Tiki cocktails, I always thought […]
Well, I missed the Secret Sante event on Instagram, but for the start of Tropical Month f.k.a. Tiki Month, I decided to still pay tribute to my namesake Matthias Soberon. It is just crazy how many beautiful cocktails he is putting out there every day. So, when Johann from Cocktailbart came up with a Chartreuse […]
It feels like pouring cocktails through coffee filters is a new trend. However, for this Green Point variation I went in a different direction: I just infused sweet vermouth with coffee. The Single Barrel version of the Evan Williams bourbon range seemed like a perfect fit for this style of cocktail.
For the festive days there is a great cocktail which almost has nothing to do with Christmas. The Mistaken for Strangers by Misty Kalkofen basically is a Grappa Last Word cocktail. So, when I got my hands on a sloe eau de vie from Lantenhammer I thought I mix up a variation of this festive […]
When it comes to eau de vies, the usual ABV is around 40 %. Maybe they have a bit more, but usually the alcohol content is below 50 %. However, besides the higher production costs, there is no reason why not to bottle an eau de vie at overproof. Everything that goes for cask strength […]
A lot of Tiki drinks use fire. However, it does not do the trick to just pour 151 rum over a sugar cube. For a real Tiki-fire you need a secret ingredient. On top of that, I decided to come up with a Vulcano Bowl style drink using rum and cognac. It basically means that […]
Besides Genever, the Dutch spirits brand By The Dutch also specializes in arrack. In addition to the aged Arrack I reviewed earlier, there is a new version on the market. . They added a “white” just slightly aged version. Let us see if the white Arrack can live up to the expectations.
