Halloween 2026 – Orange Blood
When it comes to holiday-themed cocktails, I usually come underprepared. This time, I threw some ingredients together the day before Halloween and poured the mixture into a pumpkin-shaped mug.

Hazy Image – Farthofer Emmer Whisky
It has been a long time since I featured Farthofer Whisky on my blog. Yet, way back when I did enjoy them very much. Now I am happy to feature another bottle here. Additionally, I also managed to remix the winning cocktail of the ‘Whisky category’ from the “Made in GSA” cocktail competition.
Dry January 2024 – Storm in a Teacup
A few years back, I would not have believed that there is a big market for non-alcoholic ‘spirits’. Yet, now you can find a great variety out there. However, I asked myself if you could come up with something similar at home. You can find the results and a delicious no-ABV drink below.
El Mirador – Pasote Reposado

What better way to start than by mixing up a delicious and unique margarita variation? This cocktail uses reposado tequila, along with a spicy tequila infusion, as well as mandarin Curaçao.

Pink Salt Lake – Distillerie de Paris Agave
A lot of European eau de vie distillers turned to rum after making their own gin. However, now there is a new trend on the horizon. A few distillers, like the Distillerie de Paris, are turning towards agave spirits. I already wanted to write about their agave spirit last year, but instead ended up reviewing […]
Beergarita – Gänstaller Amarillo Beer
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.
Birth of Worlds – TCRL Fiji
Sometimes a spirit gets so much praise, that it is very hard to live up to that expectation. This, very much was the case with the Transcontinental Rum Line (TCRL) Fiji Rum. On top of that, I made it even harder for the rum, because I paired it with other favourites of mine in a […]
