The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I came up with this drink during Tropical Month 2023, but did not came around to write about it. Since this was a great combination of flavours, I thought I just post it this year. However, this also means I am not completely sure how I got to the specific recipe.
Well, I recently wondered which cocktail I should mix to celebrate me getting my PhD? Obviously, there really one was one choice – the Doctor Cocktail. Especially if you have some homemade Swedish Punch at hand.
In a line with last year, I came up with a tropical Champagne cocktail. This time it was inspired by the classic Hurricane. However, I also added a passion fruit jam as well as some Moscatel sherry just for good measure. Furthermore, this gives me the perfect excuse to review this rather new champagne.
Obviously, there is not just non-alcoholic “gin” on the market by now. The folks at Heimat Distillers also have a version of their Vogelfrei based on sugarcane. This interesting no-ABV “rum” which also includes chilli and Limousin wood seemed perfect for a alcohol free version of the Jungle Bird cocktail. At the same time, this […]
I am very happy to have won a Home Bar Awards challenge in 2021. This means that I am now able to compete in the Final competition of 2021. As in 2020, Sother Teague joins as a judge. So, I had to create a cocktail using Fernet, but also Amor Y Amargo style.
Ever since I read about a Fernet Piña Colada at Punch.com, I wanted to recreate the recipe. Well, now that I did, I can tell you that the combination of pineapple and coconut with Fernet is a match made in heaven. At least this is what I remember after mixing up two different versions of […]
Even now that Tiki month is over, I actually have two more rums to talk about. The first one is from St. Lucia and the casks mimic a rum that was forgotten after a fire at the distillery. However, the second rum in question is even more special. The bottling from Plantation’s Single Cask line […]
As the first article in 20178 I decided to remind ourselves of warmer days! Therefore, I prepared a summery, Daiquiri variation for us. Besides a great Demerara rum, the recipe also includes an organic flavouring. Before you now cry out in horror of food flavouring, let me assure you that the Junip Natural Organic Flavour […]
The second instalment of this years Tiki month is also based on another classic Tiki cocktail, the Zombie! There is no better drink suited for a new overproof rum than this deadly and iconic Don the Beachcomber drink! The rum itself, the Plantation O.F.T.D. is the newest addition to the diverse line up of Plantation […]
As I use a lot of different types of sugar in my drinks I will tell you how to make a syrup that will quickly dissolve in your cocktail. You can use any type of sugar you like.
