The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Through the suggestion of a fellow spirits blogger, I thought I give the Ki No Bi Gin line-up a chance. First up, I used the regular Ki No Bi Kyoto Dry Gin for a Martini-style highball using sake, vermouth and an olive lemonade. Besides that, the Ki No Bi also had to show how it […]
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 […]
Pepper is not exactly a new gin botanical. However, when a gin producer and pepper experts team up, the resulting spirit should be quite interesting. So, when I discovered the new Windspiel Kampot Pepper Gin, I just had to give it a try. Apart from that, this gave me the idea of mixing up a […]
I guess this is the first time that I reviewed the same spirit for a third time. However, when the gin in question is produced for a bartender friend of yours, you should make an exception. On top of that, it is always nice to see how a spirit and your taste develop over time. […]

Well, it is time to talk about gin again. Although, there is an oversupply of gins nowadays, sometimes a new one comes around which still is worth a try. In this case, the Lind & Lime Gin from Scotland combines just seven botanicals for a very classic juniper forward taste. So, I thought I give […]
The Martini, may be one of the most famous cocktails ever created. At least for me, it was not a pleasant sipper you instantly fall in love with. Instead, it took quite a few years and tries to get used to it. However, in the past few months I found myself craving one quite often. […]
So it is Valentine’s Day, and I thought I would write about a matching cocktail. Yes I know, I am in the middle of „Tropical Month“, but I just had the idea for this drink and thought you would not mind the little detour. For the recipe I combined gin, orange eau de vie, rose […]
During those difficult times, there are certain project which try to help the hospitality scene. In the case of Quarantini Social Dry Gin, Boris Markić the founder of Tesla Slivo and the distiller of Revolte Rum, Felix Kaltenthaler created a new gin which also supports local businesses as well as bars. Of course, I also […]
