The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
The Vallein Tercinier V.S.O.P cognac has recently been given a new design. Fortunately, Kirsch Whisky was kind enough to send me a bottle to sample. I opted for a Cognac Summit variation, which turned out to be the perfect choice for such hot days.
I really like using tea in non-alcoholic cocktails. This time the drink was inspired by a classic fizz. However, the spirit is replaced with an organic alpine herbs tea. On top of that, I again used an organic, alcohol-free cider in the recipe!
The first regular Home Bar Awards Challenge in 2022 is about Ramos Gin Fizz Reels. – I have to admit that I am rarely mixing a Ramos Gin Fizz, not because I do not like them, but because they are quite labour intensive. Nevertheless, I came up with a variation inspired by exotic spices.
As promised, here comes my first non-alcoholic cocktail in 2022. I thought I would start with cocktails using tea.

This easy combination of amaretto, lemon juice and soda water is just a perfect sipper for warmer days. Yet, I had to come up with a more elaborate combination without losing the characteristics of the […]
Besides distilling excellent eau de vies, Matthias Sievert also produces high-quality liqueurs. In this case, I had the great pleasure of trying and mixing with his Null Serie Amalfi Cello. In this range Matthias markets very limited releases which most of the time do not even make it into his regular online-shop. As the name […]
There is always a new gin to try. This time, it is a handcrafted gin from Belgium, which carries a special pepper in its name. Apart from that, the name is also a reference to the prohibition. For a ticket, you could see a “blind tiger” in the back room and apart from that an […]
