The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
No, this drink does not contain vodka. In fact, it does not even contain a cocktail bitter. Instead, it shows how far a relatively simple combination can go. In this case, I built the whole drink around gentian liqueur as a base and topped it off with soda water.
I based the drink on the modern classic Negroni Bianco / White Negroni. Yet, I went for Reposado tequila as the base spirit. My changes did not stop there, but I also used a rather nerdy liqueur as well as a split wine base of port and Cocchi Americano.
I guess it is no secret that I love Compass Box. Now, this is my review of their new Nectarosity whisky. On top of that, I created a somehow White Scotch Boulevardier version with it. As it turns out, the best garnish for it was in fact an olive!
It is always pure joy to take part in Adam’s Soundtrack My Friends Drink! This time we each had to come up with a shot. Another participant than chose a song to soundtrack the recipe.
This is the second White Negroni variation in a short time. However, I cannot remember that I ever made a Mezcal Negroni variation. So, to change that, I came up with this aloe enhanced recipe.
Who says that there are too many White Negroni variations out there? For this special drink I added a bit of extra gentian (& apple) eau de vie and lemon eau de vie. In this context, I am also introducing a new gin to you.
This is the last article and drink from my series of American Whiskey based cocktails. This time I came up with a drink loosely based on Sam Ross’s Paper Plane. However, apart from the lemon juice, I basically changed all the ingredients.
For the next drink in this series on American Whiskey cocktails, I made a Boulevardier variation. Additionally, I drew some inspiration from the White Negroni to come up with a kind of combination of the two drinks.
I thought I would make it a hat trick and write about the third tequila drink in a row. This time it is all about a great blanco tequila in combination with White Negroni variation. With a little extra in the form of a strawberry pepper bitters.
I am always keen on trying new American Whiskeys. So, when Perola added the new George Remus Bourbon to their portfolio, I just had to try it. This bootlegger inspired whiskey from Indiana really sounds very promising to try in cocktails! So, I came up with a Bourbon Sour cocktail suitable for the colder days […]
