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.

Exactly the opposite is the case with the Wilhelm Marx Aqauvite die Genziana. Apart from the melodic name, the eau de vie […]
I am a big fan of Compass Box Whiskies. So, when they teamed up with Brewdog, another innovative brewery / distillery, I just had to try their whisky. The Compass Box Transistor was especially designed to work as a Boilermaker with the Brewdog Punk IPA. Apart from the Boilermaker, I also took inspiration from the […]
