The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I do enjoy the spritis from Scheibel’s ‘Alte Zeit’ range quite much. Yet, there liqueurs are where they really shine! In this case, I came up with a sparkling wine cocktail using their whisky as well as the new Blackcurrant Rum.
I already made two variations of the Cameron’s Kick – the Kick Drum Heart and the Punch Through. In the former I combined whisky with a plum eau de vie and in the latter I discovered that Emill whisky from the Scheibel distillery works perfectly with Irish Whiskey.
I thought long and hard on what to mix with Buckwheat whisky. First, I came up with a Blood & Sand variation. However, I also consulted my Flavor Bible and additionally found a great recipe to base my creation on.
Single Malt from Germany already is quite normal, but rye and other US style whiskeys are a bit of a novelty. I already featured the Stork Club rye whiskey here on the blog. However, Florian Faude is new to the game. So, I thought I put both distilleries head to head!
The Cameron’s Kick is a cocktail I unfortunately disregarded so far. Somehow, I thought of it as a “dressed-up” Whiskey Sour. However, when I reviewed the Busker Irish Whiskey a few weeks back, I mixed up a variation of this classic cocktail. I was in for quite a surprise! Although I added a bit of […]
There are liqueurs out there meant for mixing and then there are high-quality fruit brandies which are almost to exquisite too be mixed. In this case, Scheibel introduced a new “Alte Zeit” brandy with plum flavour. Of course, I was eager to try it and I also came up with a suitable drink. On top […]
On our last trip, we went to scenic Lake Constance to enjoy the lake, apples, wine and of course visit a distillery. In this case the Steinhauser distillery in Kressbronn, which even the New York Times wrote about. They are famous for their highly awarded See Gin, but also make eau de vies and single […]
It has been a while since the last Spirited news here at the blog. However, the Lagerkorn 12, basically a German whisky, by the Sasse distillery near Munster makes this one rather special. Instead of making a cocktail with this rare spirit, I went for a boilermaker – the spirit neat and a beer.
The renown eau de vie distillery Farthofer also started to produce whiskys. While on first glance this might seem like nothing really new, the degree to which the whisky is produced in-house is still something special. Josef Farthofer grows eight different heirloom grain varieties on his fields and also built his own malting. This is […]
Obviously, I could not visit the Slyrs distillery, without creating a cocktail using one of their single malts. This is why I am presenting the Bavarian Smash to you today. It basically is a highproof version of my PX Jerez Smash. Nevertheless, because of the Slyrs 51, it is noticeably different.
