Remixed! – Eeyore’s Requiem
The Eeyore’s Requiem by Toby Maloney really is a cocktail for expert level Negroni drinkers. Since I cannot get enough of bitter cocktails, I had to try it in my Remixed! series.

Tropical Month ’25: Mango Negroni
At the beginning of February, Joerg Meyer wrote about the Mango Negroni on his 7cl Business blog. Since, I was planning a tropical party anyway, I thought I give it a go.
Golden Sky – Gin Eva L’Horabaixa
Ever since our visit to Casa Eva in Mallorca this year, I was thinking about their newest gin the L’Horabaixa. It was one of the few new gins that was able to impress me. So, I am very happy that Stefan send me a bottle and I could try the recipe I pitched to him […]
Negroni Week 2024 – Cardinal
For this recipe, I started with a Gin & It variation. Yet, I added a bit of Italian red bitter to the recipe and this basically took the drink in another direction entirely. So, I just embraced the Negroni (Cardinale) spirit.
Negroni Week 2024 – Mandarine Negroni
This post falls under the “Remixed!” category, because the recipe comes from Dennis Stein of Le Lion, Hamburg. They are selling a barrel aged version of it during Negroni Week. So, if you are in Hamburg check it out.
Negroni Variations – Bananaroni
I held back with Negroni variations a bit, because I easily could only mix those. Maybe with the occasional Manhattan version thrown in. Despite, the name which still is kind of the working title, the drink does not taste half as crazy as it sounds.
Juniper Arms – Citadelle Juniper Decadence
Citadelle already have a lot of experience with ageing gins. Yet, they went the extra mile with their Juniper Decadence bottling. So, I came up with a Sazerac version – a drink I usually would not use a gin in.
Dirty Love – Gin Eva La Mallorquina
Obviously, a great Dirty Martini only needs good gin and vermouth as well as some olive brine. Yet, it is also fun to add a little bit of ‘extra’ to the mix. Especially, if you have the perfect Dirty Martini gin on hand!
Distillery Visit – Gin Eva
Our choice for the first summer vacation as a family fell on Mallorca. Obviously, this meant that I had to visit Stefan Winterling in his new ‘Casa Eva’ distillery. Luckily, he also was happy to have us and invited us to a gin tasting.
Pantsy Waltz – Weyermann Doppelwacholder
What should you mix, when you have a juniper spirit on hand? Obviously, I had to come up with a Hanky Panky variation. Especially, when I also had a herbal liqueur from the same distillery on hand.
