The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Well, even in our own travels in Ireland, we mainly focused on beer and whiskey. However, the distillery scene on the green island is more diverse than that! This is why the Tourism Ireland invited some fellow Drinkstagrammers and me to an online gin tasting with Mike Tobin. All in all, I want to present […]
The Niemand Gin’s rose bottle already caught my eye a few years ago. However, I never got around to try it until now. So, to change that we are taking a closer look at the sandalwood forward gin today. Besides the obligatory Gin & Tonic, I had the feeling that the gin would be great […]
The third bottling of gin from the Kyoto Distillery highlights a special botanical also used in the other gins. Obviously, we are talking about green tea. Japanese culture and green tea have a deeply rooted connection and the Ki No Tea reflects that. Of course, this also means that I had to come up with […]
I do like overproof gins. In this case, I will take a closer look at the Japanese Ki No Bi Sei Gin from the Kyoto Distillery. Since the regular strength Ki No Bi Gin already won me over, I was very intrigued by how the Sei would behave in cocktails. To test the gin’s mixability, […]
Through the suggestion of a fellow spirits blogger, I thought I give the Ki No Bi Gin line-up a chance. First up, I used the regular Ki No Bi Kyoto Dry Gin for a Martini-style highball using sake, vermouth and an olive lemonade. Besides that, the Ki No Bi also had to show how it […]

Even though the Reisetbauer Blue Gin can almost be described as a classic gin. I did not have a chance to review it probably until now. To change that, I not only tried it in a Gin & Tonic, but also made Fizz style cocktail using a Nitro stout. On top of that, I also […]
Today is the anniversary of the Quarantini Social Dry Gin. For this occasion, the folks behind this exotically flavoured gin release a limited edition of their gin. The Barrel Aged Gin even donates 10 € to a bar or restaurant of your choice. So, let us take a closer look at the amber coloured gin […]
Well, it is time to talk about gin again. Although, there is an oversupply of gins nowadays, sometimes a new one comes around which still is worth a try. In this case, the Lind & Lime Gin from Scotland combines just seven botanicals for a very classic juniper forward taste. So, I thought I give […]
So it is Valentine’s Day, and I thought I would write about a matching cocktail. Yes I know, I am in the middle of „Tropical Month“, but I just had the idea for this drink and thought you would not mind the little detour. For the recipe I combined gin, orange eau de vie, rose […]
