The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Pepper is not exactly a new gin botanical. However, when a gin producer and pepper experts team up, the resulting spirit should be quite interesting. So, when I discovered the new Windspiel Kampot Pepper Gin, I just had to give it a try. Apart from that, this gave me the idea of mixing up a […]
I guess this is the first time that I reviewed the same spirit for a third time. However, when the gin in question is produced for a bartender friend of yours, you should make an exception. On top of that, it is always nice to see how a spirit and your taste develop over time. […]
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 […]
Liquorice is a love or hate thing. I love this salty flavoured sweet and at least for me, it cannot be salty enough. Therefore, I was keen on trying the new liquor from Heiko Hoos. The liquorice and salmiac flavoured liqueur opens up a lot of new possibilities for mixing cocktails. On top of that, […]

The Martini, may be one of the most famous cocktails ever created. At least for me, it was not a pleasant sipper you instantly fall in love with. Instead, it took quite a few years and tries to get used to it. However, in the past few months I found myself craving one quite often. […]
Sometimes you taste a spirit and it completely redefines how you look upon the spirits category. This is exactly what happened when I tried the Spiritus Rex Cydonia Quince eau de vie! Yes, I have tried other great quince eau de vies before. Yet, the one distilled by Matthias Sievert can only be called what […]
As always with this category I am presenting spirits to you that are new to me. For the first article in this year, it is all about gin. While the trend clearly goes towards more regional spirits, the gins I am writing about today all come from South America. The Canaima Gin from Venezuela and […]
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 […]
