The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Even though I photographed a few cocktails before our move, I barely have time for anything else since. Yet, I still want to present to you this great agave-forward Old-Fashioned variation. It uses a combination of two tequilas which really adds a nice layer of complexity.
I was wondering if you could turn the peculiar Arsenic And Old Lace cocktail into a tropical drink. While the Original is weird, its mix of ingredients is also very intriguing. So, I set to work and this is the delicious result!
I guess it is a bit late to post watermelon cocktails. However, when I made the drink back in September there were still tropical temperatures out there. So, this might just serve as a reminder of the next, overly hot summer to come!
Yes, it is another new gin and yes summer is almost over. However, this does not mean that you could not sip a summery gin highball. In this case, I came up with a grapefruit forward Negroni style highball.

Again, I am late with the review of an eau de vie. The Scheibel Distillery from the black forest send me three different eau de vie a few months ago. However, the Mirabelle eau de vie is the only one which I did not present to you until now. To change that I came up […]
Usually, I am missing such occasions / holidays like St. Patricks Day here – not deliberately, but by chance. However, this year is different, because I have a joker up my sleeve. I made a drink with a new (for me) Irish Whiskey a while back. So, is there a better excuse to share it […]
You know how it is, you have great cocktail ideas, but you cannot try them all! At the same time, when you do it happens that you get not to write about them. However, inspired by Torben from Empirebrick of Gin, I decided to publish some of them anyway. (It seems like I was quite […]
Sometimes I have slightly crazy cocktail ideas. In this case, I asked myself how much grapefruit flavour I could get into a drink. So, besides some Jamaica rum I used four different grapefruit flavoured ingredients. Let us see how the drink turned out!
