The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Dry January would not be complete without a drink using San Bitter. I know that it is artificially coloured and contains a lot of sugar, but I just love the bittersweet taste. In this case, I paired it with milky Oolong syrup and grape juice for a Negroni-esque drink.
It is always pure joy to take part in Adam’s Soundtrack My Friends Drink! This time we each had to come up with a shot. Another participant than chose a song to soundtrack the recipe.
It is time for another excellent and exclusive eau de vie from Pinot Meunier grapes. Although this one is distilled from grapes, it is not a brandy, but rather barrel aged grape eau de vie. Nevertheless, I decided to come up with a Harvard variation for it.

Yet, apart from the two famous brands, high quality liqueurs exist with an excellent value for money. Of course, you have to be a fan […]
To further enhance my Pisco knowledge, I had the chance to directly compare three more Piscos. All three “aromatic” grape variety Piscos come from Barsol. It was impressive to experience the similarities, but also the differences between the Moscatel, Italia and Torontel grapes.
Today I am presenting two different drinks to you. First, a cocktail by fellow Drinkstagramer Philipp using pisco and Italicus. However, besides that I am also showing you my version of the drink, I call the “Cedro Sour”. Instead of pisco, I used a Blanch Armagnac and of course I could not help myself, but […]
