The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Actually, I wanted to write about an entirely different cocktail. Yet, I again was inspired by Matthias Soberon and his Pain Killer Milk Punch. On top of that, I could not wait to put to use a caramel pineapple cordial recipe from the Tin Tin Bar in Stuttgart. In the end, I came up with […]
Ever since I read about a Fernet Piña Colada at Punch.com, I wanted to recreate the recipe. Well, now that I did, I can tell you that the combination of pineapple and coconut with Fernet is a match made in heaven. At least this is what I remember after mixing up two different versions of […]
Every year Plantation Rum releases new Single Cask bottlings. This year is no different, with a whooping number of elven different ones. I was lucky enough to get my hands on five samples of the whole range for 2020. So, let us see what master blender Alexandre Gabriel has in stall for us today!
Well, sometimes you just have a little luck. In this case, I won two samples of the Perola 10the Anniversary limited rum editions. On top of that, I took part in the online tasting where Réne from Perola took us through the two bottlings. Especially interesting was to see how the two different cask finishes […]

It is week three in the Tiki month and we will stick to Tiki drinks with Amaros for a little while longer. As mentioned in the last article the Jungle Bird is a Tiki classic using Campari. However, the drink is a great base for cocktail variations. Especially when you have a new rum on […]
Even now that Tiki month is over, I actually have two more rums to talk about. The first one is from St. Lucia and the casks mimic a rum that was forgotten after a fire at the distillery. However, the second rum in question is even more special. The bottling from Plantation’s Single Cask line […]
As the first article in 20178 I decided to remind ourselves of warmer days! Therefore, I prepared a summery, Daiquiri variation for us. Besides a great Demerara rum, the recipe also includes an organic flavouring. Before you now cry out in horror of food flavouring, let me assure you that the Junip Natural Organic Flavour […]
The second instalment of this years Tiki month is also based on another classic Tiki cocktail, the Zombie! There is no better drink suited for a new overproof rum than this deadly and iconic Don the Beachcomber drink! The rum itself, the Plantation O.F.T.D. is the newest addition to the diverse line up of Plantation […]
