The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
When the folks from Gin de Cologne asked me if I wanted to try their new Mediterranean Gin, I gladly said yes. This version of their classic gin seemed perfect for refreshing summer drinks. Well, as it turns out, it was – although the creation is not for the faint hearted!
Yes, you could confuse this article with one only dedicated to the French liqueur coming from a monastery. Yet, in the article I also present a drink to you which is named after a Capital Cities song. Of course, the drink also includes Chartreuse…
I really like using tea in non-alcoholic cocktails. This time the drink was inspired by a classic fizz. However, the spirit is replaced with an organic alpine herbs tea. On top of that, I again used an organic, alcohol-free cider in the recipe!
Until now, my favourite cocktail using Fernet was the Hanky Panky. While this still is a great one, a “new” contender arose – The Toronto Cocktail. Since I had a new Fernet on hand, I thought I would give it a try!

When I tried the Mondino Senza in 2021, it won me over completely. Its natural taste combined with organic ingredients is just a perfect non-alcoholic ingredient for Spritzes and cocktails. So, for the Dry January 2022, I thought I come up with a few different recipes featuring it.
My second no-ABV creation using tea is inspired by a gin drink called Adult Lemonade. However, instead of the juniper flavoured spirit I used a combination of herbal tea – inspired by Gin Sul – and the no-ABV spirit Seedlip. Add cucumber and a bit of acidity and you have got yourself a very refreshing […]
There are a few exceptional drinks, which I mix far too rarely. The “Beauregard’s Breakfast” definitely falls into that category.
