The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I know, Chartreuse can be hard to come by these days. Nevertheless, is the Tipperary cocktail one of my favourites. On top of that, the drink is a true classic first mentioned in 1916. Hugo R. Ensslin published the drink in his “Recipes for Mixed Drinks” book.
For those hot summer days the obvious choice of base spirit seems to be rum. However, I while ago I came up with a Mai Tai variation using two different whiskies. While this version might indeed be a bit too much for the really hot days, it turned out delicious nevertheless.
There have been a lot of American whiskey drinks here on the blog lately. So, it is time to mix things up a bit, but not too much. This is why we stay with whiskey, but this time with a Scotch and Irish Whiskey combination. The Jungle Bird seemed like the perfect drink for it.
If you are lucky enough, your best-man excels at planning your bachelor party and you find yourself on a surprise trip to Dublin. Obviously, we had to hit all the famous drinking spots. One of the best experiences of the trip was the visit the old Jameson Distillery. Therefore, I also had to buy a […]
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 […]

This is why the Tourism Ireland invited some fellow Drinkstagrammers and me to an online gin tasting with Mike Tobin. All in all, I want to present […]
Well, today is St. Patrick’s Day! While I do not have a green drink on hand, I at least can tell you about an Irish Whiskey. Teeling Whiskey is very dear to me, not only because I enjoy their bottlings very much, but also because we visited their distillery in Dublin in 2019. In this […]
It took a while since our distillery visit for me to present a detailed look at one of the Teeling whiskeys. Therefore, I came up with a drink which is a combination of two of my favourite Whiskey Sour variations, and it uses the Teeling Single Malt! This means the recipe includes amaretto and fortified […]
We were on holiday in Ireland for the last couple of days. Of course, we also had to visit an Irish whiskey distillery. Since I had good experience with their whiskeys, we chose the Teeling distillery in Dublin. Apart from the tour, I also had the great pleasure of bottling my very own bottle of […]
