The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Let us stay with flavoured rums for a while. So, we take a closer look at the new spiced rum from Plantation. The Canerock uses Jamaica rum and local herbs and spices for its flavoured rum spirit. For a drink using it, I decided to come up with a sort of Hanky Panky variation with […]
I am all for serious cocktails! I enjoy Amaros or hard to get by ingredients no one has ever heard off as much as the next guy. However, sometimes it is also ok to have fun for a change. In this case, the fun part comes in the form of the brownie flavoured Razel’s Rum. […]
When I tried the La Boum a view articles ago, I instantly knew that I had to come up with my own twist. Luckily, I just have had an excellent smoothie made from Franconian melons and mint. Therefore, I just switched out the watermelon juice and replaced the Cachaca with some overproof Jamaican rum. With […]
I am almost too late for this month’s Home Bar Awards . I simply made a lot of beer cocktails a few weeks ago and I just was not in the mood for more. Nevertheless, I managed to come up with a Hemingway Daiquiri variation which not only includes a double IPA, but also a […]
For the next part in my quest to find the best rum combination for a Mai Tai, I basically just switched the rums from the first time around. Again, I used four different rums, three Jamaica rum blends and one from Martinique in the opposite combination. Apart from that, I kept everything the same.
Well, I love Mai Tais like the next guy. However, I asked myself how I could make the best Mai Tai at home. So, I started a little series to see which combination of rum and orange curaçao in my home bar result in the, admittedly subjective, best version. Today, we start with four different […]
As promised here is my variation of the Naked Ape cocktail. Instead of banana liqueur, I chose lychee liqueur as the “exotic” fruit flavour in the recipe. Well now, do not be afraid the resulting drink is not an over the top sweet cocktail with a whole armada of fruit juices thrown into it. Instead, […]
I have a lot of cocktail books in my collection and they are a great source of inspiration. However, the problem is that I rarely make drinks from them. Sure, I flip through the book when I a new one and I always notice interesting recipe. Yet, I already have such a long list of […]
Another idea I had for a cocktail using the Seamaster Rum revolved around a fig liqueur. While this might not be the most common fruit liqueur on the market, it certainly is intriguing. Apart from that, the Esprit de Figues uses natural ingredients and just seems perfect for creating cocktails with it.
For this article I am again sticking to rum. I do not know why, but I in my opinion the rum-market is really buzzing right now. So, today I am presenting to you a blended Caribbean rum from an independent German bottler. The Rum Artesanal brings together rum from Barbados and Jamaica.
