The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I know that I am too late for agave month 2025 with this tequila cocktail. Nevertheless, I want to present the La Perla to you. It took ages for me to get around to mix the drink, but I was lacking the pear liqueur for a few years. Now that I have a high-quality one, […]
On our honeymoon, we visited the Amor Y Amargo Bar and had a wonderful evening. It left a lasting impression on me. Ever since I want more Amaros and more bitters in my homebar. Apart from that, I tried to recreated a drink the barkeeper tailor-made for me. It might not be the same drink, […]
The Cameron’s Kick is a cocktail I unfortunately disregarded so far. Somehow, I thought of it as a “dressed-up” Whiskey Sour. However, when I reviewed the Busker Irish Whiskey a few weeks back, I mixed up a variation of this classic cocktail. I was in for quite a surprise! Although I added a bit of […]
Lantenhammer just recently released a new line of barrel aged eau de vies. I already liked their Slyrs barrel aged bottlings, but in this case they aged their regular plum eau de vie in brandy barrels. On top of that, I am currently in the mood for Armagnac cocktails. So, I combined the eau de […]

For the festive days there is a great cocktail which almost has nothing to do with Christmas. The Mistaken for Strangers by Misty Kalkofen basically is a Grappa Last Word cocktail. So, when I got my hands on a sloe eau de vie from Lantenhammer I thought I mix up a variation of this festive […]
As you might know, I am a big fan of eau de vies. On top of that, I also love apricots. However, compared to apple, pear or plum eau de vies, apricot eau de vies are not that common. A reason for that might be, that it is not that easy to get high-quality apricots. […]
I have been to a few distilleries so far. However, I never visited a pure whisky distillery. So, just I had to visit the Slyrs Bavarian Single Malt distillery when I was in the neighbourhood. The home of the Slyrs Single Malt is absolutely worth a visit. Here is the full story of the Bavarian […]
There a certain things every cocktail lover or bartender should do at least once in his life. – No, I am not talking about a shot of Chartreuse or something like that, but of the the production of spirits. And of course this is one thing you as a spirits connoisseur can not know enough […]
