The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
When you buy a fan kit from your favourite brewery which includes a beer called ‘Wanderlust’, you definitely have to come up with a hiking inspired beer cocktail! So, this is what I did with the ‘Wanderlust’ American Pale Ale from Orca Brau.
It is time for Soundtrack my Friend’s Drink again! For Volume 14 Adam collected song suggestions reminding us of our youth and randomly assigned them to another participant. In addition, we should include a childhood snack in the drink or as a garnish. So, I went for a high school party inspired mess of ingredients.
Sometimes you just have to remix drinks you had too long ago. In this case, the Highball might seem a bit boring at first glance. However, the Mizuwari Highball is more than its list of ingredients might suggest. On top of that, this gave me the excuse to present the Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky to […]
We are continuing with another colourful and tropical cocktail! This time I played around with a new, funky Jamaica rum from independent bottler Rest & Be Thankful. As for the cocktail, I am working through my backlog of cocktail ideas. As it turned out I had a nice combination with unaged Armagnac on hand.
Well, if your favourite spirits importer / dealer asks you to enter one of their competitions you do not hesitate. So, I came up with a tropical drink using an ounce of Aluna Coconut rum.

Have you ever heard of Sotol? Well I have, but until now I did not try one myself. Yet, the folks behind Dr. Sours wanted to change that. So, here we are taking a closer look at the Sotomayor Sotol. Luckily, I had some bergamot lemonade essence on hand which seemed like a perfect fit […]
Obviously, if you get your hands on a high-quality spirit, you first enjoy it on its own. However, even when it seems exuberant, excellent spirits may result in outstanding cocktails. This is why I decided to pair the lavish mirabelle plum eau de vie from Spiritus Rex with a limited edition rum from Barbados in […]
There are a lot of bitter liqueurs out there. Some are as bitter as Campari. Others are meant to be used as an aperitive. In this case, the folks behind the 20457 Hafencity Gin decided to come up with a slightly bitter and grapefruit forward Aperitivo.
There are a few exceptional drinks, which I mix far too rarely. The “Beauregard’s Breakfast” definitely falls into that category. Apart from that, I had a new Irish Whiskey as well as an Amaro to review and a homemade blueberry preserves from my mother-in-law. So, it was the obvious choice to come up with a […]
