The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I guess it comes with the job, that when you have a reputation for creating great spirits, people request certain things. In this case, bars and restaurants on Mallorca asked Casa Eva for an aperitif liqueur. So they obliged.
Vermouth slowly, but steadily replaces gin as the new “it” drink. My friend Stefan Winterling decided to also have a go at it with local ingredients from Mallorca. I already tried his Vermut at the distillery during our summer vacation and really enjoyed it. Now, I also created an easy summer sipper inspired by the […]
This year was our second visit to Mallorca for summer holidays. Since we had such a great time last year, we also visited Stefan Winterling at his Casa Eva distillery again. I was especially curious, because he had just launched a vermouth.
Ever since our visit to Casa Eva in Mallorca this year, I was thinking about their newest gin the L’Horabaixa. It was one of the few new gins that was able to impress me. So, I am very happy that Stefan send me a bottle and I could try the recipe I pitched to him […]
Our choice for the first summer vacation as a family fell on Mallorca. Obviously, this meant that I had to visit Stefan Winterling in his new ‘Casa Eva’ distillery. Luckily, he also was happy to have us and invited us to a gin tasting.
After tropical month, it is time to shift the focus on something else. Therefore, I decided to make March ‘agave month’. What better way to start than by mixing up a delicious and unique margarita variation? This cocktail uses reposado tequila, along with a spicy tequila infusion, as well as mandarin Curaçao.
Great minds think alike: Some time ago, my namesake Instagram buddy Matthias Tetaert came up with a Mandarin Mai Tai variation. So, I thought I would start Tropical Month 2023 with the recipe I came up with around the same time. On top of that, I also had an excellent mandarin liqueur I want to […]
I guess everybody who grows their own basil knows that at some point it will blossom. Even when I am trying to cut the blossoms to get more leaves, at some point I forget and then the blossoms explode. Well, what you can do is pick them and make a syrup out of them. So, […]
Since we visited Passau, I wanted to study bitter orange spirits a bit more. Therefore, I had the chance to review the excellent Edelhof 1514 Pomeranze Eau de Vie. On top of that, I created a version of a Danish cocktail using aquavit and a very special Pedro Ximenez sherry.
In a time where every possible eatable is used as a gin botanical, it does not come as a surprise that also olives are distilled. However, since the regular Gin Eva was able to win me over, I also was intrigued by this combination of herbal and savoury flavours. Especially, when thinking of a Dirty […]
