The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I have been planning an article about Negronis for quite some time now. So, this year’s Negroni week is the perfect reason for not further postponing it. So, below you can find four different “Negronis” ranging from the original classic to modern interpretations.
The next drink I want to present to you comes from my long list of cocktail ideas. Every time a flavour combination pops into my head, I write it down. So, there is a list of 200+ cocktails I could try. To lower the amount of cocktails on that list, I started going through it […]
Umeshu is the perfect way to resurrect my “unusual ingredients” category. Besides my review, I combined this Ginjo sake-based liqueur with more plum flavours and came up with a Manhattan variation. There is just some magic about adding plum flavours to a Manhattan template!
So, it is the limited gin editions season again. This year, Brewdog weighs in with a new flavour combination for their regular Lonewolf Gin. In this case, the Distiller’s Cut is flavoured with lime and two of the hottest chilli peppers in the world. Since this somehow reminded me of Mexico, I decided to come […]
Well, there are really too much gins out there. It is impossible to keep up with the already existing qualities and than there still are new releases. However, today I want to write about a gin which caught my attention a few years ago. Yet, it took until now for me to get around to […]

While other spirits distilled from fruits also have their appeal, the familiar notes of citrus eau de vies easily wins over gin drinkers. That being said, you rarely encounter a citrus eau de vie distilled from the fermented fruits. However, […]
Liquorice is a love or hate thing. I love this salty flavoured sweet and at least for me, it cannot be salty enough. Therefore, I was keen on trying the new liquor from Heiko Hoos. The liquorice and salmiac flavoured liqueur opens up a lot of new possibilities for mixing cocktails. On top of that, […]
What better way to start the new year as with a Manhattan variation? In this case, I used quite the special rye whiskey as a base spirit. Rye whiskey usually consists of a mash bill from different grains. However, the Reservoir Rye Whiskey from Virginia is 100 % rye. So, I also used a rather […]
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 […]
