The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
This is the last drink of Agave Month 2024. Posted just in time for the end of March, due to ongoing move-related chaos here at the AB-headquarters. Yet, this Mezcal Margarita variation is too good not to share with you.
Yes, I know March is over, but I still have one more agave cocktail to go. In this case, I came up with a split base cocktail using tequila and rye. On top of that, I also threw in the rather unusual Parfait Amour. So, I guess you could call it a distant relative of […]
I have been quite busy lately, so it was hard to keep up the pace of posting. Nevertheless, there is another drink in the spirit of agave month. It features a rather rare Makrut lime eau de vie from Matthias Sievert. On top of that, once again my friend Torben from Trinklaune and I collaborated […]
You know what they say: Better late than never! However, this time I am over half a year late. Nevertheless, I am presenting a rather special Margarita variation to you. Basically, it is a Fig Margarita, but the fruitiness comes from a fig eau de vie and some fig liqueur.
A lot of European eau de vie distillers turned to rum after making their own gin. However, now there is a new trend on the horizon. A few distillers, like the Distillerie de Paris, are turning towards agave spirits. I already wanted to write about their agave spirit last year, but instead ended up reviewing […]
The “Amarillo” was the next beer I tried from the Gänstaller Braumanufaktur. This double beer is inspired by Bamberg’s bock beer and uses Amarillo hops. Since, the flavour profile reminded me a bit of exotic fruits, I decided to mix up a Beergarita with it.
Today is Cinco de Mayo and I was asked to create cocktails with tequila and Mezcal from Topanito. So, this is exactly what I did. My initial idea was a deconstructed Paloma cocktail which coincidentally also ended up crystal clear. On top of that, I am also presenting an umami laced Mezcal cocktail to you.
There are a lot of tequilas out there. However, excellent ones are a bit harder to find. So, I am very happy to present to you a tequila which fame precedes him. So I thought I combine the highly rated Fortaleza Blanco with another great spirit the Lantenhammer Rote Williams eau de vie. On top […]
As promised, here are the best cocktails you can mix up with blood orange eau de vies! Of course, a Blood Orange & Tonic is a great, refreshing highball. However, I also took a look at (modern) classic cocktails and added a bit of blood orange eau de vie to them. On top of that, […]
What do you do when you have a mezcal and a matcha liqueur on hand? Well, you mix yourself a Mezcal Match Margarita, or in short a Triple M (working title) cocktail. Especially, when the mezcal is a vegan version of pechuga mezcal. This means that instead of a chicken, an agave heart and fruits […]
