The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
The Martini, may be one of the most famous cocktails ever created. At least for me, it was not a pleasant sipper you instantly fall in love with. Instead, it took quite a few years and tries to get used to it. However, in the past few months I found myself craving one quite often. […]
Ever since I read about a Fernet Piña Colada at Punch.com, I wanted to recreate the recipe. Well, now that I did, I can tell you that the combination of pineapple and coconut with Fernet is a match made in heaven. At least this is what I remember after mixing up two different versions of […]
When it comes to cocktails, there are some ingredients which have the ability to transform mediocre recipes into something special. One of those “cheater ingredients” is Pedro Ximenez sherry. It almost does not matter which ingredients you throw at this sherry, the recipe will always taste good. In this case, I chose a highly praised […]
I actually wanted to create another White Negoni variation with the Woodland Navy Strength Gin. Yet, since in the past few months I heavily relied on Negroni variations, I scrapped that idea. Instead, I once more took inspiration from Joerg Meyer and made a variation of his “Mario Muratti” cocktail. It turned out to be […]
After Tiki Month is over, we are back to juniper spirits again. While the Eversbusch Doppelwachholder technically can be called a gin, this traditional German spirit only uses one botanical: Juniper. However, the 66 version of it has an even higher ABV than their “Navy Strength” version the 1817.
I finally got my hands on the much sort after Juniper Jack Navy Strength London Dry Gin. This powerful version of the already juniper forward Juniper Jack is quite a flavour bomb. However, Navy Strength gins are also quite demanding when creating cocktails with them. Nevertheless, I had an idea to combine it with a […]
It’s again time for a new gin! Yet, this one comes in “Navy Strength”. The magic words which set hearts of spirits connoisseurs racing. Apart from that, already the regular Elephant’s Gin won me over completely. So, obviously I was more than curious what the few extra percentages ABV could do! Right now we are […]
Yes, I am also doing a end-of-the-year review thing now. It is not only to have something quick to write about without doing actual work between the holidays, but also because I was curious myself. Over the year I tried quite a lot of different spirits and to boil it down to an actual top […]
This is already the third spirit from the Eimverk distillery I am presenting to you! And I will be honest, I am very much in love with their products. They are unconventional and typically Icelandic. This means that if you are looking for a gin which complies to the standards you are completely wrong here. […]
In this series I am providing you with tasting notes of spirits that had a lasting impression on me, yet I did not get around to create a drink with them. So, this Spirited News is all about rye and a little bit of gin. Yet, we are not talking about rye whiskey here. Instead […]
