Hot & Cool – Kota Pandan Liqueur
To be honest, I am not the biggest fan of pandan. Yet, the Kota Liqueur for itself is definitely a high quality ingredient. Especially, if you use it in an Old-Fashioned variation.

Fellow Traveller – For Fellows X.O. Rum
If you ask me whether you should use expensive bottles of alcohol to make cocktails, my answer is definitely yes! Obviously, it depends on the drink you want to make, but all the other ingredients should be of the best possible quality too. In this case, I added some exotic flavours to the delicious For […]
Agave Month 2024 – Caldera
Even though I photographed a few cocktails before our move, I barely have time for anything else since. Yet, I still want to present to you this great agave-forward Old-Fashioned variation. It uses a combination of two tequilas which really adds a nice layer of complexity.
Oaxaca Old-Fashioned – El Tesoro Reposado
I guess it is a condition of every cocktail maniac to stockpile cocktail books. Yet, I almost never remix recipes from them. Since I vowed to change that, I am writing about Death & Co’s Oaxacan Old-Fashioned. On top of that, I am staying true to newly created ‘Agave Month’!
Day by Day – Scheibel Nussler
It has been a long time since I made an Old-Fashioned variation. So, I thought I give it a try when reviewing a barrel aged walnut eau de vie. On top of that, I also have a great value-for-money rum from Barbados.
A Case of You – WhistlePig PiggyBack Rye
It took quite a while, but here is my cocktail creation using my souvenir from our Canada / USA trip. For the WhistlePig Piggy Back Rye, I chose an Old-Fashioned variation with Canadian ingredients.
Father’s Child – Pikesville Rye Whiskey
When you are looking for whiskey drinks you often just think about Boulevardier or Manhattan variations. However, another great, but unusual source of inspiration is the Godfather. Obviously, the drink can be too sweet, but if you balance it right you are in for an almond laced treat, just like this drink using the excellent […]
Steal My Sunshine – Magnifica Extra Premium
If there is a spirit I am regularly neglecting here on the blog, it is Cachaça. To change that, I gave the Magnifica Extra Premium a try. On top of that, I came up with an Old-Fashioned variation which was really delicious. Although probably no one else can recreate it…
Blue Hours – Michter’s Sour Mash
As a roundup of our lates American Whiskey tasting, I decided to mix cocktails with at least some of the whiskeys in the tasting. The start of this little series marks a drink inspired by the local cuisine of the Northeast. All of that resulted in a kind of Old-Fashioned variation using the Michter’s Sour […]
The Pearl – Scheibel Williams
On with my little series on eau de vie cocktails. This time I again was inspired by the Flavor Bible to come up with this Old-Fashioned variation. Since pears go well with cinnamon and balsamic vinegar, I thought I just throw those three things together. Apart from that we also take a look at the […]
