Dry January – Olive Hearts
I discovered the Dr. Jaglas Dry Hibiscus when looking for high-quality San Bitter alternatives. This hibiscus flavoured aperitivo just sounded perfect for a little NA-highball.

Dirty Love – Gin Eva La Mallorquina
Obviously, a great Dirty Martini only needs good gin and vermouth as well as some olive brine. Yet, it is also fun to add a little bit of ‘extra’ to the mix. Especially, if you have the perfect Dirty Martini gin on hand!
Summer Drink ’24 – June’s a River
Every year there is speculation about the new summer drink. In the end, what people really drink sill is the Aperol Spritz. However, this does not mean that you should come up with alternative summer drinks! In this case, I kept it as simple as possible.
Adeline – Axberg Vodka
The spirit category I neglect the most definitely is vodka. However, every time I do get a new one, I tend towards Vesper variations. Luckily, I also got my hands on a great grape marc spirit to pair the vodka with.
The Pink Phantom – Quarantini Rosé

Yet, I had to come up with a more elaborate combination without losing the characteristics of the […]

All The Wine – Gin Eva La Mallorquina
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 […]
