The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
The Cameron’s Kick is a cocktail I unfortunately disregarded so far. Somehow, I thought of it as a “dressed-up” Whiskey Sour. However, when I reviewed the Busker Irish Whiskey a few weeks back, I mixed up a variation of this classic cocktail. I was in for quite a surprise! Although I added a bit of […]
For the next part in my quest to find the best rum combination for a Mai Tai, I basically just switched the rums from the first time around. Again, I used four different rums, three Jamaica rum blends and one from Martinique in the opposite combination. Apart from that, I kept everything the same.
Well, I love Mai Tais like the next guy. However, I asked myself how I could make the best Mai Tai at home. So, I started a little series to see which combination of rum and orange curaçao in my home bar result in the, admittedly subjective, best version. Today, we start with four different […]
Inspired by the New Ginger Mai Tai from the Seibert’s Bar in Cologne, I also wanted to create an exotically flavoured Mai Tai. However, instead of ginger, I went for Makrut lime and lemon grass for infusing the rum. Apart from that, I paired the spiced rum and orange curaçao with matcha liqueur to add […]
Well, it is again time to look at a rather underappreciated cocktail ingredient: Calvados! This very traditional French apple brandy is not very popular in bars, but it never fails to give drinks a perfect apple note. This is why I also had the idea to create a cocktail variation of a rather famous drink […]
Sometimes you are not really looking for a new recipe when you get hit by a flash of inspiration! Ok, I admit while browsing through the Starchefs photo gallery I often cannot help myself, but to create a new cocktail… Still, this time it only took one ingredient to get my attention: Peanuts!
This month’s Mixology Monday is all about nonalcoholic cocktails. – Now don’t panic and run off to Small Screen Network to get your fix! It’s about high quality cocktails, just without the alcohol!
In my opinion Sherry is a far too underestimated ingredient. That’s why I often try to come up with new drinks that use this fortified wine. I am especially proud of this one, because it was a bit of a gamble if the ingredients would match. Luckily they did.
One important recipe I forgot to give you during Tiki month: Homemade Orgeat. Throw out your amaretto like almond syrups, this one is different and better in almost every way.
If you like it hot, this is the right drink for you! It combines the classic elements of a Mai Tai with spices and the hotness of chilies.
