The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Again, I am late with the review of an eau de vie. The Scheibel Distillery from the black forest send me three different eau de vie a few months ago. However, the Mirabelle eau de vie is the only one which I did not present to you until now. To change that I came up […]
The next drink I want to present to you comes from my long list of cocktail ideas. Every time a flavour combination pops into my head, I write it down. So, there is a list of 200+ cocktails I could try. To lower the amount of cocktails on that list, I started going through it […]
With our wedding on the way, it is hard for me to find time for writing. Nevertheless, I want to share this short article on a tequila milk punch with you. The special thing about it is that I also added some flavour to the milk. Let us see how the drink turned out!
It is no big secret that my favourite spirit category is eau de vies. Therefore, I am always happy when I am asked to come up with some eau de vie cocktails. In this case, the renowned Scheibel distillery send me some of their classic fruit spirits for mixing. So, let us start with the […]

On top of that, it took me far too long to review another bottling here on the blog. This time, the independent bottler 1731 bottles an eight-year-old rum from the distillery in Barbados. […]
Traditionally, eau de vies are distilled from local fruits and vegetables. However, some distillers experiment with more exotic ingredients. For instance, the Liebl distillery from the Bavarian Forrest produces a banana eau de vie. This was the perfect ingredient for a tropical cocktail in combination with smoky single malt, rum and an Amaro. Let us […]
I have a lot of cocktail books in my collection and they are a great source of inspiration. However, the problem is that I rarely make drinks from them. Sure, I flip through the book when I a new one and I always notice interesting recipe. Yet, I already have such a long list of […]
Usually, I reserve tropical cocktails for Tropical Month. Yet, I sometimes crave exotic cocktails the rest of the year, too. In this case, I built the drink around an Amaro, but apart from that I also used a special blend of rums. In addition to a sherry barrel finished rum, I also used a personal […]
