The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Usually I keep good track of the drinks I want to write about. Yet, this one slipped through my net, because I accidentally marked it as already published. Nevertheless, this Sazerac variation uses an interesting PX cask rum as well as a “tailored” bitter blend.
When the Josephinenhütte No. 10 eau de vie glass was released, it sold out within 72 hours. So, I was even happier when a little package showed up at my doorstep. Kurt Joseph Zalto designed the glass for high-quality eau de vies and this is what I tried from it.
This is actually the last drink I mixed in our old apartment. Yet, I was not happy with the pictures I took in a hurry. So, I remixed the drink and also used the chance to present you a tasty champagne.
Obviously, if you get your hands on a high-quality spirit, you first enjoy it on its own. However, even when it seems exuberant, excellent spirits may result in outstanding cocktails. This is why I decided to pair the lavish mirabelle plum eau de vie from Spiritus Rex with a limited edition rum from Barbados in […]
Lantenhammer just recently released a new line of barrel aged eau de vies. I already liked their Slyrs barrel aged bottlings, but in this case they aged their regular plum eau de vie in brandy barrels. On top of that, I am currently in the mood for Armagnac cocktails. So, I combined the eau de […]

I already reviewed the Tesla Sljivo six years ago. So, I thought it is again time to take a look at this Croatian plum eau de vie created in Frankfurt. Named after the famous Croatian inventor, the Tesla gives a traditional Croatian eau de vie a new look. On top of that, for a drink […]
If you remember my article on the Spiritus Rex Krete, there are a lot of wild plums out there with strange names. The Brand von Rottaler Kriacherl from the Engel distillery is one of them. This time I went for the Manhattan variation I already craved when writing the other article. Yet, in the end […]
The second spirit from Empirical I want to present to you is also – let‘s call it „special“ – as the first one. „The Plum, I Suppose“ uses plum kernels as its base. Nevertheless, inspired by a Irish Coffee variation from Empirical, I came up with a coffee cocktail. The drink makes perfect use of […]
