The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Actually, I wanted to publish this post in New Year’s Eve. However, I only managed to finish it a day late, but I promise from tomorrow on it will only be Dry January content! Until now, I never had an elderberry eau de vie. Yet, I was too intrigued not to try it. Once again, […]
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.
It has been way too long since I went to the last spirits fair! To change that I got the chance to visit the 2023 Village Whisk(e)y tradeshow in Nuremberg. It was great to see a lot of familiar faces live again. On top of that, I also got the chance to try some amazing […]
This is probably the cocktail which I neglected the longest. I had the basic idea during Christmas time 2019. Now, two-and-a-quarter years later I finally got around to mix it and write about it. However, this also gives me the excuse to review a special port from Dow’s. On top of that, I also have […]
For this year’s St. Nicolas Day my wife came up with the idea to serve a drink in a chocolate Santa. However, it turned out that not every chocolate Santa is leakproof. Nevertheless, I came up with a suitable cocktail and added an ingredient I rarely use. No, I am not talking about the Douglas […]

In the case of the Adriatico Roasted Almond, things look a bit different. This modern approach to amaretto only uses natural ingredients and less sugar than others.
For a few years now, unaged Armagnac has been an insider’s tip. However, since regular aged Armagnac already is not the most popular of spirits, this probably will stay that way for quite some time. This really is a pity, because unaged Armagnac has a lot of potential in mixed drinks. So, the Chateau de […]
Right now rum from Fiji is kind of en vogue. This might also be the reason why Plantation released their second bottling from this small Island in the Pacific. I was a little bit indecisive as to which cocktail I wanted to make with the Isle of Fiji Rum. In the end, I found a […]
I somehow missed Negroni Week this year! This is somehow atypical for me, but I still have some great ideas for Negroni variations. One of them is not only composed of gin, but also includes a fabulous blood orange eau de vie. As if this was not enough there also is a new, limited Mondino […]
Excuse the long headline, but this is a rather big article! Not only do I want to present three different spirits to you, but also while all of them were really excellent, one of them just blew me away! On top of that, I am also very pleased with the cocktail which actually contains all […]
