The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I always love to combine my travels with distillery visits. This time on our way to Vienna, we visited one of my favourite eau de vie distilleries – Reisetbauer. To make things short, the Reisetbauer distillery is well worth a visit!
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!
Today is Cinco de Mayo and I was asked to create cocktails with tequila and Mezcal from Topanito. So, this is exactly what I did. My initial idea was a deconstructed Paloma cocktail which coincidentally also ended up crystal clear. On top of that, I am also presenting an umami laced Mezcal cocktail to you.
If you are following my blog for a short while, you might notice that I am not only a big eau de vie geek, but that I especially love apricot eau de vies. I do not know why, I am not even that keen on fresh apricots. However, when they are distilled they turn into […]

The one drink is pretty much the original Godfather with just a splash of orange eau de vie added to it. However, the second cocktail is quite different from the authentic one. On top […]
