The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Sauvignon Blanc is the favourite grape variety of my mother. So, we did a small tasting to explore the different aspects. With the seven wines we tried, I tried to show where Sauvignon Blanc comes from, what the most famous expressions are and what unusual bottlings can be found. All in all, it was a […]
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.
Our visit to South Tyrol really spiked my interest in the natural wine scene there. One of the vineyards, if not the most renown natural wine vineyard there is Pranzegg. In this case, I tried their Caroline bottling
To be honest, this was the first Swiss wine I tried. Yet, it is an excellent starting point. We had this at Christmas with Raclette and it was a perfect match.

I really did managed to come up with a non-alcoholic recipe without using caffein for a change. All in all, the different components all have an Arabic touch and just fell into place. It all started with sumac syrup.
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, […]
In fact, I wasn’t a big fan of the old sherry forward bottling ‘Story of the Spaniard’. Of course, it was not bad, but something was missing from it to make it special. Yet, the new Crimson Cask makes totally up for it! On top of that, I decided to mix a Black Manhattan variation […]
I guess it is no secret that I love Compass Box. Now, this is my review of their new Nectarosity whisky. On top of that, I created a somehow White Scotch Boulevardier version with it. As it turns out, the best garnish for it was in fact an olive!
