The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I discovered the Scaramanga Rhum through my fellow bloggers from Zucker & Zeste. They interviewed Sven Sudeck who now promotes the Rhum. The Scaramanga is intended as an introduction to the relatively unknown category of Rhum Agricole. In this case, the sugarcane juice distillates come from three producers in Guadeloupe. After distillation the Rhum spends […]
I guess I am not the first to throw in a little passion fruit liqueur into a Hurricane cocktail. However, I also took the chance and am presenting the Planteray Mr Fogg Navy Rum to you. This rum just seemed as the perfect fit in this recipe.
Let us end Tropical Month 2024 with a rather unknown tropical classic. Donn the Beachcomber created this drink which is named after the morse code for the letter ‘V’. This variation from Martin Cate of Smuggler’s Cove uses Vieux Rhum Agricole as a base spirit instead of just ‘gold rum’.
Yes, you could confuse this article with one only dedicated to the French liqueur coming from a monastery. Yet, in the article I also present a drink to you which is named after a Capital Cities song. Of course, the drink also includes Chartreuse…
The idea for this drink was on my list for a long time. Finally, I got around to mix that Daiquiri / Ti Punch variation. Apart from that, I am also presenting the Clement Blanc Canne Bleue Rhum Agricole to you.
The folks from Kirsch Whisky were so kind to send me the current Distiller’s Edition of the Brewdog Lone Wolf Gin. On top of that, I also received a sample of Vietnamese rhum. Since, the gin has exotic fruits as extra botanicals, I thought to combine them both in a Sour suitable for late summer!
If there is a spirit I am regularly neglecting here on the blog, it is Cachaça. To change that, I gave the Magnifica Extra Premium a try. On top of that, I came up with an Old-Fashioned variation which was really delicious. Although probably no one else can recreate it…
Sometimes when you discover a cocktail, it quickly inspires you to come up with your own version. This was the case with the Apple Bondage by Zach from All Equal Parts. While I did not have any Bottled in Bond spirits on hand, I replaced a few things here and there and in the end […]
Simply put, this is my entry for Equiano Rum’s Interesting Narrative Cocktail Competition. Usually, I create a drink and then search for a fitting song as a title. However, this time I turned things around and created a drink for a specific song. Let us see how things turned out.
I guess the current theme is finishing series I started I while ago and did not finish until now. On to our “Incredibly Good Mai Tais” serial with two new rum combinations. On the one hand, I just combined a Jamaican rum blend with aged Rhum Agricole and on the other hand introduced some white […]
