The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Here is another drink to reminisce on summer! A lower ABV highball which serves as a perfect refresher for the hotter days, or as an excellent Aperitif. I just wanted to play around with the flavours here and use rosemary as a garnish.
To be honest, I am not a big fan of spiced or flavoured rum. Still, I am reviewing a bottle for you and came up with a great cocktail using it. On top of that, this honey and orange flavoured rum based spirit has quite the background story.
I know that there are other gins out there using wine as an ingredient. Moreover, there are also gins out there which cooperate with famous vineyards. Nevertheless, I was very excited to try the new Windspiel Gin. They are extending their line of cooperation and are now working with renown vineyard Van Volxem. So, in […]
Well, if you come up with a gin recipe in record-time what is the next consequent step? Yes, exactly a non-alcoholic beverage which can be used like a regular spirit. This is why the guys (and girls) behind the Quarantini Social Dry Gin released the Virgin as their new product. Let us see how the […]
There are a lot of tequilas out there. However, excellent ones are a bit harder to find. So, I am very happy to present to you a tequila which fame precedes him. So I thought I combine the highly rated Fortaleza Blanco with another great spirit the Lantenhammer Rote Williams eau de vie. On top […]
Another great spirit I discovered at the Finest Spirit 2019 is the Gölles Alter Pfirsich eau de vie. It so good, that I just had to present it to you in a separate article. However, I was in need for a suitable cocktail. So, I went for one of my favourites the Negroni.
Finally, it seems to have caught on with spirit start-ups that the next new gin might not be the best way to start your venture. Besides the already featured German rum, Birds Weissbrand is another very interesting new spirit. Basically the Birds is a gin, made out of grapes, without juniper – but better!
The advantage of moving to a bigger city is that there are more opportunities on what to do! This applies for almost any hobby, but in my case it should come as no surprise, that I am talking about something to drink. This time it is all about wine, since I had the chance to […]
The whole gin thing was fun for a while, but I feel like the time has come to say goodbye! Of course I am somewhat exaggerating, I will still be enjoying the occasional gin and because I am a bartender I have to be informed about new gins coming to the market, too. Nevertheless, my […]
Sometimes you are just lucky, for instance when you get a call on Friday that you are invited to visit a gin distillery on Monday! In this case, I had the chance to spend some time in Saarbruecken to visit Ferdinand’s Distillery and some vineyards.
