The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
This is it! To the day ten years ago, I started this blog and posted my first cocktail recipe. While I kept doing what I love, nowadays it is about finding the time to shoot the pictures, postproduction, writing and publishing. However, for my anniversary post, I have something special for you!
Usually, I am not for the descriptive names. However, this time the drink is exactly what the name suggests – A Julep variation using calamansi as the main flavour. Apart from that, I combined a wheated bourbon with rye whiskey for the spirit base here.
Yes, I know March is over, but I still have one more agave cocktail to go. In this case, I came up with a split base cocktail using tequila and rye. On top of that, I also threw in the rather unusual Parfait Amour. So, I guess you could call it a distant relative of […]

This is the last article and drink from my series of American Whiskey based cocktails. This time I came up with a drink loosely based on Sam Ross’s Paper Plane. However, apart from the lemon juice, I basically changed all the ingredients.
It took quite a while, but here is my cocktail creation using my souvenir from our Canada / USA trip. For the WhistlePig Piggy Back Rye, I chose an Old-Fashioned variation with Canadian ingredients.
There are rums out there for purists and then there are ones out there which get an excessive barrel finish. In this case, Dos Maderas through an intricate blending and ageing process add a lot of sherry notes to their rum.
