The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I guess it is a bit late to post watermelon cocktails. However, when I made the drink back in September there were still tropical temperatures out there. So, this might just serve as a reminder of the next, overly hot summer to come!
I got a long backlog of drinks I did not get around to write about. However, the list of cocktail ideas is even longer. Well, this time I am presenting an absolutely delicious cocktail to you. However, I do not really recall what the motivation behind it was.
Let us stay with flavoured rums for a while. So, we take a closer look at the new spiced rum from Plantation. The Canerock uses Jamaica rum and local herbs and spices for its flavoured rum spirit. For a drink using it, I decided to come up with a sort of Hanky Panky variation with […]
In a line with last year, I came up with a tropical Champagne cocktail. This time it was inspired by the classic Hurricane. However, I also added a passion fruit jam as well as some Moscatel sherry just for good measure. Furthermore, this gives me the perfect excuse to review this rather new champagne.
Well, there are really too much gins out there. It is impossible to keep up with the already existing qualities and than there still are new releases. However, today I want to write about a gin which caught my attention a few years ago. Yet, it took until now for me to get around to […]
There are liqueurs out there meant for mixing and then there are high-quality fruit brandies which are almost to exquisite too be mixed.

There are more common cocktails out there and then there are drinks which are completely off the charts. In this case, the “Hispanola Buccaneer” is a crazy flavour combination which comes from the Berlin bar Beckett’s Kopf. It combines Clairin, sherry, two eau de vies and Verjus for a multiplex drinking experience.
Since we visited Passau, I wanted to study bitter orange spirits a bit more. Therefore, I had the chance to review the excellent Edelhof 1514 Pomeranze Eau de Vie. On top of that, I created a version of a Danish cocktail using aquavit and a very special Pedro Ximenez sherry.
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 […]
Well, today is St. Patrick’s Day! While I do not have a green drink on hand, I at least can tell you about an Irish Whiskey. Teeling Whiskey is very dear to me, not only because I enjoy their bottlings very much, but also because we visited their distillery in Dublin in 2019. In this […]
