Northern Air – Stauning Høst
Stauning’s blended malt has been given a makeover. It now comes in a beautiful, unique bottle. This gave me the chance to review the Høst whisky. On top of that, I also created a cocktail inspired by nordic flavours.

Bergamot Morning – Juniper Jack Smoke & Oak
So, I guess this is two for two now, because I have another gin to review. I really like the gins by Joerg Fiedler. One of his newer creations is the Smoke & Oak gin where he cleverly combined barrel aged gin with smoked Lapsang Souchong tea..
The Ultimate Guide To Martinis – Part 2
Sometimes when you start a series, it is a bit hard to see it through. At the same time, even if you are concentrating on one drink, the versions are endless. However, let us get back on track with our little series on Martinis.
Home Bar Awards 09/21 – Bend Your Knee
So, this month’s Home Bar Awards challenge revolves around Bee’s Knees variations. This also means it is right up my alley, because I am a big fan of the original Bee’s Knees cocktail. However, since I did not get my hands on Barr Hill Gin which partnered with Home Bar Awards, I used a barrel-aged […]
Acquired Taste – James Cree’s Single Malt
For quite some time now, I wanted to come up with a drink using the Fever Tree Smoky Ginger Ale. When I got my hands on the James Cree’s Single Malt, I knew that this was the perfect opportunity to come up with a Horse’s Neck variation. Furthermore, we also take a closer look at […]

Blood Pact – Gänstaller Burned Malt

Miles from the Sea – Topanito Blanco
Today is Cinco de Mayo and I was asked to create cocktails with tequila and Mezcal from Topanito. So, this is exactly what I did. My initial idea was a deconstructed Paloma cocktail which coincidentally also ended up crystal clear. On top of that, I am also presenting an umami laced Mezcal cocktail to you.
Coyoacán – Fruto del Sol Mezcal
The second new mezcal I was able to try recently is a first for me. – This again proofs that there still is a lot to discover with mezcal. The Fruto del Sol Mezcal uses a mix of two different agaves, the famous Espadin and the lesser known Madrecuishe variety. This means that this should […]
El Búho – Bruxo X Mezcal Espadin
After the big initial hype, I steered a bit clean off Mezcal, because its intense taste was a bit too much for me. However, every once in a while I am in the mood for tequila’s “dirty” cousin and its smoky agave flavour. This is why I wanted to present the Bruxo X Mezcal to […]
