The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I am very delighted to share my first freelance work with you. Manuel Engel created a set of six different gins to showcase his ability to meet the customers need for individual spirits. I was very happy to create suitable and easy cocktails for each gin. Each gin uses juniper from Umbria and a specific […]
Yes, I featured quite a lot of different citrus eau de vies lately. Yet, there is room for just one more. Especially, when it gives me the excuse to revisit a drink I used to make quite often in the bar. Basically, it is a Cosmopolitan with lemon eau de vie.
The Pomatium Gin comes from the Domaine du Coquerel which usually produces Calvados. Since, it is apple and pear flavoured, it seemed like a perfect fit to pair with a lilac syrup.
My good friend Sepo over at the Galumbi blog came up with this drink in 2019. Yes, it took me quite a while to reshake this cocktail. However, when I am not the only one with an obscure ingredient, I just have to do it eventually.
Orange Curaçao is a staple of any cocktail or home bar. Yet, there are just a few high-quality ones out there. This new one comes from Satoshi combines orange eau de vie with Italian brandy and some sugar. I just had to try it in a Margarita variation.
I already made two variations of the Cameron’s Kick – the Kick Drum Heart and the Punch Through. In the former I combined whisky with a plum eau de vie and in the latter I discovered that Emill whisky from the Scheibel distillery works perfectly with Irish Whiskey.
This is actually the last drink I mixed in our old apartment. Yet, I was not happy with the pictures I took in a hurry. So, I remixed the drink and also used the chance to present you a tasty champagne.
Lately, I have been diving a bit into Scotch again. It might have something to do that I joined a Whisky regular’s table. For a first article, I chose the Glengoyne Cask Strength and I tried to keep things fairly simple.
I have to admit that I regularly neglect to remix interesting recipes. The reason for that is that I have a long backlog of already mixed drinks and an even longer one of recipe ideas. Yet, with the ‘Turnbuckle’ I managed to make the cocktail almost as soon as I discovered the recipe.
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.
