The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
You know what they say: Better late than never! However, this time I am over half a year late. Nevertheless, I am presenting a rather special Margarita variation to you. Basically, it is a Fig Margarita, but the fruitiness comes from a fig eau de vie and some fig liqueur.
With our wedding on the way, it is hard for me to find time for writing. Nevertheless, I want to share this short article on a tequila milk punch with you. The special thing about it is that I also added some flavour to the milk. Let us see how the drink turned out!
The combination of passion fruit and vanilla is a great one – exhibit A: the P***star Martini. However, you can also easily use the flavours in a sour style cocktail like Empire Brick of Gin did. Basically, I just made a riff on the original recipe, but used a split of base spirits. At least […]
There are not a lot of ways to incorporate lavender into a cocktail. Besides using lavender syrup, or a lavender infusion, I went for a lavender liqueur. However, I also had to come up with a suitable drink for it. In the end, I went for a Last Word variation.
The “Amarillo” was the next beer I tried from the Gänstaller Braumanufaktur. This double beer is inspired by Bamberg’s bock beer and uses Amarillo hops. Since, the flavour profile reminded me a bit of exotic fruits, I decided to mix up a Beergarita with it.
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.
I do not know how many people have heard of the Rosita cocktail. This rather uncommon tequila cocktail basically is a Perfect Negroni with a combination of dry and sweet vermouth. So, to change that I decided to make a twist on this great drink! On top of that, I am presenting a very good […]
Politics and alcohol never mix well. This is why I try to stay clear of such topics here on the blog. However, if the spirit you are sampling makes a political statement itself, it is hard to do so. Regardless, the Empirical Spirit F*** T**** makes for quite the unusual spirit and is well worth […]
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 […]
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 […]
