The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Sometimes a spirit gets so much praise, that it is very hard to live up to that expectation. This, very much was the case with the Transcontinental Rum Line (TCRL) Fiji Rum. On top of that, I made it even harder for the rum, because I paired it with other favourites of mine in a […]
Well, I missed the Secret Sante event on Instagram, but for the start of Tropical Month f.k.a. Tiki Month, I decided to still pay tribute to my namesake Matthias Soberon. It is just crazy how many beautiful cocktails he is putting out there every day. So, when Johann from Cocktailbart came up with a Chartreuse […]
A lot of Tiki drinks use fire. However, it does not do the trick to just pour 151 rum over a sugar cube. For a real Tiki-fire you need a secret ingredient. On top of that, I decided to come up with a Vulcano Bowl style drink using rum and cognac. It basically means that […]
It is week three in the Tiki month and we will stick to Tiki drinks with Amaros for a little while longer. As mentioned in the last article the Jungle Bird is a Tiki classic using Campari. However, the drink is a great base for cocktail variations. Especially when you have a new rum on […]
Of course, 2020 also has a Tiki Month and we want to start it off with a rather typical Tiki drink. Although, I have created a fair share of non-rum based Tiki drinks, it is also fun to get inspired by classic Tiki cocktails. This time it is all about a Missionary’s Downfall cocktail variation. […]
Before we go into detail about gin, I wanted to take a short excurse into rum. The Plantation Black Cask is a special edition which combines rum from two different countries. The 2019 edition comes from Barbados and Jamaica. I straight up thought about an El Presidente variation. However, it got a little out of […]
For the last drink in this year’s Tiki month (Yes, I know I am a little bit too late) I decided to revisit an old favourite of mine. The Doctor Cocktail is a great drink using Swedish Punsch. So, I brewed up a batch of Swedish Punch and got to mixing. I ended up with […]
After the short detour from Tiki month with last weeks Finest Spirits article, we are back to Tiki drinks. This time I built the “New Waves” cocktail around a mango purée my sister brought back from El Salvador. While I had a few ideas on my end, I decided to again use the Foodpairing website. […]
For the beginning of this years Tiki month, I thought I start with a variation of the Jungle Bird cocktail. This slightly unusual Tiki drink pairs fruity pineapple with bitter Campari. However, who said that you can only use dark rum in this cocktail?
Finally, towards the end of this year’s Tiki month there is some rum! However, instead of creating a completely new recipe, I decided to recycle one of my oldest creations, the Plantation Coffee. In the original article I suggested a mix of white Cuban rum and Jamaican rum. Yet, going back to the real roots […]
