The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I really enjoy sake, whether as a drink accompanying sushi, or mixed in Japanese-inspired cocktails. This is why I was very happy to have one a care-package by Akashi-Tai on my friend Serge’s page Hungry Thirsty Bored. Instantly, I came up with a sake based highball, which is light, but also very refreshing.
The Niemand Gin’s rose bottle already caught my eye a few years ago. However, I never got around to try it until now. So, to change that we are taking a closer look at the sandalwood forward gin today. Besides the obligatory Gin & Tonic, I had the feeling that the gin would be great […]
Today it is time for a vermouth review again. I already featured the Semi-Dry Gölles Wermut here on the blog. Now, Alois Gölles and Manfred Tement also created a red version. I was instantly intrigued because I primarily use this style of fortified wine in cocktails. On top of that, I already had a bunch […]
The third bottling of gin from the Kyoto Distillery highlights a special botanical also used in the other gins. Obviously, we are talking about green tea. Japanese culture and green tea have a deeply rooted connection and the Ki No Tea reflects that. Of course, this also means that I had to come up with […]
Pepper is not exactly a new gin botanical. However, when a gin producer and pepper experts team up, the resulting spirit should be quite interesting. So, when I discovered the new Windspiel Kampot Pepper Gin, I just had to give it a try. Apart from that, this gave me the idea of mixing up a […]

Today is the anniversary of the Quarantini Social Dry Gin. For this occasion, the folks behind this exotically flavoured gin release a limited edition of their gin. The Barrel Aged Gin even donates 10 € to a bar or restaurant of your choice. So, let us take a closer look at the amber coloured gin […]
As promised, here are the best cocktails you can mix up with blood orange eau de vies! Of course, a Blood Orange & Tonic is a great, refreshing highball. However, I also took a look at (modern) classic cocktails and added a bit of blood orange eau de vie to them. On top of that, […]
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 […]
The Ginquiry mentioned two new categories. On the one hand, there is Pink Gin which can be a little bit misleading. After all there is a drink made from gin and Angostura Bitters which carries the same name. However, in this case it is about fruity, bright pink gins. On the other hand, there is […]
