The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
When I wanted to name a drink after the song ‘Birds of a Feather’ by Mocky, I discovered that someone beat me to it! My good friend Johann from Cocktailbart already had remixed the cocktail created by Carloin from Boston Tiki Party. Well, after over a year has passed, I finally managed to remix it.
I discovered this cocktail through the Geschichten aus der Geschichte podcast and their episode on Angostura Bitters. The recipe was created by Marshall Davis at the Gallo Pelón Mezcaleria in Raleigh, NC.
Ever since I got my hands on the Satoshi Curaçao, I wanted to mix up a Mai Tai with it. So, tropical month came as a welcome excuse to try it out. I can already reveal this much: It was a very tasty cocktail.
Let us end Tropical Month 2024 with a rather unknown tropical classic. Donn the Beachcomber created this drink which is named after the morse code for the letter ‘V’. This variation from Martin Cate of Smuggler’s Cove uses Vieux Rhum Agricole as a base spirit instead of just ‘gold rum’.

Yes, you could confuse this article with one only dedicated to the French liqueur coming from a monastery. Yet, in the article I also present a drink to you which is named after a Capital Cities song. Of course, the drink also includes Chartreuse…
Usually, I am pretty savvy when it comes to classic cocktails. On top of that, I also know a fair share of obscure ingredients. However, until last year I had never heard about Fassionola and that it was used in the “original” Hurricane cocktail! Yet, this gave me the perfect excuse to try the first […]
Great minds think alike: Some time ago, my namesake Instagram buddy Matthias Tetaert came up with a Mandarin Mai Tai variation. So, I thought I would start Tropical Month 2023 with the recipe I came up with around the same time. On top of that, I also had an excellent mandarin liqueur I want to […]
