The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
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’.
I was wondering if you could turn the peculiar Arsenic And Old Lace cocktail into a tropical drink. While the Original is weird, its mix of ingredients is also very intriguing. So, I set to work and this is the delicious result!
It might be an underrated tropical drink, but the Rum Punch does deserve a closer look. Therefore, I came up with my own version. I actually mixed this drink back in 2022. This means, I am diving deep into the recipe backlog here.
I came up with this drink during Tropical Month 2023, but did not came around to write about it. Since this was a great combination of flavours, I thought I just post it this year. However, this also means I am not completely sure how I got to the specific recipe.
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…

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 […]
There are a lot of bitter liqueurs out there. Some are as bitter as Campari. Others are meant to be used as an aperitive. In this case, the folks behind the 20457 Hafencity Gin decided to come up with a slightly bitter and grapefruit forward Aperitivo.
When it comes to coconut rum, I am very sceptical. A lot of the times those flavoured rums taste artificial and way too sweet. However, the Aluna Coconut set out to be different. The folks behind the rum wanted to create a not too sweet rum with natural coconut flavour. Since, it is the first […]
Actually, I wanted to write about an entirely different cocktail. Yet, I again was inspired by Matthias Soberon and his Pain Killer Milk Punch. On top of that, I could not wait to put to use a caramel pineapple cordial recipe from the Tin Tin Bar in Stuttgart. In the end, I came up with […]
