The A Moment of Silence from Maks Pazuniak – inventor of the Angostura Sour – also uses a whopping amount of bitters. To be honest, I am not the biggest fan of that. Yet, I could not resist to try this crazy combination.
Yes, I know March is over, but I still have one more agave cocktail to go. In this case, I came up with a split base cocktail using tequila and rye. On top of that, I also threw in the rather unusual Parfait Amour. So, I guess you could call it a distant relative of […]

Right after Negroni Week, there comes another week honouring a great gin cocktail: Bee’s Knees Week. Bar Hill Gin started this in 2017 and it is also a sustainability initiative. For each post with the hashtag #beeskneesweek Caledonian Spirits will plant one square foot of bee habitat.

Obviously, the drink can be too sweet, but if you balance it right you are in for an almond laced treat, just like this drink using the excellent […]
For the next drink in this series on American Whiskey cocktails, I made a Boulevardier variation. Additionally, I drew some inspiration from the White Negroni to come up with a kind of combination of the two drinks.
