10th Anniversary – The Other Way
This is the first drink I ever posted to Augustine-Bar.de. Obviously, I had to revisit it for the 10th anniversary of my blog. If you take part in the giveaway on Instagram, you have the chance to remix it, too.

A Christmassy Drink – Northern Lights
Just a quick recipe for St. Nick’s and the start of a few more festive cocktails here on the blog. In this case, I created the recipe for some tasty homemade pecan butter fat-washed bourbon.
Challengers – Giffard Passionfruit
The combination of passion fruit and vanilla is a great one – exhibit A: the P***star Martini. However, you can also easily use the flavours in a sour style cocktail like Empire Brick of Gin did. Basically, I just made a riff on the original recipe, but used a split of base spirits. At least […]
The B-Sides: A few different recipes
You know how it is, you have great cocktail ideas, but you cannot try them all! At the same time, when you do it happens that you get not to write about them. However, inspired by Torben from Empirebrick of Gin, I decided to publish some of them anyway. (It seems like I was quite […]
Holyfields, – Quarantini Winter Gin
After already releasing three different products in one and a half years, the folks behind Quarantini have launched their third gin. Obviously, there is no better time for their Winter Gin. On top of that, the gin combines the familiar papaya forward taste with seasonal spices. Quarantini also recently changed their good cause from supporting […]
Take Me Home – Tia Maria Coffee Liqueur
To be honest, up until now I never made the original ubiquitous Espresso Martini. I always replaced the vodka with another spirit. Somehow, it never made sense to me to combine coffee flavours with a rather neutral spirit. So, this time I really stuck to the authentic recipe. Yet, I am also presenting another version […]
Follies Fixture – Burke’s Seamaster Rum
For this article I am again sticking to rum. I do not know why, but I in my opinion the rum-market is really buzzing right now. So, today I am presenting to you a blended Caribbean rum from an independent German bottler. The Rum Artesanal brings together rum from Barbados and Jamaica.
Artifice – Dry January
To keep up the resolution to write more about non-alcoholic cocktails, I am presenting another one to you today. Besides a rather unusual tea it is also a bit more labour-intensive and requires making a bergamot cordial yourself. However, the cordial is well worth the effort. Obviously, it does not only work well in cocktails […]
Meadow Island – Bottled Cocktails
In these difficult times, you have to support small businesses. In the gastronomy sector especially bars are in dire need of a source of revenue. So, if you have a favourite bar, go ahead and buy something from them. In my case, I ordered drinks from the Schwarzes Schaf in Bamberg and the Seiberts Bar […]
AUATC – Quarantini Social Dry Gin
Well, in difficult times like these, it is essential to keep your spirit up – no pun intended. This is why I am again writing about the Quarantini Social Dry Gin. Luckily I had a second bottle on hand, because we finished the first bottle during the first lockdown. Again, I stuck with a rather […]
