Potion Approaching – Bozal Ensamble
This is the second White Negroni variation in a short time. However, I cannot remember that I ever made a Mezcal Negroni variation. So, to change that, I came up with this aloe enhanced recipe.

A Lick of Paint – Erber Brixxx 43 Gin
Who says that there are too many White Negroni variations out there? For this special drink I added a bit of extra gentian (& apple) eau de vie and lemon eau de vie. In this context, I am also introducing a new gin to you.
Days of Lantana – Gin de Cologne Mediterran
When the folks from Gin de Cologne asked me if I wanted to try their new Mediterranean Gin, I gladly said yes. This version of their classic gin seemed perfect for refreshing summer drinks. Well, as it turns out, it was – although the creation is not for the faint hearted!
Isaac – Bib & Tucker Six-Year-Old
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.
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 […]
Waylaid – Wilhelm Marx Genziana
There is a long-lasting tradition here in Germany to distil gentian root. However, most of the time these spirits are associated with “cheap liquor” which is consumed in old taverns and beer halls. Exactly the opposite is the case with the Wilhelm Marx Aqauvite die Genziana. Apart from the melodic name, the eau de vie […]
Be Nobody – Niemand Dry Gin
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 […]
Ages of Man – The Ascaim Distillery
I already shared my tasting notes on the Ascaim Distillery Quince Gin. However, today I want to take a closer look at the distillery and their products. Therefore, I created two completely different drinks which both have in common that they are a great combination of juniper notes and eau de vies. On top of […]
Big Climb – Zealot’s Heart Gin
When doing the Brewdog Spirits tasting in Summer, the Zealot’s Heart Gin lastingly impressed me. So, I had to give it another try and mix some cocktails with it. Of course, most people would just mix a Gin & Tonic with it – which I also did. However, I rather went for a White Negroni […]
Rainbow Body – Legent Bourbon
There are a lot of regulations when it comes to bourbon whisky. Nevertheless, this does not keep distilleries from experimenting with cask finishes. Yet, mostly smaller distilleries were doing it. With the Legent Bourbon it is Jim Beam who finish their bourbon in sherry and wine casks. On top of that, the whisky also celebrates […]
