Terrible Love, repeated from last night, as it was so good. Then we had a batch cocktail from @moamoa.amsterdam the Lauwiliwilinukunuku ‘Oi ‘Oi- which was a mix of blended rum, pineapple juice, orgeat, Peychaud’s Bitters and fresh lemon juice. Absolutely delicious. Along with the prebatched drink, we also ordered some food. It was the official opening of @moamoa.amsterdam ….

Terrible Love
How often, I wonder, does a cocktail get named after a song?The National, hailing from Cincinnati, although forming in Brooklyn. They are up there with my favourite bands. The song itself, was performed on Jimmy Fallon, 2 months before its official release. The album ‘High Violet’ has some great songs, (well I my opinion anyway)…
Flu Shot
Another pre-batched delight from RummieClub tonight. This one, a blend of RummieClub Colourful White Rum, Lemon, Honey, Ginger, Smokey Pumpkin Spice, and Sparkling Water. “At RummieClub we are rum makers, this is our craft. We do everything ourselves, from fermentation until bottling and labelling. This gives us full control over all aspects of our rum…
Passionfruit Tropical Treat
I bought some pre batched cocktails from Judith and Martijn at @rummieclub Amsterdam. It’s good to support local businesses as well, not just now, but generally. And even more so now, during these shitty times we are in right now. Judith and Martijn distill everything themselves, and it’s great rum. I know they just started shipping to…
Blackberry Bramble
Another drink for February’s Gin month. And also another drink from a girl named Michele. I had made a Blackberry and Apple infused gin a while ago, even pre covid discovering home bartending 101 😉. I hadn’t used it a lot in mixed drinks, mostly just neat, over ice. But when I saw Michele’s drink,…
Galliano Sour
I got this recipe from the Craft Cocktail Club site on fb. And from a girl name Michele specifically. I haven’t had Galliano, since my late teen days, when the Harvey Wallbanger was an ‘in’ drink. (Along with Cinzano served with nasty orange juice.) My sister, Kathryn, and I used to frequent this place in…
The Paradise
When you need to be somewhere else, other than where you are right now. It’s a kind of blizzardy day in Downtown Amsterdam right now, so much so, that the snow is even blowing through the vents into the atrium of our building. So it’s something reminiscent of a tropical kind of place, to ease…
Hopped Kumquat and Cacao
An original. I saw a gin advertised the other day, Kala Gin, that had amongst its ingredients, kumquat, cacao, and hops. And I thought to myself, “I can do that with the kumquat gin I made a couple of months ago.” I had infused gin with various fruits, mostly for something to do while we…
Cardamon Rose Sour
The Cardamom Rose Sour is a fantastic cocktail made with a homemade rose simple syrup, fresh citrus, and bitters ~ it’s got a gorgeous pink color! One of the fun things for me to do, is make my own components to the cocktail as well, when I can. I recently bought an iSi Whip, and…
Tumeric Gin Sour
As with a lot of you, I’ve read this book. And wanted to experiment with my iSi whip as well.I even went so far as buying some disposable gloves for this recipe. As much as I hate single use plastic, I would hate this staining every single thing it touched. Fresh turmeric in food is…
