Psycho Killer

Liquor.com websiteRecipe by Jillian Vose, The Dead Rabbit, NYC ‘I can’t seem to face up to the factsI’m tense and nervous and I can’t relaxI can’t sleep ’cause my bed’s on fireDon’t touch me, I’m a real live wire’ We needed a little something that had some warmth in it, reminiscent of winter drinks. Well,…

The White Lotus

Recipe by @proof.tv from Insta.“These gays, they are trying to murder me” should be the alternative name 😊 I asked Rob what kind of drink he fancied tonight. I usually don’t give him a whole lot of choice. He usually just drinks what I make. However, last night, I did say, “pick a colour for…

The Root Reviver

Created by @monas_humanizeRecipe from @bobbysdrygin Bobby’s Gin is from a Dutch distiller, from Schiedam, Netherlands. They posted this for their King’s Day drink. We have a King here in the Netherlands, maybe you didn’t know that. 🇳🇱It’s the day after the other king was appointed, across the channel there 👉 🇬🇧Our King’s Day was actually…

How to Kill a Friend

From Imbibe Shouldn’t it be more like, ‘How to Save a Friend’? A slight twist on a Jungle Bird, with a sweet/tart taste. Yes, it goes beautifully with the smoky goodness that is Mezcal. Tonight I’m using Banhez, from @banhezmezcalartesanal, a farmer and family owned brand from Oaxaca, Mexico. I’m not really sure who created…

Patrón Paloma Roja

Recipe from @stephane.foisy.186 I saw this recipe Stephane posted yesterday, and knew I would make it. As it turned out, I had just made some hibiscus syrup just a couple of hours before he had posted this. I used a recipe from my @bohemianmixology book, and wanted to use it. I don’t have the hibiscus…

Ramos Gin Fizz

Mr. Henry C. Ramos I googled for the original recipe, and found this one on Epicurious. Then I cheated, and used my ISi Whip for the second shake. I had never had one before, nor ever attempted to make one. I watched a video the other day with @stevethebartender, where he tried 3 different variations…

Selkie

By David Jordan Melia aka @speakeasieruk Did I, at high tide, make my way to the shore, and there, shed seven tears into the sea? Maybe 😉 I captured my Selkie anyway. And another interesting recipe fromDavid. Again using my Orkney Akvavit. I think i would like to go to the Orkney Isles, just to…

It’s No Mimosa

From @thebitterfairy on insta Well, Paula created this drink, with me in mind, I’m sure. She states that champagne doesn’t improve orange juice, nor does orange juice improve champagne. I totally agree. I always think champagne is really like vinegar with soda water. I just don’t get the fascination with it. And never have. However,…

Last Njord

An original recipe, by David Jordan Melia @speakeasieruk I’ve already said a few times how much I love this book- Bohemian Mixology, with its usage of not so traditional spirits as forward flavours. And this is a drink I have been wanting to make for a while now. Akvavit, or Aquavit, is a Nordic spirit…

The Blacker the Berry, the Sweeter the Juice

From @married.to.mixology on Insta I love when all the berries come into season. There was a great selection today at the Noordemarkt here in Amsterdam. A top spot for a wander if you are here touristing. And also close to home for us. Rory & Jo are a cocktail duo, from London. And this drink…
