Captain Smith

This recipe comes from Michael Bentley, from Tiki Recipes and he himself gives credit to Greg Easter for its creation. I used a Cuban Rum, Ron La Progresiva- touted as Cuba’s finest treasure What is kind of amazing about this particular rum, is apparently it’s much more readily available in Europe that in the USA….

Monkey Man

Having some neighbours over for a drink, socially distance applied, of course. I had to come up with 2 drinks that would be different, but along a similar theme. I chose these, because both have the potential to make you think you are somewhere else, which, I think, is what just about everyone is craving…

The Act of Contrition

Tonight, in downtown Amsterdam, I’ve made (drum roll please) The Act of Contrition Recipe from Torgny Nilsson-Tiki Recipes And then adapted from Nashville’s Pinewood Social.

Poyjuice Potion Recipe

A second Pandan cocktail of the evening after “Holiday in the Fourth Republic”. This one was not quite as flavourful but still had the nutty-vanilla type vibe to it. Almost tasted more as a dessert cocktail or a drink that would go very well with spicy Indonesian food. 22.5ml Gin- Bombay Sapphire 22.5ml Pisco 15ml…

Holiday in the Fourth Republic

I made the Pandan syrup especially for these 2 drinks tonight. The aroma of Pandan is quite intoxicating to the senses, with smells of vanilla, but at the same time, had a nutty smell, similar to Basmati Rice. It’s a green, leafy, sort of grassy taste, but not really comparable to anything else. Don’t be…

So here we are in the Tuscan Countryside, sipping on this little beauty. 45ml Pear Vodka-Grey Goose la Poire 22.5ml Limoncello 22.5ml Ginger Liqueur 15ml Simple Syrup 30ml Orange Juice Recommended garnish is dried pear, (but I have fresh ones) and mint.
