The Selkie’s Tears@proofcocktails.nl, Andy Aitken Well, he’s done it again, used an ingredient in a drink, that then I had to hunt down just so I could replicate it. I do hope he doesn’t find this kind of stalky, like in an ‘every breath you take’ kind of way. But appreciates that I think he…
One Eyed Willie
One Eyed Willie From Inside PassageSean Dumke from Inside Passage, Seattle in Imbibe Magazine Rob found this drink, then made the map, and the eye patch, and added the treasure. So. Went to work making the infused vanilla rum. Because, you know, I just had to make to it for him. He’s this man child…

It’s a Smoky Night in Downtown Amsterdam!Smoky nightRecipe from @wennekerdistilleries.nlWe have had some chilly but clear days the last few.

Spring Street Swizzle
Warehouse Charleston This was the 3rd drink on the menu, as one of my friends likes fruity.It’s a very spice forward, in a good way, drink. And I’m sure depending on what kind of Falernum you used, that would change the drink a bit. I used a Falernum given to me by Judith de Bie,…

Refuge’s Greenhorn
Recipe by Bobby Hengelstraat, Refuse, Houston I found this drink quite by accident, while googling around. The sweet sour bitter combination kind of intrigued me. It goes with our green dinner tonight. The delicately absinthian gentian liqueur subtends the cheekiness of the tequila and the lustrous melon flavor of Midori. I didn’t have a green…
Heaven’s Earth
Recipe by @cocktail.vision on instagram. Another interesting drink, me thinks. I saw this recipe featuring the Nectar de Brazil, and thought the flavours would wok well together. So I made the Nectar de Brazil especially for this drink. I had all the spices, and also had a chilli in the fridge, just begging to be…
