It’s a Smoky Night in Downtown Amsterdam!Smoky nightRecipe from @wennekerdistilleries.nlWe have had some chilly but clear days the last few. And while there is no visible smoke, the smell of peoples wood fires is saturating the air, in a good, snuggly way. It’s very gezellig.Gezellig is a word that encompasses the heart of Dutch Culture.

Michele Mazanec first posted this in Craft Cocktail Club on FB. Then Karen MacLeod also posted that she made it. So I felt it should be good. I just didn’t have the fancy rose buds that they do, so had to make do with a chintzy peacock, to suffice for Frida’s fancy head gear she […]

But just superb, if you, like me, are a Mezcal fan. I followed Andy’s advice, and used Verde Momento Mezcal. This brand has many different labels for […]
The Smokin’ Prick That’s what I’m going to call this. I found some Prickly Pear fruits at a local greengrocer up on Spaarndamerstraat, a street close by me. So thought ‘why not try some syrup with these 💡’ And then after a bit of tasting, and pfaffing about, experimenting, thought this combination worked great. I’m […]
