Recipe from @ginza-berlin.com It’s just about spring time in downtown Amsterdam, the blossoms are just starting to bud. I could possibly have gone searching so I could use a bud or 2 as a garnish for extra pizazz. But I didn’t. This was last nights delight post seeing the Robin Nolan Trio at the Roode […]

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 […]

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, […]

From Difford’s Guide We had some friends around for some drinks last night. I did 3 planned ones, and then a G & T as the finish up.Firstly, we had a Sweet Tears of Mine. I’ve made this a while ago, and it’s a yummy drink. Sweetish, but balanced out by the rum. 45ml Cacao […]

Again a recipe from Andy Aitken @proofcocktails.nl 60ml Lapsang Souchong and Gunpowder infused rum1 scant teaspoon (3.5-4ml) of simple syrup (1:1)1 dash pimento bitters (or another aromatic bitters such as Angostura).Stir with ice and strain into a DOF glass containing a large block of clear ice. My freezer isn’t big enough to attempt clear ice. […]

This was drink #3 of 3 for the night. A brilliant drink created by Nathan Robinson.This drink uses Cynar, definitely one of my favourite ingredients. I have yet to taste a bad drink that uses Cynar as a forward flavoured taste. It matched up well with the New York Sour, but overshadowed the Suzette,Next time, […]

Next we had The Naked ApeI saw the Noah Oran had posted this drink. Rob loves monkeys, everything about them, from the 3 wise ones,to the Planet of them. So this was a fitting return to mixin as well. It’s a Martin Cate, Smuggler’s Cove recipe. So in honour of visiting that esteemed establishment as […]

This drink marks a return to normal for us, after 4 months of travel. Now we are home again, and things can go back to the way it was. Well, preferably pre covid the way it was.But like many people, I wouldn’t have started home mixing, had it not been for covid. I saw this […]

“Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil’s pawn. Alone among God’s primates, he kills for sport, or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother’s land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours.” – Cornelius reading from […]

Celebrate good times, come on! We are having some friends for dinner tonight, and drinks, of course.I’m going for a stew/casserole type thing, because it’s cold. And stews always lend themselves to winter dining. And, I don’t have to fluff around in the kitchen to much while everyone is here. That leaves more time for […]
