I bought some pre batched cocktails from Judith and Martijn at @rummieclub Amsterdam. It’s good to support local businesses as well, not just now, but generally. And even more so now, during these shitty times we are in right now. Judith and Martijn distill everything themselves, and it’s great rum. I know they just started shipping to…

Tokyo Ice Tea
TokyoWe went to Tokyo and Kyoto about 3 years ago, as a side trip. We had just got married in Australia, which was the second wedding. The first one had happened 8 months beforehand.When we arrived, it was spring, so Cherry Blossoms were everywhere. It truly was beautiful, and something to add to your bucket…
Cinnamon Girl
I made this drink tonight, as when I saw the recipe posted by Emily Burns, it took me back to when I was just a young thing, who thought he could change the world. This song Cinnamon Girl, was from Neil Young’s first album with Crazy Horse, way, way back in the late 60’s (1969)….
Shaddock Daiquiri
The pomelo has most likely originated in Southeast Asia and Malaysia where it grew wild. However as time goes by, the pomelo seeds were introduced all around the world and was planted in many different parts of the continent. It has been especially presumed to have been grown by the Chinese for thousands of years…
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. I’ve used The Sample Eleven Blended Rum, which is a rum blend created by Jürgen Vromans (The Whiskey / Rum Mercenary) & Erik Molenaar (Kintra The Rum Collection). This blend…

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…
