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…
Rhubarb Margarita
I thought a bit of spice and warmth was needed tonight. It’s windy and rainy here in downtown Amsterdam. I found rhubarb in a green grocer the other day and thought to myself “I’ll have some of that”, knowing it makes such a lovely hued syrup. Which is just what I did. And for the…
Watermelon & Black Pepper Margarita

Under the Volcano
Under the Volcano Recipe via Michele MazanecCraft Cocktail Club (Facebook group) Michele says this is her new favourite. And because it has Cynar, I thought, “why not!” Because so far, I haven’t found a drink that doesn’t work, with Cynar in it. I think it’s probably my most used Amaro, as a mixer, in my…
Chili Lime and Mango Margarita
Chili Lime and Mango Margarita Because summer in the Netherlands is non existent this year. I see posts from other places all talking about heat waves. Why, we even thought we were in one when we were in Italy. 36°c (97°f, for the Americans) is really, really hot, when it’s struggling to even hover around…
