Suffering Bastard

Continuing on my tiki theme, this week I have made a cocktail which is well known in the world of tiki. This is quite different from many other tiki cocktails, especially in that it uses gin and brandy as the […]

Singapore Sling

This week I have decided to make a cocktail that is similar to the tiki-style cocktails I have been making recently. The cocktail with its fruity characteristics and several alcohols makes the cocktail reasonably similar to tiki cocktails. One of […]

Tom Collins

When writing this I cannot believe that I have not made a post on the Tom Collins yet. With more than 60 posts I have neglected this cocktail. I have done versions of the cocktail; however, I have not done […]

A summery cocktail with drawing upon the elements of the Aperol Spritz. And drawing upon the Corpse Reviver no. 2. This cocktail has some characteristics from all of the mentioned cocktails. A gin cocktail or an Aperol cocktail. Wine and […]

Nameless Negroni

I am not a big fan of the regular Negroni, with the Campari being a bit too much for me. Whenever I want some kind of Negroni I prefer it made with Aperol instead of Campari. Still trying to find […]

Clover Club

This week I read an askreddit post about female things men like. One of the answers in the thread was regarding cocktails where they prefer girly drinks over manly. I would categorise the “girly” drinks in two categories, pink pretty […]

Alternative Aperol Spritz

Once again, I present a cocktail with Aperol. This one is a take on the Aperol Sour, the Aperol Spritz and the Aperol Collins. The difference between this and the Aperol Sour and this one is that this has prosecco […]

Jasmine

This week’s cocktail is one named the Jasmine. It is basically a white lady with some Campari. As this is not a classic cocktail, there is not much heritage to it, however that does not detract from this being a […]

Aperol Negroni

The classic cocktail from Italy, the Negroni, can be rather harsh for some people. Being made with the Italian aperitif Campari, the bitterness of the cocktail is off-putting to many. But there is an alternative to Campari for those who […]

Martinez

When it comes to influential truly classics there are a few that comes to my mind, the old fashioned, the improved cocktail and the Martinez. The Martinez considered by some to be the predecessor to the martini, and perhaps also […]

Sweet Martini

This is a version of the traditional martini, as it was done in the late 19th and early 20th century. During that time the martini was a cocktail with gin and vermouth, by specifying which kind of vermouth was wanted […]

Aperol Collins

The cocktail of this week is an Aperol Collins. Somewhere in between an Aperol Spritz and an Aperol Sour, this cocktail is a light refreshing summery drink, that would be recommended to anyone who likes either as an alternative. When […]

Bee’s Knees

This cocktail from the prohibition era, combines gin, honey and lemon, making it similar to the Gold Rush I posted last week. The story is that the honey was used to mask the poor quality of the “bathtub gin” that […]

It may happen that when you search for a specific cocktail with a certain name, another comes up with that same name. The Tuxedo is one of those cocktails. While both the tuxedo cocktails are of the Martini/Manhattan/Martinez-type of cocktail, […]
