Usually, when I think cocktails, I think of cocktails with fruity responsive flavours such as ginger cloak allspice pineapple lime etc. I rarely think of bitter flavours and Amari. These are flavours I associate with traditional non-tropical cocktails. Usually, these […]

For me, one of the principles they use when I create cocktails is that one should use ingredients which they prefer themselves. That means that I usually not provide a set of specific liquors when I write up the recipes. […]

Once again, I am back with a similar formula. A basic sour recipe with rum as the base spirit. I don’t have much more to say about the formula, apart from the flexibility of it. I have seen versions of […]

A traditional Barbadian cocktail which might or might not fit into this series I am doing on tiki. One of the reasons is the use of rum and velvet falernum. The reason why it might not be a tiki cocktail […]
