My summer in cocktails ;)















Here are some of my favorite drinks from the summer;)
The blue cocktail is called Blue Train, it's lovely!!!
Heard it was made by the amazing Dale DeGroff...

The Longdrink is called Lynchburg Lemonade, and is one of my all-time
favorites!!! I Looooove Mr Jack ;)

Then there is the Sazerac, which is a fantastic cocktail (in a tumbler glass here)
It is said to be the first ever american cocktail, and obviously I had to try it - since I visited New Orleans this spring . (Said to be its hometown )

Last is a little idea I had late at night, (not too late) which mixes Passoã with mint. Tasted very nice, perhaps a little to sweet for my taste ;)

Ratzeputz


I just have to mention this german bitter, Ratzeputs, which is one of my favorites ;)

It has a strong ginger flavour with a kind of black peppery aftertaste.

It is also quite potent, with 58 %vol!!!!

I especially like it with sushi ;)


Cocktail of the week (42)


So, Im hooked on the gin cocktails :)

Gin is such an underestimated spirit these days, and I hope people will see that
it can be used in a lot more than Gin &Tonic or Dry Martinis... ;)

This cocktail has ALWAYS been my absolute favorite,

and I think it always will

White Lady

2 cl London dry gin
2 cl Cointreau
2 cl Fresh Lemonjuice

Shake ingredients on ice, strain into a prechilled cocktailglass.
Garnitsh with a maraschino cocktail cherry
