Enjoy alcohol responsibly. Here are some tips and advice on enjoying it sensibly.
How to develop new cocktails
Let me tell you how I do it. Create great new cocktails. It’s the fun part of mixology.
Black Mexicana #2
Black Mexicana #2 is a modern take on a Black Russian. Better too with more depth and complexity.
Grapefruit cocktails
2 grapefruit cocktails. One an in-house development. The other from a mid-80s cocktail book.
Vermouth – back in fashion for cocktail making
Vermouth is a key cocktail ingredient and as such is the 6th of my liqueur types. You need some to make both classic and modern cocktails.
Cocktail liqueurs
Cocktail ingredients as part of your liqueur collection tend to be French or Dutch. They include fruit brandies, curacaos, triple sec and creme de … products
Herbal liqueurs
Herbal liqueurs have a lot to offer cocktail making with a range of styles and colours. From delicate St. Germain elderflower to powerful Chartreuse.
Nogroni & variants
Try this alcohol free version of a classic cocktail. The Nogroni fits the bill.
Non-alcoholic spirits and liqueurs collection
I’ve been building a collection of non-alcoholic spirits and liqueurs. Here’s why.
Fruit based liqueurs
Have a good selection of fruit based liqueurs in your spirits and liqueurs collection. They are versatile and a key component of both new cocktails and the old classics.
Cream liqueurs
The smallest part of my collection. Only 2 bottles needed for creamy cocktails. Baileys and Advocaat are classics though.
Some products are older than you!
