Foams are fancy. That’s probably the main reason I make them! Everyone is immediately impressed when there’s foam on a cocktail, and what we see certainly adds to our experience. But I have to admit that when I’m making a menu for my cocktail parties, I’m still a bit brute…

Bellini Variations with Bite(s)
Sometimes things seem to assemble slowly one piece at a time, and you’re not sure if it actually was your own idea or not. Or perhaps neither. This is one of those times. I think it started with Kevin Kos’ Rossini video: strawberry puree/syrup with a hint of basil and…

The Gin Laser – A Gin Showcase cocktail
By happy accident I created a cocktail that, it turns out, is amazing at showcasing different gins. At least in my opinion for the 3 gins that I tried it with. The Gin Laser recipe is quite straightforward: Shake & Strain I’ve tried this with Roku, Tanqueray 10 and Loft…

The Green Lady
|| Pistachio & Mint Daisy || Sometimes it’s not so much inspiration as brute force. This is one of those times, when you’re a man with a hammer and you’re just looking for a tempting nail. The hammer is a pistachio liqueur, and also white chocolate foam. So with this…

My Cocktail Typology
I'm sharing my custom, full-fledged cocktail typology. This classification is designed for every drink to have one and only one type. This post is long, but it has pictures :)

The Interstellar
|| Plum, almond & grapefruit Daisy || Do you remember The Intergalactic? That remains one of my favourites of all time, but it is not equally accessible to everyone. So that’s what we’re doing here, making the same profile but minus the cardamom-lemongrass bitters and more accessible. And boy did…

The Blossom
|| Elderflower, Rum, Eggwhite Sour || This origin story is pretty straightforward. I was throwing a small cocktail party for a couple of friends. In a small company I always enjoy when people ask me for a specific flavour pairing and I go and try to whip something up. Sometimes…
