It's time for #TridailyTrivia 13 🔥 Which bar(s) you haven't been to before is/are on your 'to-visit' list? 🍸🍸 Whether it's a local bar you've been meaning to visit for ages 🙈 or a bar at the other side of the world that you are less likely to attend, 🌏 share some with me! (Yes, I know it's impossible to list them all 🤷 just from the top of your head!🙆) . Nationally, for me it would be @koksandtales in Hasselt.🇧🇪 I almost feel ashamed that I haven't visited my buddy Rob behind the stick just yet, because I know what powerhouse drinks he can shake up.🍹 Internationally, the first names that come to mind would be @smugglerscovesf, @stocktonmixology HK 🥃 @artesianbarlondon and @deathandcompany NYC 🗽 in no particular order. Alright, it's your turn!😍 (For those wondering, yes that picture is my basement) ❤️ Drinkstagram, have a fab weekend! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #cocktails🍹 #drinkstagram #cocktailbar #craftcocktails #happyhour #mixology #liqpic #homebar #drinks #imbibe #shelfie #instadrinks #cocktailtime #mixologist #bartenderlife #bucketlist #cocktailoclock #cocktails

POT OF RUM AND GOLD - 45ml/1,5oz @Babbarossas Spiced Rum - 15ml/½oz Plantation OFTD - 45ml/1,5oz Soberon's Carribean Mix* - 2 dashes Soberon's Bitters Blend** - 1 dash Absinthe Shake with ice / Double strain over fresh ice / Garnish abundantly / Join the @barreloftiki event! 🍸🍸 I love Drinkstagram events, and try to join as many as time and means permit. 💕 So when @theamateurmixer asked if I wanted to join his #BarrelOfTiki event 🗿 I gladly agreed to give it a go, et voila! Things worked out!🍹 The specifics? 1️⃣ During the course of March you have to upload a Tiki Drink which 2️⃣ contains at least 2 types of the same spirit and 3️⃣ at least one secret blend of ingredients (like Don The Beachcomber's infamous 'Don's Mix' used for the Zombie). 4️⃣ When uploading tag and mention BarrelOfTiki. . For my drink I went with a split base of Rums: Frankfurt's 'Babbas Rum' (Ginger and Orange-spiced Rum with 'Carribean' origin) 🔥 and Plantation's OFTD.😍 Next I created my *Carribean Mix, containing flavors of Passion Fruit, Pineapple 🍍 and Coconut.🥥 To make it even 'more secret' 🙈 I dashed in my **Blend of Bitters', a mix of 5 bitters I once made, including Angostura and Peychaud's.🥃 Ultimately, some Absinthe and luscious garnish-overkill. What's not to love? 🙆 (Btw, feel free to get in touch about both secret ingredients 😅). ❤️ Drinkstagram, ROCK IT! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #cocktails🍹 #drinkstagram #imbibe #tikitiki #libations #mixology #drinks #homebartender #coctel #cocktailoftheday #homebar #drinkoftheday #liqpic #mixologist #tikibar #cocktailrecipe #itsfiveoclocksomewhere #cocktails

FORD'S GRAPEFRUIT KISS - 45ml/1,5oz @Fordsofwakefield Original - 15ml/½oz Campari - 30ml/1oz Grapefruit Juice - 10ml/⅓oz Lemon Juice - 15ml/½oz Simple Syrup - 1 eggwhite Dry shake / Shake with ice / Double Strain in glass / Garnish with fresh thyme! 🍸🍸 I'm very happy to announce that I teamed up with Fords Of Wakefield Gin from Yorkshire (#Partner) 🇬🇧 to design a set of signature cocktails! 🥃 The brand released their 'Original' a mere 2 months ago(!), in January 2019 🎉 and it's a real, genuine beauty: fully handcrafted, organic AND single shot-distilled!😍 Juniper and Coriander are steeped, the other botanicals (among which Orange Peel 🍊 Cardamom, Bitter Almond, and Cassia) are vapor infused during the same run.💪 All is done at a slow pace to isolate heads and tails 🙅 which are then discarded to maintain the highest level of purity! . Today I'm sharing the 'Grapefruit Kiss'! In this easily recreated, yet delightfully complex 'Sour-based cocktail' 🍹 their Gin gets supported by Campari (the first 'fit' I wrote down while tasting) and Grapefruit Juice 💞 finished with the classic trio of 🍋 lemon, simple and eggwhite, a match made in heaven! 👼 Served in a snifter, the result is a timeless Gin drink with full body and silky mouthfeel. ❤️ Drinkstagram, have a beautiful day! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #cocktails🍹 #ginstagram #gin #drinkstagram #imbibe #libations #mixology #ginlover #drinks #homebar #cocktailoftheday #ginlovers #drinkoftheday #liqpic #gintonic #mixologist #cocktailrecipe #itsfiveoclocksomewhere #cocktails

HURRAH! It's #TridailyTrivia 12: What is your favourite way to make a Negroni? 🍸🍸 The iconic Italian Cocktail turns 100 this year 🇮🇹 which is something worth celebrating! 🎉 Campari is doing it themselves with the #RedDiaries Shortfilm 'Entering Red' (of which I have a beautiful book! Swipe!) 📘 and a huge competition 🏆 but how are you? I'm pretty sure everyone remotely interested in creating cocktails has tried a variation at least once!🥃 (I recently recreated these awesome Ginger and Coffee Negronis by @aginthing_) 🍹 Do you have an own personal favourite/signature Negroni? Tell me about it! . For me, key to making a Negroni is using Campari.🍊 Change up Gins and Vermouth all you want, but the Italian Aperitivo is (IMO) soul of the drink.💕 I do love my Negroni's classic: made with (a solid) Gin, though, using other base spirits can result in surprisingly fun cocktails! Ever tried a Negroni with Sambuca, Aquavit or Rum? Divine! 😍 Then, when it comes to Fortified Wines 🍷 I love switching utilising Sherry, Port or Pineau.🍇 And ultimately, a splash of Amaro, liqueur or Bitters to finish things off makes life (or at least the drink 😅) more awesome! ❤️ Drinkstagram, have a great day! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #cocktails🍹 #drinkstagram #negroni #campari #homebar #craftcocktails #NoNegroniWithoutCampari #ginstagram #mixology #liqpic #drinks #imbibe #instadrinks #ginoclock #cocktailtime #mixologist #cocktailoclock #cocktails

MONDAY MORNING CRAWL - 60ml/2oz @arcane_rum Delicatissime - 15ml/½oz @rhumclement Creole Shrubb - 10ml/⅓oz Campari - 25ml/¾oz Lime Juice - 10ml/⅓oz Honey Syrup - 2 dashes Chocolate Bitters Shake all with crushed ice / Open pour in @libbeyglass_europe Hobstar Tumbler / Top with more ice / Garnish with mint and chocolate eyes / Crawl towards a new week! 🍸🍸 Aah, Monday morning vibes!😅 Even though I absolutely don't mind the start of a new week, at times I have to admit I'm not the jumpy, energetic, squirrel I used to be anymore 🐿️ and feel more like a Koala holding on for dear life to the weekend.🌴🐨 And while historically speaking cocktails were meant as a way to kickstart the day (make your 'tail cock') 🐎 I'll just have to live with the fact I can't do that, and just need more time to relax 😴 (YES, I am aware we have a kid on the way 👶🏼 so there goes plan A 😂) Neveretheless, on to the drink! . Today's cocktail is a delightful mix of bold, aged Cane Juice Rum from Mauritius 🇲🇺 (with predominant flavors of Vanilla, Banana 🍌 Candied Fruit, Coconut 🥥 and a slight funk of the fresh Cane), strengthened by an Agricole-based Orange Liqueur 🍊 and Bitter Campari. 🍹 To give it all some extra depth and volume: lime, chocolate bitters and honey.🍯 Whether this drink might give you the boost you need or not... 🤷 It was a very flavorsome tipple 😍 (and looks a lot like how I crawled out of bed this morning). ❤️ Drinkstagram, rock this week! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #cocktails🍹 #drinkstagram #imbibe #rum #mauritius #mixologist #imbibegram #drink #homebar #cocktailoftheday #drinkoftheday #liqpic #campari #mixology #cocktaillovers #cocktailrecipe #itsfiveoclocksomewhere #cocktails

VIRUNGA'S AZURE FIZZ - 45ml/1,5oz @VirungaGin - 15ml/½oz Crème de Violette - 15ml/½oz Blue Curaçao - 30ml/1oz Lemon Juice - 2 dashes Orange Bitters - 1 Eggwhite - Soda to top Reverse Dry Shake all but Soda / Double Strain in Highball Glass / Wait for foam to set and then slowly add soda / Garnish with lemon zeste! 🍸🍸 Created by Belgians 🇧🇪 distilled in England 🇬🇧 inspired by Africa 🇨🇩 Virunga Gin is a fairly 'young' brand with a very international persona.🌍 In the botanical lineup you can find classic Juniper and Coriander next to vibrant citrus 🍊 sweet floral tones 🌹 and a lingering spiciness.🔥 With it, I created this 'Azure Fizz', a play on the Ramos Gin Fizz, complimenting its floral tones with Crème de Violette 🌸 and its citrus with Blue Curacao & Bitters. . The gin came to be after the founders did a trip to Central Africa, where they fell in love with its nature and wildlife.💕 Their brand is named after Virunga, Africa's first National Park 🌳 which currently is (sadly enough) on the list of World Heritage In Danger due to deforestation and poaching. 💔 Hence, with each bottle sold, a donation is made to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund 🙏 contributing to the conservation of the endangered African Mountain Gorillas 🦍 that live in the foggy forests of the national park. ❤️ Drinkstagram, have a beautiful day! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #cocktails🍹 #drinkstagram #imbibegram #gin #mixology #imbibe #ginoclock #cocteles #cocktailtime #drinkoftheday #ginlover #liqpic #mixologist #homebar #cocktailrecipe #ginstagram #itsfiveoclocksomewhere #cocktails

A DAY IN THE SUN - 50ml/solid 1,5oz @Sipsmith classic - 20ml/⅔oz British Cassis (@whiteherondrinks) - 10ml/⅓oz Lemon Juice - Tonic Build all but Tonic in glass with plenty of ice and stir / Top with tonic and gently stir again / Garnish with mint and berries! 🍸🍸 Being on school trips as a kid was always a massive amount of fun.🎉 Nowadays, as a teacher, it's pretty much the same, the only thing that differs is that you return home feeling run over twice by a tractor 🚜 and it takes an entire weekend to recover. 🙃😂 Though this time it also meant I had to miss the 10th birthday of #Sipsmith 😭 and its first still, Prudence ✨ on Thursday! . It's no secret I have a massive passion for gin in general 😍 and LOVE to taste and acquire new ones 🙊 yet Sipsmith's classic London Dry 🇬🇧 has been one of the staples in my collection for the past four or five years, long before I even started Served By Soberon.🍹 Their products are innovative and beautifully created, from liquid to label (though it reminds me I desperately need to restock on their VJOP)!🙌 Yet, enough chatting! Let me join in the celebrations and grab me this berrified Gin Tonic!💕 Happy birthday to y'all at Sipsmith! ❤️ Drinkstagram, have a great weekend! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #cocktails🍹 #gin #drinkstagram #imbibegram #gintonic #imbibe #drinks #ginlover #coctel #drinkoftheday #ginlovers #liqpic #ginoclock #homebar #ginstagram #gin #itsfiveoclocksomewhere #cocktails

BRIGHT SIDIE OF THE ROAD (a Tipple trade with @spiritandspoon) - 30ml/1oz Reynac Vieux Pineau des Charentes - 15ml/½oz Amaro CioCiaro - 15ml/½oz Giffard Banane du Bresil - 30ml/1oz Lemon Juice - 1 eggwhite Dry shake / Wet shake / Double Strain in Coupe or Nick and Nora / Garnish with dehydrated orange wheel and red wine salt! 🍸🍸 I've got to say I've made a whole bunch of friends through Drinkstagram over the course of the past two years.☺️ Some people I've been able to meet, others I feel so connected to that it SEEMS like I've met them dozens of times...🤷 Karl, the fabulous content-creator and spirits- & barconsultant better known as 'Spirit and Spoon', is one of the latter.🥃🥄 Not only is he one of the most inspiring and genuine people I've met on here 🙏 he also has decades of knowledge and takes some of the most stunning pics. 📸 Yet always stays so wonderfully down to earth. . I'm happy and humbled to be doing a #TippleTrade with him 🍹 as Karl was one of the first major industry people I followed on here. 😍 I ended up recreating his 'Bright Side Of The Road', a drink designed as both dessert and digestif.🤤 I didn't have the original 'Amaro Angeleno' he used, so I went with CioCiaro 🇮🇹 and I changed up Banana Liqueurs 🍌 but my oh my, what a treat this was! Fresh and vibrant due to the lemon 🍋 yet ever so complex due to the complex combo of Fortified wine, Liqueur and Amaro!👏 Karl, this one's for you, my friend! ❤️ Drinkstagram, happy Friyay! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #cocktails🍹 #drinkstagram #imbibegram #mixologist #bartender #amaro #imbibe #drinks #coctel #drinkoftheday #liqpic #cocktaillovers #homebartender #craftcocktails #craftcocktail #cocktailtime #drinkoftheday #cocktails

BLOOD ORANGE PALOMA (a Tipple trade with @danmagro) - 45ml/1,5oz Tequila Blanco (@tequilaocho) - 45ml/1,5oz Red Grapefruit Juice - 22ml/¾oz Blood Orange Juice - 22ml/¾oz Lime Juice - 0-10ml/0-⅓oz Agave Syrup (to taste) - Soda Shake all but Soda with ice / Double Strain over fresh ice in large glass with a smoked salt rim / Top with soda / Garnish with mint and a wedge of blood orange! 🍸🍸 It had been too long since I shared a #TippleTrade 🥃 but I'm happy that my return to the concept is with one of Drinkstagram's most genuine, bubbly, sweet, guys around 💖 the one and only Dan 'Master of Puns' Magro.😊 For those who don't know my man, Dan's a producer, content creator AND published author of cocktail literature (SUCK IT UP)📗 with a ginormous love for Agave Spirits 🍹 Lip Syncing 👄 Savoury cocktails with an edge (still love the Noodle drink!) 🍜 and seductively pouring drinks in glasses. . Dan's list of cocktails to choose from was quite large, but I ended up honoring his love for Tequila 💁 reshaking his 'Blood Orange Paloma', a recipe so simple that it's genius.🤤 While Dan worked without any sweetener, I did end up using a little touch of Agave Syrup (probably due the tartness of my citrus) 🍊 but apart from that, it's an identical reshake of a delicious drink! Dan, this one goes out to you! ❤️ Drinkstagram, nothing but love! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #cocktails🍹 #tequila #paloma #imbibe #mixology #liqpic #happyhour #bartender #instadrinks #cocktaillover #drinkoftheday #buzzfeast #homebartender #craftcocktails #mixology #mixologist #cocktailrecipe #cocktails

Goodmorning y'all! 😄 It's time for #TridailyTrivia 11: What is your most actively used cocktail- or spirits book? 🍸🍸 I know this can be a tricky question, as 'your newest' book is often your currently most used 🤷 but today I'm looking for the one you keep reaching for, one you have devoured cover to cover multiple times...💕 That trustworthy companion for days without inspiration 🙍 or just a book that hits the 'exact' spot for you! . For the longest time, I would have answered either @deathandcompany 's First ☠️ or Sasha Petraske's 'Regarding Cocktails'.📚 The former because it's still one of the most 'complete' books around (imo), the latter because it was one of my first, and I literally recreated ¾ of its recipes 🥃 I'd even go as far as saying that book helped shape my palate! 🔥 YET, at this point, the 'Flavor Bible' has become the ultimate reference for my cocktail creations.😶 I go through it at least once per mixing session.🍹 So tell me, what's yours? ❤️ Drinkstagram, have a magnificent day! ✨ Hand: Charlotte of @nonadrinks. 🍸🍸 #cocktail #cocktails #coctel #homebar #craftcocktails #ginlover #drinkstagram #mixology #drink #itsfiveocloclsomewhere #cocktailrecipe #drinks #imbibe #instadrinks #libations #cocktailtime #mixologist #cocktailphotography #cocktails🍹
