ENTER THE GALAXY - 60ml/2oz @Worldsendrum Navy 57 - 20ml/¾oz Raspberry Puree - 15ml/½oz Chambord - 15ml/½oz Lime Juice - 15-20ml/½-¾oz Demerara Syrup - 2 dashes Angostura Bitters Shake all with enough crushed ice / Open pour / Fill up with ice / Serve with a glass straw from @surfsidesips because it's #strawlesscocktailweek! 🍸🍸 In 2009, scientists discovered a chemical compound in a dust cloud in the middle of the Milky Way 🌌 that tastes like raspberries and smells like... RUM 😍 (Thank you, God!).🙏 This inspired Martin Cate of @smugglerscovesf to create a drink called 'Center of the Galaxy'.✨ Today's cocktail is a riff on the original recipe, which I made to look like a beautiful reddish planet.😊 Where, in my imagination, everyone gets a daily tot of Rum & Raspberries! How about that! 😘 (do take safety measures or you might end up like Franky 💀) Haha! . Star of the show, to amp up the drink, is World's End Rum new 'Navy' Rum, a blend of rums from Trinidad 🇹🇹 and Jamaica (Worthy Park & Hampden) 🇯🇲 aged up to 5 years. 🥃 The blend itself is not entirely new, as it was the foundation on which their awarded Tiki Spiced was based 🔥 though now it comes bottled unspiced at 57%!🍹 Anybody with me on a journey to Galaxy's Belly? Drinks are on me! ❤️ Drinkstagram, happy Fri-Yay! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #drinkstagram #tikibar #homebartender #libations #homebar #craftcocktail #cocktailbar #rum #imbibe #mixologist #bartender #lipic #mixology #cocktaillover #craftcocktails #cocktailoclock #imbibegram #cocktails

GLACIERS AND GRAPES (a tribute to @kinseyh) - 60ml/2oz @weisshornglaciergin - 30ml/1oz Verjus - 15ml/½oz @limonademirabel Apple & Cinnamon Syrup - 2 bsp Nectar PX Sherry - ⅓ pipet Riesling & Quince bitters Add all ingredients to a mixing tin with enough crushed ice. Give two 'short' (1-2 sec) blitzes with a blender (or flash blend) / Pour the result in a large glass / Garnish with Rosemary / Watch out for escaping hedgehogs! 🍸🍸 Time for another tribute-drink,☺️ as fellow Belgian Kinsey 🇧🇪 was one of the five winners of the 'guess the ingredients'-game.🏅 In honor of my Brussels-Based Booze Buddy (quadruple alliterations ftw)🎉 I created a blended gin drink, that combines moreish flavors of the Winter that just passed ❄️ with the experience of an ice-cold Summer drink, for the weather we've been having.☀️ Apples, Cinnamon and Grapes make up the flavor profile of this cocktail, which features a brand new Gin 🌟 as star of the show. . Weisshorn Glacier Gin 🇨🇭 is created in a 19th Century wooden cabin 🏞️ surrounded by streams and meadows in the Swiss Alps.🏔️ Twelve botanicals, including the local Edelweiss and Genepi,🌿 are individually distilled at low temperature and blended. Ultimately the gin is bottled at 41,7% ABV.🥃 Immediately after I started sampling, I wanted to combine the gin with Grapes 🍇 and Apples 🍎 which worked like a charm!💕 Kinsey, cheers to you, buddy! Hope you're not afraid of hedgehogs.😅❤️ Drinkstagram, have a great day! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #gin #drinkstagram #libations #homebar #craftcocktail #cocktailtime #ginlover #imbibe #bartender #itsfiveoclocksomewhere #lipic #mixology #ginoclock #cocktaillover #homebartender #craftcocktails #imbibegram #cocktails

TO THE MOON AND BACK - 30ml/1oz Navy Strength Gin - 30ml/1oz Racines de Suze - 15ml/½oz Yellow Chartreuse - 15ml/½oz Pommeau de Normandie - 1/3 pipet Bittered Sling Lem-Marrakech Stir / Strain / Serve Up / Garnish with a slice of Apple and Gorgonzola! 🍸🍸 Recently I played a little round of 'guess the ingredients' here on Insta.🍹 Today I'm publishing the drink that I featured for the game 🥃 which was ultimately won by the five people first to guess one of the unique ingredients.🏆 When ultimately all ingredients were guessed, it was obvious this wasn't a drink for the faint of palate 👅 with (a.o.) Navy Gin ⚓ Yellow Chartreuse and Racines de Suze 🌿 a brand new expression of the famous Gentian Liqueur. . While there was already a Suze 'Saveur d'Autrefois' as a more Gentian-forward version of the classic 🇫🇷 this Racines (Roots), even goes a step further: At a whopping 36% ABV (72 proof)🔥 and lowered sugar content, it's not for the weak, nor for the subtle...😅 Oh boy, if you thought regular Suze was already a 'love it or hate it'-liqueur, you haven't met Racines.😍 The slices of Apple 🍎 and Gorgonzola 🧀 came to (respectively) highlight the Pommeau and Gin, perfect for the April Challenge of @homebarawards! ❤️ Drinkstagram, happy Humpday! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #cocktails🍹 #drinkstagram #homebarawards #imbibegram #libations #mixology #craftcocktails #ginstagram #homebar #craftcocktail #mixology #cocktailrecipe #cocktailtime #drinkoftheday #coctel #liqpic #gin #cocktails

MESSAGE TO MY FATHER - 60ml/2oz @donpaparum - 20ml/⅔oz Lime Juice - 20ml/⅔oz Ginger Cordial - 20-30ml/up to 1oz Mango Puree Blend some peeled slices of ripe Mango until you have a smooth puree / Add to a shaker with the other ingredients / Shake with lots of crushed ice / Open pour / Garnish with mint, fruit and a leftover Easter Egg! 🍸🍸 I often get asked whether I drink all the drinks that I create...😅 In short, the answer is 'yes', though luckily (for me and them), my homebar is located at my parents' place 🤓 and most often, they drink along, together with any visitors they (or I) have over.🎉 I just adjust the amount of cocktails I make during 'a single session' to the amount of people that can drink.🥃 They just have to wait for the pictures to be ready. 📸😁 And often enough I let them choose some flavors or ingredients to work with. . Recently, my dad asked if I could create a tropical drink with Rum and Vanilla.🍹 And while there's countless of directions I could've taken this, I had just received a bottle of #DonPapa Rum 🇵🇭 the famous Sugarlandia [Phillipinian] Rum (Column distilled from local molasses and aged in ex-Bourbon Barrels) 🔥 which on itself has such an apparent aroma and body of vanilla, accompanied by candied drupes and hints of a fresh tropical fruit basket that it was perfect for the job.😊 Papa, this one's for you! ❤️ Drinkstagram, cheers to the new week! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #cocktails🍹 #drinkstagram #imbibe #mixologist #instadrinks #imbibegram #homebartender #craftcocktail #mixologist #homebar #cocktailrecipe #instacocktail #drinkoftheday #cocktailoftheday #liqpic #itsfiveoclocksomewhere #rumcocktails #cocktails

MAI EASTER TAI - 60ml/2oz @CaneIslandRum Jamaica - 15ml/½oz Campari - 10ml/⅓oz Dry Curacao - 20ml/⅔oz Lime Juice - 15ml/½oz Pineapple Juice - 15ml/½oz Homemade Grenadine - 2 barspoons Crème de Cacao Shake with crushed ice / Open pour in Glass Tiki / Garnish and serve with a Bamboo straw! 🍸🍸 I love all the themed Easter Drinks flooding Drinksta at the moment! 🐣 And why not combine it myself with the biggest Tiki Kick I've been on lately?🔥 I've literally been going through mountains of crushed ice, but more about that later! 🗿 For this cocktail, I had the idea of making a lovechild of a Jungle Bird 🐦 and Bitter Mai Tai 🍹 finished with a drizzle of Crème de Cacao while we're at it.🍫 Couldn't help myself. . At the base of today's drink, there's the 'Jamaica' from Cane Island Rum.🇯🇲 It's a blend of pot and column rums from 4 different Jamaican distilleries 💚 (Worthy Park, Monymusk, Hampden and New Yarmouth) 💛 all Tropical aged up to 5 years in ex-Bourbon Barrels.🖤 While it comes at just 40% it already has that beautiful rich and fruity Jamaican Funk at its base 😍 which pairs so amazingly well with pineapple 🍍 Dry Curacao 🍊 and bitterness of the Campari.🇮🇹 ❤️ Drinkstagram, cheers and watch out for incoming Easter Chicks! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #cocktails🍹 #liqpic #imbibe #drinkstagram #mixology #cocktaillovers #imbibegram #cocktailbar #craftcocktail #mixologist #homebar #homebartender #maitai #tikitiki #drinkoftheday #cocktailrecipe #rumcocktails #cocktails

FROGGY WATERS - 60ml/1,5oz @oliveginsupernatural - 15ml/½oz Alegria Manzanilla Sherry - 2 barspoons Green Chartreuse - 1 barspoon Absinth - 2 dashes Orange Bitters - 2 dashes Celery Bitters Stir / Strain over a long block of clear ice (cut to fit the glass with my @edgeofbelgravia Galatine knife) / Garnish with a Nasturtium leaf and gold glitter (both edible)! 🍸🍸 The idea behind today's drink was to create something that balances between Dry, slightly Savoury and Bitter.🥃 Think of a Dirty Martini and a Sherry Tuxedo on a lovely night out and having a bit too much fun.😁 At the base: O'live Gin, a Belgian brand 🇧🇪 using green olives and Provencal herbs in the botanical line-up.🌿 It's almost oily in texture, with Juniper and Olives in the lead.🍸 Add a beautiful Manzanilla Sherry and Green Chartreuse 🍃 to it and when you close your eyes, views of the Mediterranean are the first that come to mind 🌅. . Ultimately, the combination of Bitters and Absinthe really added a double layered complexity to the drink 💚 YET... I'm still wondering whether I prefered the drink with or without them. 🤔 Both had their charm...and if doubting, you have the perfect excuse for a second drink 🙆. The serve itself comes in a Collins or highball glass over a single, tall, cube of ice, cut to fit the glass.⚔️ (A set of Quality kitchen knives are mandatory for a well-equipped Homebar!) ❤️ Drinkstagram, have a beautiful weekend! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #cocktails🍹 #imbibegram #gin #drinkstagram #ginoclock #cocktaillover #craftcocktail #ginstagram #mixology #homebartender #ginlover #mixologist #liqpic #dirtymartini #homebar #drinkoftheday #cocktailrecipe #cocktails

A PASSION FOR GRAPES - 60ml/2oz H by @hinecognacs - 20ml/¾oz @beartenderpro Passionfruit Puree - 20ml/¾oz Lime Juice - 20ml/¾oz Orgeat - 1 dash of Aromatic Bitters - 1 eggwhite Shake all without ice with @vansiehome ball / Remove ball and shake with ice / Double strain over cubed ice / Garnish with mint and passionfruit! 🍸🍸 To keep the Tropical vibe going 🏝️ (and trust me, you'll see a lot more of these in the future) 🌋 I'm going all Passionfruit on you today! ☺️ Combined with Orgeat, Aromatic Bitters and Lime Juice, you get the classic Tiki Vibe and flavor profile going 🔥 yet using eggwhite and, more strikingly, Cognac as a base spirit 🇫🇷 it's like I'm doing a bootleg turn and leaving the exoticism behind...🍹 until you bring the edge of the glass to your lips and take your first sip. BOOM 💥 Springtime and Island vibes! . Yet, the reason for using Cognac, and especially 'H by Hine' 🍇 a beautifully grape-driven expression, designed in collab with renowned bartenders 🥃 is proving that Cognac is fantastically versatile and can bring life to any party, even exotic ones!🗿 Grape based spirits definitely were one of the biggest revelations of 2018 for me 🍷 and IF you have been following my journey for quite a while now (🙏) then you might remember it was THIS exact bottle of Cognac that sparked it all. ❤️ Drinkstagram, cheers to Friyay! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #cocktails🍹 #cognac #imbibegram #bartenderlife #drinkstagram #cocktaillovers #craftcocktails #mixology #homebartender #mixologist #liqpic #libation #homebar #cocktailrecipe #drinkoftheday #coctel #instadrinks #cocktails

THE JOURNEY TO WORLD'S END - 60ml/2oz @Worldsendrum Dry Spiced - 30ml/1oz Pineapple Juice - 22ml/¾oz Lime Juice - 15ml/½oz Blue Curacao - 15ml/½oz @blossomssyrups Pineapple - 2 Dashes Ango Bitters Shake with crushed ice / Open pour / Build a Ghost Ship and start sailing / Cheers! 🍸🍸 First of all: this 'garnish' is part of an ongoing gimmick with @kahosbar, @koktailmeister and @homebartenderuk.🙆 It took me about 20 minutes to create 🤪 and while it's obviously not a 'necessary' part of the drink (, I do think the visual epicness adds to the entire drinking experience.🤷 (Just don't forget to use a (reusable) straw!😅 I also urge you to join us on our quest to create an armada of Ghost Ships here on Insta. 💀 #ghostshipworldtour 🙋 Time to hoist your sails (and tag us when you do)! . Star of today's drink (apart from the garnish ☠️) is World's End Rum's new 'Dry Spiced' expression.🍹 This fourth release from the Belgian brand 🇧🇪 combines Rums from the Dominican 🇩🇴 Trinidad 🇹🇹 & Jamaica 🇯🇲 with 9 carefully picked botanicals 🌿 yet sets itself apart in the 'spiced category' by not using any sugar in its creation.🙅 In this cocktail I mixed it up with several classic exotic flavors 🍍 and after about two or three of these, you're probably courageous enough to sail any sea! ⚓ Cheers! ❤️ Drinkstagram, you're awesome! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #cocktails🍹 #imbibe #drinkstagram #mixologist #cocktaillovers #craftcocktails #cocktailoclock #homebartender #mixology #libations #homebar #cocktailrecipe #tikibar #tikitiki #cocktailoftheday #cocktailart #instadrinks #cocktails

SPICY GINGER MARGARITA (a TippleTrade with @_socialmix) - 60ml/2oz Tequila Ocho Blanco - 30ml/1oz Lime Juice - 10ml/⅓oz Ginger Liqueur - 10ml/⅓oz Ancho Reyes - 7ml/¼ Agave Syrup Shake / Double Strain in a coupe (don't forget to add the salt rim in advance if you like that!) / Garnish / Cheers! 🍸🍸 Today's drink is a #TippleTrade with my buddy Rodrigo 💪 better known as the legend behind 'Social Mix', a UK-based mobile cocktail bar 🥃 that brings the life (and drinks) to any party.🎉 I had the honor and pleasure of meeting Rodrigo last year during Junipalooza in London 🇬🇧 and we had a real blast.💥 He's such an easy-going, down to earth guy and definitely knows how to create a delicious tipple or two or three... or hundred 😍 so choosing just one drink proved to be delightfully difficult. . I ended up going for his heavenly 'Spicy Ginger Margarita'🍹 Though instead of using Ginger Liqueur in the drink and a Cayenne Pepper Salt Rim 🔥 I made an equal parts split of Ginger Liqueur and Ancho Reyes Chili Liqueur 🌶️ (and a bit more Tequila)😇 Add Agave Syrup to taste, but anything between a barspoon and 10ml should do the trick 😊 (depending on tartness of the limes and the sweetness of your ginger liqueur). ❤️ Drinkstagram, hope you're doing amazing! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #drinks🍹 #drinkstagram #cocktaillovers #craftcocktails #homebartender #cocktailsofinstagram #mixology #imbibe #cocktailoclock #libations #homebar #tequila #margarita #cocktailrecipe #imbibegram #craftcocktail #cocktailoftheday #cocktails
