COCO AND APPLE - 90ml/3oz Cloudy Apple Juice - 15ml/½oz @candicosugarsoftheworld Coconut Blossom Syrup [#sponsored] - 20ml/⅔oz Lime Juice - 30-45ml/1-1,5oz Indian Tonic Shake all but tonic / strain over fresh ice / Top with tonic and stir gently / Garnish / Enjoy! 🥥🥥 I teamed up with #CandicoSugarsOfTheWorld a third time to bring you another recipe with their Organic Coconut Blossom Sugar.🌸 As with the previous two recipes, I created a syrup (swipe) 🥃 yet this time, I used 2 parts Sugar to 1 part Water in stead of equal parts, to intensify the complexity of the syrup and add a richer texture to the drink. . In today's alcoholfree serve, I combined the Syrup with Lime juice and Apple Juice.🍎 A moreish combination that gets the right amount of fraicheur and fizz through the addition of Indian Tonic.🍹 If you need more tips on what to do with the syrup after making this delightful alcoholfree sip: Do like me and try it over ice-cream 🍨 or pancakes (DAYUMMM) during one of your #sweetlittlemoments! So good! ❤️ Drinkstagram, what is your fav way of using coconut in drinks? 🥥🥥 #coconutblossom #prpl #alcoholfree #mocktail #drinkstagram #cocktaillovers #f52grams #homemade #noalcohol #cocktailrecipe #coconutsugar #homebar #drinkoftheday #drinkup #bartenderlove #mocktails

POMEGRANATE RUM JULEP (a Tribute to @liqculture) • 60ml/2oz Blended Aged Rum (1731: Central America) • 10ml/.30oz Homemade Grenadine • 1/3 barspoon Pomegranate Molasses • 1 dash Angostura Bitters • 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper • Mint leaves Gently muddle mint / Add other ingredients and fill glass 2/3 with crushed ice / Stir things up / Add more ice and garnish / Cheers! 🍸🍸 When Monica and I noticed we both have our own way of creating tributes here on Drinkstagram (She has #LCFeature and I have #TributeToTheGram) 😍 we decided to take it to the next level and do something for each other, 😊 which is an absolute honor for me! . Monica is one of the most bubbly and passionate people on the 'Gram ✨ and all her recipes radiate with awesomeness.🍹 I ultimately ended up choosing one of her Juleps 🥃 perfect for the time of year; with Summer slowly turning into Fall. . The base of the Julep, rather than Whiskey, was a lightly aged Guyanese Demerara Rum. 🇬🇾 Since I didn't have the specific one she used, I decided to go for a blend of Rums from Guatemala 🇬🇹 Belize 🇧🇿 and Panama 🇵🇦 and used homemade Pomegranate Syrup (and molasses) in stead of Sugar and Pomegranate Juice ⚖️ to rebalance mouthfeel and flavor. 👅 Thanks for always inspiring, Monica! ❤️ Drinksta, happy Humpday! 🍸🍸 #homebartender #cocktailsofinstagram #liqpic #mintjulep #drinks #rumcocktails #sonyalpha7iii #classiccocktails #foodphotography #cocktailrecipe #instadrinks #imbibegram #coctel #imbibe #drinkstagram #cocktailculture

WTF 2.0 (a Tribute to @sheepishjen) • 45ml/1.5oz Blended Aged Rum (1731: British West Indies) • 22ml/.75oz Giffard Banane Du Brésil • 15ml/.5oz Mezcal (Los Fuertes Tobala) • 7ml/.25oz Absinthe • 2d Grapefruit Bitters Stir / Strain Up / Garnish / Enjoy! 🍸🍸 When it comes to choosing drinks for my #TributeToTheGram series 😘 I always wonder whether to pick a drink that almost has a signature feel of the person, or pick a drink that stands out in a less expected way🤷. . When I think of (sheepish) Jen Erickson 🐑 I expect moody and dark cocktails, often consisting of many obscure, bitter, ingredients...🥃 And then there was her 'WTF': a three ingredient drink, based on 1.5 shot Mezcal Espadin, 1 shot Giffard Banane and .5 shot Absinthe.🙃 It literally left me with a 'WTF?' seeing it came from her. . But the very same day I recreated it, and dang, it was good!😍 Yet, I couldn't help playing with it! I took some Rum, Grapefruit Bitters, a more grassy rather than smoky Mezcal and created this riff.🍹 Less bold, a bit more playful, but 100% a tribute to Jen and her rabbithole creations! 💞 Drinkstagram, who else should I feature in this series?! 🍸🍸 #cocktail #rumlover #mezcal #tobala #absinth #drinkoftheday #cheers #sonyalpha7iii #tamron2875 #drinkstagram #imbibegram #craftedmixology #bestcocktails #cocktailrecipe #homebar #cocktailsofinstagram #blackmarble

Served To Soberon: The 'Pine Up' at Life is Beautiful, Brussels 🇧🇪 A low-ABV longdrink based on two amaros and double pineapple fun.🍍 LIB is a relaxed bar in the Dansaert-area. The place has a vibrant atmosphere and great cocktails.🍹 Thanks Herbert for the great hospitality. --- Pineapple infused Gran Classico / Pineapple Gum Cordial / Lime Juice / Fernet Branca / Tonic / Boker's Bitters. --- 🥃 by @herbertbritosantos at @libcocktailbar 📸 by @ServedBySoberon --- #servedtosoberon #cocktailbar #worldsbestbars #brussels #bruxelles #feedfeed #cocktailoclock #lowabv #sonyalpha7iii #visitbrussels #belgianbar #itsfiveoclocksomewhere #fernetbranca

VirGIN Mojito • 45ml/1,5oz Saint • 15ml/.5oz Lime Juice • 15ml/.5oz Cane Syrup • Mint leaves • FeverTree Mediterranean Tonic Gently(!) muddle mint in glass / Add all but tonic and fill glass with crushed ice / Swizzle it up / Top with Tonic / Stir / Add more ice / Garnish! 🍸🍸 When it comes to Non-Alcoholic-Distillates, the same comments arise over and over again: 'It's expensive water'💧 'There's nothing I can do with it'🤷 'I hate they call themselves THIS or THAT...' 😤 And it kind of tires me.🙄 Yes, everyone is obviously entitled to their opinion and preferences, but why not put some of that energy in trying to create something fun with them in stead? 💚 There's no denying they're here to stay and have already left their mark on the evolution of no- and lo- ABV drinks 🍹. . A couple of weeks ago I had a visitor in the #CocktailDungeon, who brought me a bottle of 'Saint', a South African Juniper-forward Alcoholfree Distillate.🇿🇦 He didn't come to sell his product, to prove me it's the next hype, nor to convince me it was the best of its kind.🙆 Mattias (what's in a name 🤓) just asked me: "What would YOU create with this?"... 🙏 And I absolutely loved every minute of our afternoon, with the above drink one of several results. ❤️ Drinkstagram, here's to creativity, whether it's high-proof, low-proof or zero proof!! 🍸🍸 #ServedBySoberon #virginmojito #mojito #mocktail #drinkoftheday #alcoholfree #designateddriver #responsibledrinking #feedfeed #liqpic #homebartender #cocktailrecipes #noalcohol #nonalcoholic #lowabv #tonicwater #fevertree

HOP CUTTER - 30ml/1oz Lightly Aged Blended Rum - 30ml/1oz Oude Genever - 22ml/.75oz Orange Juice - 22ml/.75oz Lemon Juice - 15ml/.5oz Orgeat - Kwak Beer to top HOW: Shake all but beer with crushed ice / Open pour in glass / Top with Amber Ale straight from tap / Garnish / Enjoy! 🍺🍺 It's time for my second beer-cocktail in collaborating with @thebeerhawk and @hopt, who kindly provided me with their PerfectDraft Machine.🍺 Today's creation is a riff on the classic 'Fog Cutter', one of Trader Vic's most well-known concoctions 🔥 next to the Mai Tai and Scorpion. . The drink has the ideal template to play with; with its combination of multiple spirits, fruit juices, a sweetener and light-ABV float on top.🍹 After my pairing of Beer and Old Genever 🌾 a couple of days ago, I found the cocktail's foundations a perfect match to showcase the herbal, hoppy and faint exotic qualities 🍌 of the Pauwel Kwak Beer I had on tap! . (#partner) If you're into pouring your own pub-style beer at home, then you still have until August 31 to use 'SOBERON10' for free shipping within the EU on the PerfectDraft-machine, the packs, or bundles of 3 kegs.🍻 If you're in the UK 🇬🇧 you even get an extra 10% off on the Starter Bundle via The Beerhawk! 🎉 All info can be found via my blog. Drinkstagram, cheers, proost, skol! 🍺🍺 #perfectdraft #pauwelkwak #belgianbeer #liqpic #imbibegram #beeroclock #homebar #mancave #kwakbeer #speakeasy #fogcutter #tikibar #tikicocktails #maitai #onagenevermission #genever #belgianbar

Sip - sipper - sipst! Time to change things up around here! 🍹🍹 A couple of days ago I was talking about some projects and changes I was gonna start introducing to Served By Soberon 🤗 The first one actually already was in effect 1️⃣ The permanent return of the #TributeToTheGram Series.❤️ It won't be on a specific day of the week (because I'm too chaotic for that 🤪), but I am (and will be) actively working on giving YOUR recipes more exposure, you ALL deserve it! . A second change was already made way back during Negroni Week 😊 with me publishing a cocktail that was served TO me in stead of BY me. 2️⃣ This series, named #ServedToSoberon, could be of great use for people (mainly travelling through Belgium 🇧🇪) who want some bar-recommendations! I'm more frequently going to be sharing the best drinks I'm being served, introducing you to the talent behind it. . Lastly (and I guess not everyone is waiting for this 😂) 3️⃣ but I'm gonna be featuring myself more often as well. The past months I had the disgusting feeling SBS was becoming a bit too much of a 'brand', and my God, it isn't. 💀 SBS is me, just a guy who loves both creating and drinking cocktails and who wants to have fun. 💕 To all those who kept reading: nothing but love! 🍸🍸 #timeforachange #servedbysoberon #homebar #cocktailrecipe #feedfeed #liqpic #drinkstagram #tikicocktails #dadsofinstagram #ineedadrink #ghentbelgium #drinkoftheday #ginstagram #belgischeblogger #belgianblogger

What better way to celebrate #NationalRumDay than with a Double Daq Attack? 🍸🍸 On your left 👈 there's a Classic Daiquiri: based on a 5 year old Cuban Rum by independent bottler '1731- Fine and Rare', lime juice and Demerara Syrup. 🇨🇺 On the right 👉 an Agricole Daiquiri, made with Rhum Clement VSOP, lime juice and Sirop de Canne, ✨ both in a 6:3:2 ratio, my personal standard pouring for a Daq. -- Which R(h)ums and what ratio do you prefer for your own perfect Daiquiri, Rumlovers? Let me know! 💕 Drinksta, happy Friyay! 🍸🍸 #daiquiri #servedbysoberon #homebartender #cocktailrecipes #drinkspiration #daiquiris #strawberrydaiquiri #elfloridita #itsfiveoclocksomewhere #libbeyglass #tikidrinks #cubanrum #rhumagricole #rhumclement #rumlover

HIBISCUS XO • 60ml/2oz Ableforth's Rumbullion XO • 30ml/1oz Lime Juice • 22ml/¾oz Hibiscus Syrup • 15ml/½oz Homemade Hibiscus Liqueur* Shake all with crushed ice / Dirty dump / Add extra ice / Garnish with Hibiscus grenade! 🍸🍸 During the #CocktailDungeon session last month, Vincent, Bram, Mathias and I 👨‍👨‍👦‍👦 started with a clean-palate sampling session, for which everyone had brought some bottles.🥃 I then served them my 'Jungle Temptress' (posted August, 1) and afterwards it was their turn to go at it!💁 Open bar: whatever style, ingredients, etc... Just have fun!🕺 The results were smashing, with Gin, Rum and Mezcal all finding their way to our glasses (and into our thirsty mouths). . Afterwards, I went back at it.🧙‍♂️ I took my Rumbullion XO, an orange-, vanilla- and winter-spiced 15-year old(!) Rum as base spirit 😍 and added Lime juice and Hibiscus Syrup. To turn the complexity up, I then added my Homemade Hibiscus Liqueur 🌺 [*Hibiscus Syrup / Jamaican Rum / Allspice Dram / Ginger Bitters], loosely inspired by the recipe in Smuggler's Cove.⚔️ And while serving this beauty, I set them up with the final challenge of the afternoon: the Mystery Gin-Cocktail!✨ But more about that soon, including the results! ❤️ Drinkstagram, have a great day! 🍸🍸 #drinkswithfriends #homebartender #speakeasy #mysterybox #drinkstagram #sonyalpha7iii #sony55mm #spicedrum #rumbullion #captainmorgan #sailorjerry #liqpic #instadrinks #drinkoftheday #cocktailgram

I'm wondering, y'all...🤔 What interests you the most? -- 1️⃣ Exciting recipes created with rather popular bottles (which you are more likely to own), so that you're also more likely able to recreate the cocktails you see. -OR- 2️⃣ Being introduced to (new) interesting products or brands, more likely unknown to you, so that you might discover (or be convinced of) something new to buy? -- While I'm personally often drawn to option 2️⃣, I do have the feeling (and don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely guilty of this as well! 🤷), it can be quite a stumbling block for many AND, that we (at times) have the tendency of becoming an (all be it very creative 💜) marketing machine.⚙️ I know the topic can be a bit of a can of worms... BUT it's a very interesting one in my opinion.🙆 So feel free to chime in, I'd LOVE to get some input! 💕 Have a massive day! 🍸🍸 #homebartender #homebartending #blackmarble #cocktailrecipe #purpledrinks #ginspiration #drinkstagram #feedfeed #gintonics #canonrebelt5i #mocktails #whatinspiresyou #niftyfifty #canon50mm18 #cocktailrecipes #drinkblogger
