"Südseezauber - Magic of the South Sea" at Chateau Moser

2013-06-22T16:31:00.000-07:00

Aloha Bruddah´s,

the summer 2013 will be a nice one if you live in Nuremberg or in the south of Germany, ´cause a couple of Luau´s will hit the town.

The first of our "Magic of the South Sea"-parties will take place at the Chateau Moser, a nice little wine bar in the heart of Nuremberg.

We´ll serve some Tiki drinks from the 1930´s to the 1960´s according to original recipes from "Don the Beachcomber", "Trader Vic" and Ray Buhan, just to name a few.

I hope I´ll see you there guys! We will have a great time together.

Mahalo

Queens Park Swizzle

2012-04-04T13:10:00.003-07:00

6 - 8 mint leaves
2/3 oz fresh lime juice
3 tsp brown Demerara sugar
2 oz Appleton VX or Bacardi 8
2 dashes Angostura

Put all ingreditents in a double old-fashioned glass and squeeze carefully, add crushed ice and swizzle. Add crushed to fill.

The original recipe of this cocktail may be a little different, but I prefer these relations of the ingredients.

Oh my God - I love this drink. I have to confess it´s one of my absolute favorites. This is my interpretation of this drink. The original contains more rum, but I like it in a lighter way.

Bell, Book & Candle - Whole lotta Tiki goin´ on

Bai Tiki´s wonderful profile picture on Facebook reminded me on this amazing movie from the 50´s, with a beautiful Kim Novak, a cool Jimmy Stewart and a funny - as usual - Jack Lemon.
I watched this film many times when I was a child and loved the set design, long before I knew what Tiki means.

Chinese Cocktail

2012-02-16T11:26:00.003-08:00

1 dash Angostura
1 dash Cointreau
1 dash Maraschino
1 bsp grenadine
2 oz Appleton VX

Stirr on ice cubes and strain in a chilled cocktail glass.

I know some gin drinkers which prefer Pink Gin as the perfect winter cocktail. To me, as a rum drinker aficionado, this cocktail is the equivalent cocktail for the season.

Trader Vic´s Puerto Rican Rum

2012-02-01T16:11:00.000-08:00

Did anybody tasted this rum? I bought it for a lot of money and I´m not sure, if there´s the original rum inside this bottle. Jeff Berry told me this rum was delicious, but the content here is awful - like a cheap cheap wodka or whatever. So please let me know. Indeed, I really wanna know how this rum had tasted.

Stefan Hinz´s "Pedro Goes Cuban"

2011-11-16T13:58:00.000-08:00

1 oz apple juice
1 oz fresh lime juice
1/3 oz simple syrup
1 2/3 oz Havana Selection
5 mint leaves
1/3 oz PX Sherry

Shake with ice cubes, double strain in a small tumbler. Add ice cubes and drop in Sherry. Garnish with a mint sprig.

This drink was definitely one of my favorites at the Bar Convent Berlin. Stefan Hinz is in Germany well known for his skills. This guy from Cologne was the German and the world champion in bartending 2010.

So, enjoy a truly masterful cocktail.
