Welcome! Welcome!

Hailing from Prague and based in Berlin, with a background in restaurant kitchens, I have geeked into the cocktail world as a dedicated 'home-bar-tender'.

Apart from hosting friends, my home bar, 'Luftschloss', serves as a lab for my own infusions, liqueurs, bitters, syrups and house blends.

Currently, I'm rescuing Slivovitz from its "under-represented" status and proving that a good Plum Eau-de-Vie belongs in a high-end coupe glass. In last 10 years, many new brands and craft products emerged so please don't buy some basic crap.

Wish me luck, it's a thorny path indeed

Hello team, it is a shame that one couldn't select a 'German Brandy' or Asbach products when creating a new cocktail, both are simply not listed in the options. But in the regular web search it is available and categorised as a 'German Brandy'.

yep, with Rye it’s much brighter and spicier, definitely fitting better here.

you can fat wash the rum with regular or browned butter, it's really easy and quick and the flavourful rum has an amazing mouthfeel plus the cocktail then has almost zero grease

Hello Troy, you have substituted this cocktail with a different cocktail altogether ^^.
