North East Gay Dogging

from suffering in the world caused by hollow ice cubes and swirling

This Saturday was a very busy day in the air lock. 19:00 point appeared, placed booking of 40 people already and I sure unprepared (head = not amused) to another table with 15 people and the rest of the store gerappelt full. I feel very fortunate that the 40 table has never started cocktails to order. At the end of the evening

clock at 3:00 I got a sense the reward for the stress. After the visit of three good friends enters Daddy-O the Bar Well, first I did not know whether I should rejoice or cry myself.

Daddy-O is a much-traveled advocate of the American bar and a bartender for about 40 years active. With nearly 70 years, he radiates a hand, a large elevation of about his craft, on the other hand, he is also the whole evening into a rage about "the youth of today", "the beer tapper, not bartender Today" and the city of Koblenz with the non-existent for his little guests (beautiful) Bar lose. This can sometimes be exhausting. Daddy-O is great Rumkenner and has in his bar for about 300 different bottlings. This will also be different (especially stored in a barrel) Spiced Rum and Falernumvariationen .

He then trudges to greet me at the bar, and ordered his mandatory schonmal rosé wine spritzer. First, I will critically eyed the work, all "major moves" in preparing the drinks are ready to nod approvingly. Hoho, he is content, so my evening is saved schonmal. Because he is not so easy to please, and woe if not ...
So then ordered Daddy-O a "nice balance" Daiquiri. No sooner said than done ... everything again given the nod. Super:-D

Try ... "Aha! You shake too long. The drink is watered down." Even tried. Indeed! Somewhat lax when I got home that the mixe compares. Ever since I saw it 2 years ago I put my trust, and not only during the Daiquiri, on Angus Winchester's tip from the beguiling, thirsty -making instructional video :


"Add lots of ice and then I'm gonna shake it as long and hard as I can! "


And just as Angus suggests, for about 10 seconds. Here, this technique will not produce the desired result. Our Bareis is hollow. Hollow ice cubes have a larger surface area. Our Bareis is stored in the ice container, forming a film of meltwater on the surface. As soon as you enter into the mixing glass mixed so the water with the drink and diluted it. Daddy-O's tip also: Little ice, briefly shaking. The same daiquiri recipe, another essential method of preparation. Incomparably better results! And even the drink was as cold as the other.

Daddy-O adopted have passed and I'm glad, even if it actually belongs to the absolute basics, to have once again learned what some satisfaction with his knowledge. And this from him. The amiable eccentric Daddy-O.


So if you already have to work with low-quality ice cream: Low suppose not shake too long!

How To Make Love Bird Breeding Cages

good drink with strange names.

Yesterday two men were in the air lock at the bar who wanted after two cocktails from the new card, a drink with Hierbas Ibicencas . The second attempt came this as they found out very successful drink. Inspired by the Art of Choke . Do you want to drink the next time will definitely be back:) I must say
: experimenters guests my favorite guest!

you can also NEN "genius" to come for the drink that they might finally ... : D


"The Masculine cocktail
4 cl Martinique Rhum (Saint James Royal Ambre)
2 cl Aperol
2 cl Hierbas Ibicencas
1 BL lime juice
eighth Orange
4 mint leaves
Orange muddle mint leaves with slightly Rührlas. Add remaining ingredients and stir until cold. Strain in a tumbler over ice cubes. Garnish with lemon twist and twig of mint.


Hierbas Ibicencas has a slight anise-fennel note Orangenzestenaromen and fits beautifully. In this drink, it fits very nicely into the overall picture, while the first drink was a bit more pushy.

image will be updated soon

Our cocktail of the month at the Castle in the Air: Hot Buttered Rum à la Bornhöft ! Very tasty.
