Homemade Griotka cherry liqueur requires just three ingredients: 1 kg of sour cherries, 300 g of sugar and 1 litre of alcohol. The rest takes care of itself during seven weeks of infusion in a bright spot, as the cherries release their colour, tartness and aroma into the alcohol. The result is a deep ruby-red liqueur that many families save until Christmas.
The same proportions work whether you…

That is precisely why it is so easy to get wrong: with only three ingredients, every little mistake makes a difference. Too much liqueur, bottled lime juice instead of fresh, or the wrong proportions can quickly turn a refreshing cocktail into a drink that is too sour or overly sweet.

Walnut liqueur smells like Christmas, yet it is made in the middle of summer. It is prepared from green walnuts that still have a soft centre and have not yet developed a hard shell. These young walnuts are transformed into a dark, bittersweet liqueur that our great-grandmothers used to keep both for the festive table and in the home medicine cabinet.

That little glass of prosecco is one of the things that has made it one of the most popular mixed drinks of recent years. It is also why one question comes up so often at the bar: what are you supposed…

Kombucha may look like an ordinary sparkling iced tea in a glass, but there's a living fermentation process behind it. It's made from sweetened tea that ferments for several days or weeks with a culture known as SCOBY, changing the drink's flavour, acidity and overall composition along the way. Over the past few years, kombucha has become one of the most popular drinks in the world of functional…

Long ago, a mixture of whisky and cream was used as a traditional remedy for stomach problems. The mixture, however, only tasted good if it was consumed quickly. So how did an old home remedy become one of the world's most popular liqueurs? Baileys is a relatively young drink, with its history beginning in 1973. By 2007, one billion bottles of the creamy liqueur had been sold. The idea of…
