Rhubarb syrup (for lemonade)
"I see red" and this in an absolutely joyful sense! This delicious red syrup made from rhubarb not only provides a great colour, but also a wonderfully fruity taste. The colour is "hot", the drink is "cool" ... the best proof that opposites attract!
Woodraff syrup (for lemonade)
Did you know that real woodruff syrup is not green at all? The green drink as we know it is actually only created using artificial colouring. Our syrup is completely natural, as evidenced by its clear appearance. And the flavour is also completely natural, as it remains truly "woodruff-like".
Basil syrup for lemonade
Summer at last! The sun is shining and the terrace is waiting for you - now all you need is a cool drink to cool you down. The basis for this could be our spicy and refreshing basil syrup, with which you can create the most delicious mixtures. Very simple, but wonderfully tingling, you can spice up your mineral water with it. Whether as a shot of flavouring in a vodka lemon, gin and tonic or in sparkling wine - this syrup is simply tempting to mix. Try it out and discover your favourite creation!
Daiquiri
Only two ingredients turn a glass of rum into a delicious cocktail or, to put it correctly: a sour. This classically consists of a spirit, a lemon or lime component and sugar. The balance of sweetness and acidity are a perfect combination. Add to this the exotic aroma of rum and the whole thing iced... if that doesn't taste like summer?
Bloody Mary
Admittedly, a Bloody Mary is not everyone's cup of tea. But if you like something heartier, this is the cocktail for you! Vodka provides the alcoholic basis of the cocktail, which is joined by spicy tomato juice. Tabasco, ginger, Worcester sauce and pepper add a lot of "fire" to the mixture. The drink, which is said to have a hangover-curing effect, is garnished with celery. By the way, this is not only suitable for stirring, but also for snacking in between...
Hidden treasure
Here comes an original cocktail recipe from Lurch! We have named it "Hidden Treasure" because there are so many mysterious ingredients hidden in it. They not only make the cocktail colourful, but also give it unique flavours. Since you are interested in this recipe, we will tell you the ingredients. How it tastes is still a secret. You'll find out when you've mixed the drink.
Ward eight
According to legend, Ward Eight was created at the end of the 19th century on the occasion of Martin Lomasney's election victory in Boston's eighth district. Whiskey forms the basis and is mixed with lemon juice, orange juice and grenadine. The result is a fruity-sweet cocktail that tastes best chilled.
Ipanema
With this drink, you'll bring holiday, sun and good mood into your glass! The melodious name of this non-alcoholic cocktail is reminiscent of the famous beach in Rio de Janeiro. How would you like to dream yourself there for a moment? Here's a delicious recipe that's perfect for a little time out!
Sex on the beach
Have you ever wondered where this unusual cocktail name comes from? Well, the inventor named this drink after "Sex" and "Beach", which he said were the two main attractions of the Spring Break. With its fruity ingredients, it is of course also the perfect summer cocktail! You should give it a try!
Moscow Mule
Small effort, big effect - this is absolutely true of the Moscow Mule. It is prepared with only a few ingredients, but the result is a unique taste. The combination of vodka and ginger beer gives the drink the perfect balance between the neutral note of the vodka and the sharp spiciness of the ginger beer. Add a squeeze of lime juice and you have the Moscow Mule, a wonderfully refreshing cocktail. Well, cheers!
Gin Gimlet
This drink is ideal for spontaneously inviting guests over for a cocktail. All you need is gin, lime juice and a little ice, and the short drink is ready to serve. So simple - so good! And perfect for a nice, enjoyable evening with good friends!
Mai Tai
"Mai Tai Roa Ae" is Tahitian and means something like "not of this world". This eponymous saying is said to have been given to the strong Tiki cocktail immediately after its invention. As we know, every good cocktail comes with a good creation story. In this case, there was also a proper (legal) dispute about authorship. But we'd rather focus on what belongs in the Mai Tai and how to prepare it properly to give the balmy evening or hot night a proper dose of Caribbean flair.
Pina Colada
Relaxing on a white powdery beach, gazing at the sea, listening to hot rhythms and enjoying a cool drink - that's the definition of a holiday paradise. We don't have a recipe for how to reach this dream destination quickly. But we can provide you with a recipe for a drink in no time! White rum, coconut milk, pineapple, creamy whipped cream, ice cream - all combined in one glass. What do you think of a pina colada?
Espresso tonic
How practical would it be to have a drink that wakes you up when you're tired? So awake that you can even enjoy this drink to the full as a reward. The Espresso Tonic is just such an example! The espresso flows in layers over the cool ingredients. What a visual highlight! What a refreshing iced coffee on hot summer days!
Strawberry mojito
This drink takes you on a figurative journey to its home country. Because it embodies the Cuban attitude to life and lots of good humour. The mojito actually consists of rum, lime juice, brown sugar, mint and soda. We mix in strawberries to create a fruity Strawberry Mojito. A delicious and refreshing alternative to the original. Sulud!
Pornstar Martini
Who gives a cocktail such an extravagant name? Presumably it is precisely this that makes you so curious about the cocktail! But what is much more interesting is whether this mixture really tastes good. And we can confirm that it does: This composition tastes simply bombastic.
A little exoticism, a little luxury, an unusual name - you should try this mysterious drink!
Cosmopolitan
What a stylish appearance! And that doesn't just mean the actresses from the series "Sex and the City", through whom the cocktail has achieved cult status. The motto "less is more" clearly applies to this drink. The pink cocktail consists of only a few ingredients and is served - deliberately simple but elegant - in a martini glass. A drink that not only exudes a touch of glamour and elegance but also promises pleasure!
Pineapple syrup for lemonade
Now pure exoticism comes into your glass! Let us introduce you to the fruity sweet pineapple, which can be wonderfully transformed into a syrup. Mixed with water, the delicious tropical fruit flavour becomes a wonderfully refreshing drink that will make you feel really cool.
NoGroni
No, it's not a typo! This is actually a NoGroni and not a Negroni. And you can probably already tell what this is about from the name. NO-Groni says NO to alcohol in the cocktail and is, simply put, the alcohol-free counterpart to the classic Negroni. A perfect alternative to enjoy a cocktail if you want to avoid alcohol!
Lemon ginger syrup
Summery, fruity, fresh! Our delicious recipe provides the basis for a delicious lemonade that refreshes you on hot days. You can easily prepare the syrup and then fill it up with soda water as needed. To make it really cool, add ice cubes. So fresh!
Paloma
The fact that this cocktail is named after a pigeon (Spanish: Paloma) could be because when you drink it, you literally take off and could go up in the air with joy. Regardless of the fact that the name has a different history, this long drink really tastes unbeatably delicious.
Ideal for a relaxed summer evening!
Caipirinha
"Copa, Copacabana" ... a great catchy tune dedicated to Brazil's most famous beach.
This song, beach, sun and a caipirinha in your hand, these are the thoughts that come to mind when you think of Brazilian lifestyle. The "Caipi", as it is affectionately called, is not only an absolute hit in its country of origin. In the meantime, it has become one of the most popular cocktails in the world. And rightly so, of course, because it tastes so wonderfully refreshing. Get the Brazilian original into your glass. We'll show you how it's done!
