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...

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?

Kokomo ("The Byrdcave"-Style): Karibik-Feeling im Glas – auch wenn Kokomo in Indiana liegt! Dieser Cocktail mit Gin, Blaubeersirup und Kokosgarnitur ist optisch wie geschmacklich ein Urlaubsgruß. Zubereitet mit den Lurch Bar Tools.
Kokomo ("The Byrdcave"-Style)

This cocktail takes you to a beach in the Caribbean. When you hear Kokomo, you immediately think of the Beach Boys and their cocktail anthem. If you're expecting a cocktail with rum, you're mistaken. Gin provides the basis for this drink. But that doesn't matter at all. After all, Kokomo is not in the Caribbean (but in Indiana). Instead, the blueberry syrup colours the drink a deep blue and now you're already thinking of the ocean off the Bahamas. The right garnish of coconut shavings makes you feel completely at peace, and after the first sip at the latest, you'll be dreaming of the palm trees of the Caribbean island of your choice. Best regards from Timm Werner and the team at Byrdcave in Regensburg.

Mai Tai: Ein kräftiger Tiki-Cocktail für karibisches Flair an heißen Tagen und lauen Abenden. Perfekt gemixt mit Lurch Barzubehör und Eiswürfelformen aus Silikon.
Mai Tai
10 min

"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.

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!

Negroni: Der italienische Klassiker verbindet bittere Campari-Note mit süßem roten Vermouth. Ein bittersüßer Aperitif, der den Appetit anregt und perfekt zu salzigen Speisen passt. Zubereitet mit Lurch Barzubehör und Eiswürfelformen aus Silikon.
Negroni

La dolce Vita. According to this Italian aperitif classic, it should actually be called the bittersweet life. The bitter note is provided by Campari, which is inextricably linked to this drink. It is precisely this bitter note of the Negroni that stimulates the appetite and goes perfectly with salty food. The red Vermouth, on the other hand, brings the sweetness. The interplay of the different flavours makes the Negroni something special. Just as life becomes special through sweet and bitter experiences.
