LUCIEN GAUDIN — THE FENCER IN A COCKTAIL GLASS ⚔️🍸

Some cocktails enter the room quietly.
The Lucien Gaudin parries its way in, steals the spotlight & leaves with your dignity.

A beautifully balanced French classic, named after Olympic fencing legend Lucien Gaudin — elegant, precise & packing a little more punch than you might expect.

The Quirky Spirit recipe:
🥃 3 cl juniper Jack gin
🍊 3 cl Cointreau
🍷 3 cl Martini Sweet Vermouth
🟥 2 cl Campari

Stir everything long and cold over ice.

Now, traditionally, this sophisticated gentleman is served in a chilled coupe. Very elegant. Very classy. Very “look at me, I know cocktails.” 🍸🎩

But Professor Quirky Spirit? Well… rules are more like friendly suggestions. 😜

So this Lucien Gaudin gets served in a tumbler, over ice. Because sometimes you want sophistication… but you also want your cocktail to stay cold while you're busy talking nonsense in the dusty basement. 🥃🧊😜😜

Of course, if you're feeling fancy, wearing imaginary cufflinks or simply want to impress your guests, then by all means: strain it into a chilled coupe & pretend you're in a Parisian cocktail bar. 🇫🇷✨

Bright citrus, herbal sweetness, bitter edges & that unmistakable juniper backbone.

Professor Quirky Spirit says:
"Why follow cocktail traditions when you can put them on ice & call it personality?" 😜🍸

🥃 Drink curious. Stay quirky.

🥃 THE SMOKY APPLE NAIL 🍏🔥

Frank Sinatra had his Rusty Nail.

I had other plans. 😉

The original is a legendary combination of Scotch wh**ky and Drambuie, famously associated with Ol’ Blue Eyes.

But here at Quirky Spirit HQ, we don’t always follow the rules, or should i better say “ never follow” . Like one of our followers/friends said: you´re just bad, full stop. 😂😂 isn’t it Sandra?

So I sent the Drambuie packing and invited a little French elegance to the party instead.

🥃 60 ml Lagavulin 16 Year Old
🍏 30 ml Calvados
🍁 10 ml pure maple syrup
🧊 Stirred slowly over ice
🍊 Finished with a orange twist

The result?

A smoky little love affair between Islay and Normandy.

The Lagavulin brings the peat, smoke and maritime character, while the Calvados adds beautiful baked-apple fruitiness and a touch of French finesse.

Then comes the maple syrup — just enough to round everything off with a whisper of caramel sweetness without turning this beast into a dessert.

Smoky. Apple-rich. Slightly sweet. Warming. Complex.

Imagine a Rusty Nail disappearing into a smoky wh**ky bar, spending a weekend in Normandy and coming back with an attitude problem.

That’s my kind of cocktail. 😎

No shaker.
No 27 ingredients.
No unnecessary theatrics.

Just great wh**ky, good Calvados, a touch of maple…

…and enough smoke to make Frank Sinatra raise an eyebrow. 🎙️🥃

Cheers to doing it our way.

🍒 SHERRY GIN FIZZ — QUIRKY SPIRIT STYLE 🍋

Sometimes a cocktail doesn’t need a complicated family tree… it just needs gin, cherries and a little bit of bad behaviour. 😏

Meet my Sherry Gin Fizz — built around the wonderfully punchy Juniper Jack Gin, with a juicy little twist of cherry madness.

The recipe:
🥃 6 cl Juniper Jack Gin
🍋 3 cl fresh lemon juice
🍒 2 cl Luxardo Maraschino
🫐 1.5 bar spoons sour cherry jam

Everything goes into a Boston shaker with ice.
15 seconds of vigorous shaking — because apparently cocktails also need therapy. 😂

Double strain over fresh ice in a tumbler, then dress the troublemaker with two blueberries, a Maraschino cherry and an orange zest. 🍊

Bright. Tart. Fruity. Juniper-forward. A little bit weird.
Basically… exactly how we like our cocktails down in the Dusty Spirit Cellar. 🥃🕸️

Aperol Gone Rogue — The Italian Job 🍊🥃

The Quirky Spirit went back into the Dusty Basement… and apparently came out with another experiment. 😏

This time, Woodford Reserve meets Aperol, but I sent in a new accomplice: Super Cattivo Pomeranze — bringing a little more bitter orange, spice and Italian attitude to the party.

3 cl Woodford Reserve
3 cl Aperol
3 cl Super Cattivo Pomeranze
3 cl fresh lemon juice

Shake hard with ice in a Boston shaker, then double strain into an ice-filled tumbler.

The result?

Bourbon warmth.
Aperol bitterness.
Pomeranze doing its dark, citrusy thing.
And lemon bringing just enough sharpness to keep everyone honest.

Same Rogue. Different mood.

Another cocktail crawled out of the Dusty Basement… and honestly, I’m not sure whether I should be proud or concerned. 😂🥃🍊

Aperol Gone Rogue 🍊🥃

What happens when Aperol meets bourbon, vermouth & citrus and decides to stop behaving?

You get my own little cocktail creation: Aperol Gone Rogue — born somewhere between a good idea, a bad idea, and the Dusty Basement of Quirky Spirit.

3 cl Aperol
3 cl Woodford Reserve
3 cl Vermouth
3 cl fresh lime juice — or lemon, if you like a sharper edge.

Shake hard with ice in a Boston shaker, then double strain into an ice-filled tumbler. Finish with a twist or wedge of orange, lemon or lime.

Bit bitter.
Bit sweet.
Plenty of citrus.
And that beautiful bourbon backbone bringing the whole gang together.

Not quite an Aperol Sour.
Not quite a Wh***ey Sour.
Not quite anything you'll find on the usual cocktail menu.

Just a little Quirky Spirit alchemy from the Dusty Basement. 🥃🍊

Sometimes the best cocktails happen when you stop following the rules.

🥥🍍 Quirky Spirit’s Kentucky Colada — when the Caribbean meets Kentucky! 🥃🌴

Who said a Piña Colada needs rum? 😉
Today, I decided to send this tropical classic on a Kentucky road trip and replaced the traditional rum with a bold character from the Bluegrass State: Old Ezra Brooks 7 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Wh***ey.

The result? A creamy, exotic cocktail where pineapple and coconut meet the rich flavours of a beautifully aged bourbon. Expect layers of warm vanilla, caramel sweetness, gentle oak and that unmistakable Kentucky wh***ey character. 🥃✨

Old Ezra Brooks 7 Year Old is a bourbon with patience and personality — matured for seven years to develop depth, balance and a smooth complexity that makes it a perfect partner for this tropical twist.

A little island sunshine, a little Southern charm, and a whole lot of Quirky Spirit attitude. 🌞🥥

Because sometimes the best classics are the ones you dare to break.

Cheers to a Kentucky breeze blowing through the Caribbean! 🥃🍍

🥃 When the Dusty Spirit Cellar speaks... you listen.

Some bottles deserve to be opened the day you buy them. Others patiently wait for the right moment... while collecting a rather respectable layer of dust. (Yes... it's real. 😄)

Today's escapee is no ordinary Jack Daniel's. It's the third release in the legendary "Scenes from Lynchburg" series, celebrating the people, places and stories that shaped the little Tennessee town where every drop of Jack begins its journey. A bottle like this deserves more than a shelf... it deserves a proper pour.

So, instead of drinking it neat, I gave it the Quirky Spirit treatment with a classic Lynchburg Lemonade... but with a twist.

🥃 Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 "Scenes from Lynchburg" – Third Edition
🍁 Maple syrup instead of simple syrup (because maple makes everything just a little more interesting)
🍊 Cointreau
🍋 Fresh lemon juice
✨ Topped with sparkling lemon lemonade

The maple syrup adds warm notes of caramel and toasted sweetness that blend beautifully with Jack's signature vanilla, oak and charcoal-mellowed character. The Cointreau lifts the drink with bright citrus, while the lemonade keeps everything crisp, vibrant and dangerously drinkable.

Sometimes we chase the newest limited editions...

Sometimes the real magic is hiding under a layer of dust in the Dusty Spirit Cellar.

This bottle waited years for its moment. I'd say it was worth every dusty second.

Stay Quirky. Drink Real. Respect the classics... and never be afraid to give them a fresh twist. 🥃🍋🍁

💚🍸 A green chapter from the Dusty Spirit Cellar…

Some classics deserve respect… but every now and then, they deserve a little adventure.

The Negroni has always been one of my favourite aperitivo creations. A timeless masterpiece where bitterness, sweetness and botanicals dance together in perfect harmony. But even the greatest classics can enjoy a little transformation.

So tonight, Professor Quirky Spirit opened the laboratory doors and created a greener interpretation of this Italian legend:

🥃 4 cl Monkey 47 Gin
🌿 4 cl Chartreuse
✨ 4 cl Lillet Blanc

A simple equal-parts recipe, yet anything but simple in character.

At the heart of this creation is Monkey 47 — a true gem and one of my personal favourite gins. A complex botanical masterpiece that has earned its place in my Dusty Spirit Cellar. Its layers of juniper, spices and exotic botanicals provide the perfect foundation for this herbal adventure.

Then comes Chartreuse… a mysterious green elixir with centuries of history, bringing depth, complexity and that unmistakable herbal signature.

Lillet Blanc completes the trio with elegance and finesse, adding a soft French touch that balances the intensity beautifully.

The result? A sophisticated, aromatic and slightly rebellious cousin of the classic Negroni. Less “Italian sunset”, more “secret garden after midnight”. 🌿🌙

Because sometimes the best discoveries happen when tradition meets curiosity.

“Professor Quirky Spirit’s philosophy: Respect the classics, but never be afraid to give them a little twist… the next legendary sip might be hiding behind the unexpected.” 🧪🍸

Cheers to craftsmanship, curiosity and the beautiful world of spirits. 🥂

Some cocktail purists may wish to avert their eyes... because tonight, the tequila called in sick, and a rather charismatic mezcal happily volunteered to take its place.

The Paloma has always been celebrated as tequila's carefree citrus companion... bright, vibrant and effortlessly charming. But every now & then, tradition deserves to wander off the beaten path.
Tonight, I invited a different traveller into the glass.

Pierde Almas de 9 Joven 100% Agave Limited Edition Mezcal.

Not a substitute.
Not an upgrade.
Simply a different story waiting to be told.

The first sip opens with lively pink grapefruit & freshly squeezed lime, sparkling with irresistible freshness. Then, almost unnoticed, the mezcal steps forward—not shouting, but speaking with quiet confidence. Gentle wood smoke, roasted agave, wild herbs & earthy minerality unfold like chapters from an old Mexican tale written long before cocktails became fashionable.

This isn't smoke for the sake of smoke.
It's character.
It's heritage.
It's craftsmanship refusing to be rushed.

The citrus doesn't tame the mezcal... nor does the mezcal overpower the citrus. Instead, they dance together in perfect harmony, each allowing the other to reveal a little more of its soul with every sip.

That is the difference between mixing a drink...
..and composing one.

In a world overflowing with sweet shortcuts, artificial flavours and forgettable trends, authentic agave still reminds us that true spirits are born from patience, tradition & uncompromising craftsmanship.

Stay Quirky.
Drink with curiosity.
Celebrate bottles that still have something meaningful to say.
Because remarkable cocktails are never built around ingredients...
They are built around character.

A British Gentleman Returns from the Dust...

Every now and then, I wander into the forgotten corners of my Dusty Spirit Cellar, where bottles patiently await their moment to shine once more. Today, one of Britain's true classics stepped back into the light...

Berkeley Square London Dry Gin.

Named after one of London's most elegant squares, Berkeley Square Gin was created as a tribute to refined British craftsmanship. Rather than chasing loud trends, it embraces timeless elegance, combining traditional botanicals with fresh hand-picked basil, sage, kaffir lime leaves & lavender—a combination that was remarkably innovative when it first appeared.

This is not a gin that shouts for attention.

It simply tips its hat, adjusts its tailored suit, & quietly reminds you why classic London Dry will never go out of style.

Tasting Note

Fresh juniper immediately leads the way, followed by vibrant citrus, fragrant herbs & a delicate floral whisper.

Crisp & beautifully balanced, with classic piney juniper wrapped in soft basil, gentle sage, subtle lavender & bright citrus zest.

The finish is clean, dry & elegant, lingering just long enough to invite another sip.

A sophisticated British gentleman from another era—a proud reminder that true, juniper-driven Real Gin never goes out of fashion. While the world continues to chase sweet gimmicks and botanical fireworks, classics like Berkeley Square quietly prove that authenticity will always outlast trends... even when the bottle has been gathering dust.

Professor Quirky Spirit's Verdict: Sometimes the greatest discoveries aren't new releases... they're the forgotten treasures patiently waiting in the Dusty Spirit Cellar.
