#rooftopterrace #monbijouhotel @monbijouhotelberlin #openair #summerevening #drinkswithfriends #berlin #mitteAt Bar Wagemut, Berlin: Bartender's creation: Foursquare Barbados Rum 10 Yrs, @schloss_neuenburg Banana Eau de Vie, Cocchi Americano, Hiebl's Weiki Hardy Kiwi Plant Eau de Vie, lemon curd, @bittermens Tiki bitters, sugar, lime juice. I'm trying so many new flavours today! #weiki or #weihenstephankiwi (actinidia arguta) is a mini kiwi plant; they're also called kiwi berries. Austrian distillery Georg Hiebl has made these tiny kiwis into an eau de vie. The rum has a fabulous fruity green banana aroma which is a great match for the voluptuous banana eau de vie from German Schloss Neuenburg distillery. Layers of banana notes accented by delicate herbal accords. Bar Wagemut has a fantastic range of German and Austrian eau de vies, fruit brandies and distillates (variants include sage, liquorice root, three different types of mint, turmeric, dark chocolate, wild mallow, pine, galangal, pumpkin, carrot, cucumber or cinnamon; plus raspberry, cherry, sour cherry, quince, pear, plum, apple and all the rest of the classic German fruit brandy flavours) which you can order individually or - as I did - as part of a drink. I think this might be my new favourite Kreuzberg bar. #nkroeger #selectedcaskcommunity @barwagemut #barwagemut #berlincocktails #berlinbars #mixology #craftcocktails #craftbartender #drinkstagram #georghiebl #foursquarerum #richardseale @foursquare_rum_distilleryAt Bar Wagemut, Berlin: Bartender's creation - Faude Beetroot Eau de Vie, Faude Bergamot Eau de Vie, Whitley Neil Dry Gin, Cocchi Amaro, Cynar, nut bitters, lemon oils. A most excellent blend of flavours. I'm a huge fan of the @ffaude Eau de Vies and the beetroot in particular, and in this fabulous drink it accents the bergamot beautifully. With a soft, sinuous mouthfeel; rounded fruity notes, luscious sweetness. Love it. #barwagemut @barwagemut #berlinbars #berlincocktails #mixology #craftcocktails #drinkstagram #nkroegerThe weather has temporarily cooled off a bit (alas, the heat will be back tomorrow) so I'm starting this Sunday with a nice rinse-off face mask. Organic UK brand @atlantis.skincare's intriguing Two-Part Face Mask, to be exact (thank you, #atlantisskincare!). The blue sachet contains a powder which is based on silk peptides, Siberian ginseng powder, aloe vera powder, elderberry powder, seaweed powder and three types of clay. And the bottle contains a toner which is based on rose water, witch hazel and melissa leaf water plus a shed-load of very cool herbal extracts including horsechestnut, nettle, lime and jasmine flower. Mix equal parts together, apply on face, let it dry, rinse off. I love clay masks and this is a nice one! I met Atlantis Skincare at this year's Natural Products Europe trade show in London. The company was launched in January 2018, they are based in Somerset, England, and specialise in artisan, freshly-made organic beauty products. #organicbeauty #facemask #ginsengbeautyInside German online retailer Zalando's new bricks 'n mortar beauty store in Berlin. Zalando Beauty Station is located at Weinmeisterstrasse 2 in the city's trendy Mitte district. The store offers some international 40 beauty brands which include high-end mainstream labels such as Origins, Estée Lauder, Clinique and MAC but also more niche-ey offerings like Pixi Beauty, Rodial, Emma Hardie, Perricone MD, Percy & Reed, Sachajuan and Nail Inc. I particularly like the focus on organic beauty which offers a great brand mix: the line-up includes labels such as @bybibeauty from the UK - I love their Face Oil - but also I Want You Naked from Munich, LA Bruket from Sweden, Hej Organics (a mass market brand from Germany), Stop The Water While Using Me (also Germany), Cowshed, Elemental Herbology and Pai (UK). Plus some fab looking niche brands I'm not familiar with - like color cos brand 3ina from Spain, face care label Codage from France, Pestle & Mortar from the UK or hair and body care brand Sprekenhus from Norway. Plus, of course, K-Beauty! Like It's Skin, Klairs, Benton, CosRX, Dr. G and 11 Village. I was told that the brand line-up will be updated regularly - yay! The store's gorgeous inside, light and airy; lots of natural light. @zalando_beauty #beauty #organicbeauty #nichebeauty #berlinCheck out what DHL just delivered to my doorstep: Finnish-German organic luxury beauty brand @inaricosmetics new face care range! Yay! Inari just launched in Finnish department store chain Stockmann and in Helsinki's organic beauty store Jolie. And hopefully they'll come to Germany soon, too. The range offers a water cream, a sleeping cream, a serum and a moisturising lotion formulated with various Nordic plant extracts, including #bilberry leaf extract, #lingonberry seed oil, #chaga mushroom extract and #rhodiolarosea root extract. I tried out some of the products on the back of my hands just now; the textures feel beautifully light - perfect for the scorching temperatures we're having in Berlin right now. Thank you #inaricosmetics 🤩 #finnishcosmetics #organicbeauty #ecobeauty #nichebrand #arcticingredients #inaribeauty #indiebrand #ecoluxeInside the newly refurbished Museum für Gestaltung; a gorgeous design space in the city centre of Zurich. This is "Hëlicoidales", a fluid airy installation made from very thin tranches of Swiss Stone Pine wood; created by Swiss designers Atelier Oï for the @museumgestaltung's new exhibition "Oïphorie". The museum was reopened in February 2018 after several years of renovation. #museumfürgestaltung #designmuseum #zirbenholz #swissdesign #atelieroï @atelier_oi #zurich #museumMy second #lunareclipse this year; this time I viewed it in Freiburg, Germany. The contrast couldn't have been bigger: in January it was icy cold and I stood on the pavement in an Asian mega city; this evening: a very warm summer evening, in a vineyard on the outskirts of a small town in Southern Germany. The pic was taken during the last hour of the eclipse. #bloodmoon #lunareclipse #travel #blessed #leicaphoneAt Werk 8 Bar, Basel: One-Punch Mickey - wow! Jameson Black Barrel, Byrrh, clarified lemon, cherry bitters, absinthe. Strong and sweet with a fruity note on the palate, yet surpringly light - I think this is the first time I've had Byrrh (a French red wine-based aperitif-style bitter liqueur) in a drink. Or cherry bitters. Great combination. #werk8 #werk8basel #craftcocktails #mixology #craftedmixology #drinkstagram #baselbars #baselcocktails @werk8basel
