Two drinks for a recent supper club.

One went deep: whole banana, fresh banana & juice + syrup, peanut whiskey, walnut bitters, jameson whiskey infused with pear.
Rich, nutty, slightly weird in the right way.

The other stayed light: strawberry, raspberry, rhubarb, water, acid, tequila — then carbonated.
Bright, sharp, dangerously easy to drink. 🏴‍☠️

Big thanks to our partners, to the location for having us, and to Chris for the photos.

Happy Birthday 🎈1️⃣ by @rkds

Family close. Friends close.
A lot behind us, even more ahead.

Maybe that’s the whole point.
More life - More energy.
Keep moving - something is coming.

NKT. by @rkds

Three weeks ago I was in New York with a friend.
Instagram stayed off – no stories, no posts. Just absorbing.

Cocktails that were more than drinks.
Corners where the city breathes.
Creatives shaping a scene, raw and full of energy.

Every visit to New York triggers a flood of impressions.
People who clearly live and love their concepts.
Where you feel the difference instantly.

No matter what you call yourself – bartender, creative, artist – in the end it was only about one thing: sharing your passion with the guests.

Now it’s time to release fragments of that trip.
In the coming days and weeks: images, videos, moments.
Not a travel diary, just a series and graphic passion.

First stop in NYC: Schmuck @schmuck.ny

Cocktails. Corners. Creatives.
A look at New York that stays.

Ohhhh NEW YORK! Last year, a friend of mine and I spent several days in New York. I’m stepping into 2026 carrying a few beautiful memories from the end of 2025.
The trip was an opportunity to revisit places that have influenced us for a long time — first through music, later through bars, restaurants, and the people behind them.
New York has a directness that is hard to replicate elsewhere.
In the coming days, I’ll be sharing bar and restaurant recommendations from that visit. 🪞

Some cities you visit. New York, you carry with you.

Letztes Jahr habe ich gemeinsam mit einem Freund mehrere Tage in New York verbracht.
Ich starte ins Jahr 2026 mit ein paar schönen Erinnerungen aus dem Ende von 2025.
Die Reise war eine Gelegenheit, Orte wiederzusehen, die uns seit Langem prägen — zuerst durch Musik, später durch Bars, Restaurants und die Menschen dahinter.
New York besitzt eine Direktheit, die sich kaum anderswo wiederfinden lässt.
In den kommenden Tagen teile ich Bar- und Restaurant-Empfehlungen aus dieser Reise. 🪞

London *** Discovering an incredible city again with a lot of fantastic bars was a highlight of our trip. We absolutely loved @tayer_elementary , @nightjar , @a_bar_with_shapes_for_a_name_ for their incredible service, amazing vibes, and exceptionally good drinks. It was the perfect time spent with our crew !
