I’m entering an exciting phase of a new project. An idea turned into a SaaS business plan and is now starting out with a pilot.

Might work out, might not. But if we don’t try, we’ll never know.

Re-visiting 2 of the most important places in the history of the Negroni 😍

First, Camparino in Galleria, the successor to Caffè Campari, the birthplace of the Mi-To and Americano, the two predecessors of the Negroni. A beautiful venue at the foot of the Duomo. Negronis with a view anyone?

#Invited by @perrierbe to the @the50bars 2026 in Milan.
Camparino was voted at the 18th best bar in Europe on the Europe’s 50 Best Bars list.

Negroni in the making in il Camparino in Galleria

One of the best Negronis I’ve ever had. The Paris-syndrome is real. The same food/drink tastes different depending on the location. Just like that rosé wine you’ve had in the Provence tastes better there than at home.

Next stop, Bar Basso,
Birthplace of the Negroni Sbagliato, probably the most famous twist on the classic Negroni. Still served in nice portions 😅

Another must-visit in Milan!

Sbagliati con i ragazzi 🤌❤️

IS THIS THE BEST CLASSIC COCKTAIL RECIPE COLLECTION ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET?!

I say ‘YES’. But I might be biased 😅
In collab with @ranvanongevalle I proudly present you the CLASSIC COCKTAIL INDEX.

Discover it at ClassicCocktailIndex.com

6 years ago when his bar was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ran Van Ongevalle started diving into old cocktail books such as the Bartenders Guide, written in 1862 by Jerry Thomas, Robert Vermeire’s 1922 book ‘Cocktails: how to mix them’ and the 1930 Savoy Cocktail book.

These old books are a treasure of information and contain many classic cocktails that we still drink and love today. But the problem with these books is that they are outdated and confusing. The recipes contain old measurement units that are no longer used, or use kitchen units such as quarter cups instead of modern bartending units. In the old days Italy produced predominantly sweet vermouth and France dry vermouth. So instead of calling them sweet and dry vermouth as we do now, the writers referred to them by there origin, which is confusing for ‘modern’ bartenders because nowadays sweet vermouth is also made in France, and dry vermouth also in Italy.

That’s why Ran took it upon him not only curate but also update over 400 of his favorite recipes from these book to take them into modern times.

Scroll sideways for more info!

Now in 2026, together with Ran, I added more recipes to include some modern classics as well and to make it an even 500 recipes.

But also turned it into a 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 ‘𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞’ 𝐜𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤.

500 carefully curated classic cocktail recipes
• curated by hand: no AI slop or web scraping
• manually adjusted for modern usage
• no old measurement that aren’t used any more
• bartender-friendly measurements (no 1/4 cups, pinches,..)

Interactive recipes
• filter by spirit / by method / by glassware / filter by ABV
• combine filters: for example ‘gin cocktails in a coupe’ or ‘shaken rum cocktails with low ABV’.

Customizable ABV Calculation
• ABV of the standard recipe is pre-loaded with industry standard by @yannickvd

@filliers_distillery Mizunara Cask

Mizunara, which translates as ‘water oak, is a type of Japanese oak that’s infamously rare. Mizunara oak trees must grow for at least 200 years before they are large enough to be cut into barrel staves. Mizunara trees grow bent, twisted, and full of knots. This irregular growth pattern means that coopers must manually split the logs precisely along the natural grain lines. Only about 1 in 10 harvested trees yields wood straight enough to build a barrel.

Mizunara oak has an exceptionally high moisture content. This is where the name Water oak comes from. This high moisture makes the fresh timber very soft and difficult to dry properly. Furthermore, once dried, the wood structure remains extremely porous. Building a watertight barrel out of it requires elite master coopers, and even the finished casks carry a high risk of leaking during the aging process.

The Japanese government heavily regulates the felling of these ancient trees to preserve the ecosystem.

Why would one use it if it’s such a difficult type of oak to work with? Because flavorwise it works magic. It imparts flavors and aromas such as sandalwood, some light incense, vanilla and some funkier notes such as coconut.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝟐-𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝟔-𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞... sorry, not sorry @ingmar_drinks 😅

This week, the third annual edition of Ingmar Drinks was launched in Amsterdam. It’s without a doubt the most beautiful and respected cocktail magazine in the Netherlands.

I had the honour of being interviewed about the Belgian cocktail scene and the bars that, in my opinion, you absolutely need to visit.

What was originally intended to be a two-page article accidentally grew into a six-page feature in the magazine because I couldn’t stop talking about the Belgian bar scene.

If it was up to me, I could have easily filled some more pages to add some more bars to the list. But I’m super grateful towards the editorial staff of the magazine for this wonderful recognition of our Belgian bar scene!
