Another cocktail is the "Tschunk", which is hugely popular with hackers here in Germany. See the recipe here: https://entropia.de/Tschunk (the main ingredient, a carbonated, caffeinated soda called "Club-Mate" is difficult to source outside of Germany, though).

Apparently not. Our resident native-German-speaker managed to fill our fridge with it in Chicago.

Yech.

Available in Austria, Czech Republic and Slovakia with not that much trouble. Though mostly in bars/pubs and.. hackerspaces :)

A good cocktail showcases and highlights the component spirit(s) to make a more interesting and (hopefully) tasty drink.

Unfortunately when cocktails are based on nasty components, they often end up trying to disguise the spirit with sugary mixers like fruit juice or coke.

If you're interested in cocktails and don't mind diving in the deep end, try an authentic Sazerac:

Remember: the point is to highlight the primary spirit, so start with something good: http://www.anchordistilling.com/spirits/old-potrero-straight...
