In a delightful twist to their spiritual journey, the infamous Kaulitz twins from Tokio Hotel are not just conquering stages across Europe but also flavorful cocktails. In the latest episode of their popular podcast, Kaulitz Hills, Tom and Bill Kaulitz introduced their followers to a special drink known as the “Zürich Spritz.” This cocktail marks yet another collaboration opportunity with Sips Don't Lie, a Zurich-based liquor company that has endowed the Kaulitz brothers with their delicious concoctions.
David Hubacher, one of the founders of Sips Don't Lie, shared how this delicious beverage made its way to the podcast. A colleague from Gadget Entertainment Group curated a gift bag containing their special liqueurs and a recipe for the Zürich Spritz just for the twins. Hubacher humorously recounted the uncertainty surrounding whether the duo would even receive the gift, saying, “We didn't know if the two would even accept the gift, if they would try the liqueur right backstage or forget it there.” Thankfully, the drink was sampled right before a podcast recording, adding a hint of spontaneity to the atmosphere.
The episode provided an interesting insight into the liquor itself. Tom and Bill explained that the liqueur is crafted from high-quality ingredients sourced from a small village in southern France, offering flavors such as lemon, mint, and apple. As Hubacher noted, they impulsively took a seven-hour drive to France just to start importing this unique beverage into Switzerland after discovering it wasn’t available online. “Although none of us knew anything about alcohol,” he chuckled.
Weighing in on this journey, the Kaulitz brothers jokingly recalled a moment involving Bill's dog Alfia getting into a playful altercation with Hubacher's friend's mini poodle during the gift exchange. “Sorry again!” Tom jested, capturing the light-hearted vibe of the podcast.
However, not all conversation was purely about cocktails. The twins also dive into the stress of their ongoing European tour. Bill and Tom, both 35, touched on their busy schedules on Kaulitz Hills, with Tom expressing frustration over his brother’s habit of relying on him for seemingly simple tasks.
Tom humorously recounted a recent encounter regarding room service, expressing his annoyance that during a hectic day, Bill had trouble calling to order tea and soups. “You pretend to be stupid!” he chastised his brother, who defended himself by explaining that he was swamped with other responsibilities, suggesting that it wasn’t always manageable to take on added tasks. “Lass es sein,” he insisted, expressing discomfort over Tom’s remarks.
The discussion escalated into a playful argument about their differing character traits, with Tom criticizing Bill’s dependence on others to handle straightforward requests. “This is not a beautiful character trait,” Tom asserted, implying that Bill might be capable of managing such tasks on his own.
Despite a moment of playful tension, they reunited through shared laughter about the very soup Tom managed to order, which seemingly turned out to be delicious. It’s moments like these that shed light on their sibling bond, making listeners feel a part of the hilarity that ensues behind the scenes of their lives.
As the episode concluded, their collaboration with Sips Don’t Lie continues to flourish within Zurich’s bar scene, catching the ear of many listeners who may be interested in exploring this fine liquor. With their appeal reaching far and wide, the boys of Tokio Hotel once again showcase their versatility as artists who skillfully blend music, humor, and now unique cocktails.
