Spanish Caravan

This cocktail caught our attention because it mixes tequila and calvados, which we thought was a bit unusual. And as there's also favourite liqueur - allspice dram - in it we had to give it a go.⁣ ⁣ It ends up being a drink bursting with flavour. The allspice liqueur is of course really noticeable, despite its small quantity. The semi dry sherry helps bridging the allspice with the calvados, and the tequila hoovers above everything in the most elegant way.⁣ ⁣ A true little gem this cocktail is

River Styx

The combination of coffee and chocolate paired with whisky is what make this recipe stand out. It’s a wonderful after dinner drink, even having the potential of replacing a desert. Allspice dram, or pimento liqueur is extra fitting this close to Christmas. It tastes a bit of ginger bread, and it’s very strong in flavour. Hence just adding a dash like in this recipe still impacts the cocktail quite a lot. River Styx Recipe by David Kinsey Ingredients: 2 oz bourbon 0,25 oz coffee liqueur 0,25 o

Tobacconist

Almost tiki, but based on smokey mezcal and coffee. While we not at all encourage smoking tobacco, we can certainly understand how this cocktail got its name. The combination of flavors is really interesting. The very potent mezcal is paired with distinct flavors such as coffee, grapefruit juice and allspice! But just like in tiki drinks “more is more” and of course this recipe ends up being both delicious and memorable. Tobacconist Recipe by California Gold Ingredients: 1,5 oz mezcal 0,5 oz

Street & Flynn Special

The Street & Flynn Special cocktail by Joseph Schwartz is a rather spicy rum highball drink. The spice is coming from that pimento dram which we think is such a cool cocktail ingredient. A nice thing with these highball cocktails that are topped up with Club Soda is that you can decide yourself how high or low you want the ABV to be. It's easy to make this really low ABV by using a lot of sparkling water. It will dilute the cocktail, but as the allspice liqueur and the ginger syrup are so aroma

Mr. October

Mr. October it's called, although we made it in February. This elegant cocktail by Timothy Miner is best seen from above, as it's garnished with freshly grated nutmeg. With that nutmeg floating on top of this yellow cocktail, we thought it almost looks like some kind of planet or celestial body. Maybe even the sun? We love the use of spices in this drink. The nutmeg adds a real earthy tone to the whole creation, while the cinnamon syrup contributes with a wintery note. Then there is the very po

Let's focus a bit on glassware, such an essential part of any cocktail. We love going glassware hunting. The charity shops in Stockholm see us frequently, and we can never resist a good glass temptation. The coupe glasses in this photograph we spotted on a recent trip to Berlin, in a charity shop on Friedrich Straße. There were four of them, in perfect condition, but with no price tag. As the selection in the shop seemed quite curated we expected a hefty price tag but were really surprised to f
