Greenpoint

The Greenpoint is a variation on the classic Brooklyn cocktail, featuring sweet vermouth and yellow Chartreuse in place of dry vermouth and maraschino liqueur. Created in 2006 by Michael McIlroy at NYC's Milk & Honey bar, it is named after a neighborhood in Brooklyn and features spicy rye whiskey and aromatic and orange bitters. The Greenpoint is just one example of the endless possibilities for variations on the classic Manhattan and Brooklyn cocktails. Greanpoint Recipe by Michael McIlroy at

Rum & Rye Sazerac

The Sazerac is one of our favourite cocktails, and we usually do it with a split base of Cognac and rye. However in this version we switch Cognac for some very nice Brugal 1888 rum. It has a “dry” character that goes so well in this stiff cocktail where sweetness somehow should be kept low. The rum does add an interesting and refreshing twist to this classic cocktail, taking it into an ever so slightly lighter direction. Rum & Rye Sazerac Ingredients 30 ml dry styled rum 30 ml rye 15 ml simp

Cabaret Cocktail

The rather elegant pinkish colour perfectly sums up the experience of this cocktail. It's sophisticated, glamorous, fun and delicious. We love the name, Cabaret. It kind of makes it extra enjoyable to consume. We exaggerated the feeling by adding feathers, vintage gold cocktail picks and brandies cherries. Cabaret Cocktail Recipe Ingredients: 1 oz gin 0,75 oz Lillet Blanc 0,25 oz Benedictine liqueur 1 dash absinthe 1 dash Angostura bitters Mixing: Stir all ingredients with ice and strain

Bartender's Bingo

A lot of ingredients, and a lot of originators. This is the Bartender's Bingo by Luke O'Neil, Evan Kenney and Sam Gabrielli. According to the legend this cocktail started out as a parody. But the result turned out so delicious, the cocktail ended up on the menu of a bar in Somerville, USA. So yes, you need to bring out a lot of bottles, squeeze both lemon and lime, produce a lot of bitter dashes and then put all bottles back again. Is it worth it you may ask yourself… …we say yes!

Sloe And Unsteady

Sloe Gin is so colorful, and always fun to use because of that. So when we saw the Sloe And Unsteady by Jessica Sanders in Imbibe Magazine we needed to try out the recipe. When the slightly sweet sloe gin is combined with bitter Fernet a really interesting cocktail emerges. Apparently this is one of the bestsellers at Drink well in Austin, and we totally see why! Sloe And Unsteady Recipe Ingredients: 1,5 oz sloe gin 0,5 oz Fernet-Branca 0,5 oz lime juice 0,5 oz honey syrup 2 dashes Angostura

Sweep The Leg

It was probably the long list of ingredients that made us interested in Sweep The Leg, by Brad Farran. Yes, a lot of measuring to be made here, but if you persist you are rewarded with a tiki like cocktail bursting with flavors. The whisky plays the leading role, but the supporting characters also deserve rewards. Orgeat has always been a favorite sweetener to us, and we still have a home made batch in our cocktail fridge. Sherry is what we are using more and more, loving its dry and low alcoho

Stork Club Cocktail

Having previously been a bit hesitant making drinks using orange juice we anyway decided to give the Stork Club Cocktail a chance. We've had orange juice based cocktails before where the acidity and rather strong flavour of the orange juice more or less overwhelm the whole cocktail. However, if the ratio between orange juice and the other ingredients are perfectly moderated it can be really nice. In this recipe there is a full ounce of orange juice. But as it's balanced with fresh lime, sweet

Tailwind

Be honest now, how often do you use Madeira in cocktails? This is one of the first few times for us, and we did it because we saw Brendan over at Drinking Hobby [http://drinkinghobby.com/tailwind/] posting this intriguing cocktail. It's his original recipe, and he calls it the Tailwind: Yes that is a long list of ingredients, and yes it is so worth it! This cocktail is a flavor explosion, with boozy, fruity, sweet and bitter notes, all at once. We would have never even thought of combining Küm
