Described as a 4 parts Negroni and 3 parts The Last Word cocktail we could do nothing but to capitulate and instantly shake up this drink. It basically mixes our two all time favorite cocktails into one.⁣ ⁣ What's interesting is how the rather small amount of green Chartreuse shines through and still somehow defines the drink - it even manages to mellow the Campari quite a bit. ⁣ ⁣ The Carpano Antica Formula is definitely our go to bottle when recipes call for sweet vermouth. It's of high qual

We’ve been wanting to use saffron in a cocktail for a long while, but we haven’t really found a recipe that speaks to us until now. But when we saw the Niokronors-cocktail by Emil Åreng [https://www.instagram.com/emilareng/] we knew this was the one.⁣ ⁣ It’s almost insane what intense color just a tiny amount of saffron contributes with. We made a saffron simple syrup, that we later added lemon juice to, trying to find the perfect balance between sweet and sour.⁣ ⁣ Combining this powerful syru

So today it’s time for the final post in our series of Australian gins, and the turn has come to Moore’s Roots & Leaves dry gin. This product from @distillerybotanica [https://www.instagram.com/distillerybotanica/] is made using roots such as galangal and ginger, as well as leaves from mandarin and curry trees. The gin has a distinct flavour profile that we find very pleasing. In the Blushing Monarch cocktail we believe this gin works perfectly. It is combined with bitter Campari, sweet orange

In this Negroni riff we thought it was very fitting to use the Spiced Negroni Gin from @fourpillarsgin [https://www.instagram.com/fourpillarsgin/] specifically made to stand up against the flavorful Campari. It’s a great gin, also on its own. But it certainly shines in cocktails like this one. The bottle of gin we brought ourselves all the way to Sweden from Australia. @sandra_l_weissel [https://www.instagram.com/sandra_l_weissel/] took us by car from Melbourne to Four Pillars Distillery.

Nothing better than a solid equal parts cocktail is there! This one is of particular interest given its distinct ingredients. Mezcal - this smoky agave spirit that turns any cocktail into an aromatic and characteristic experience when mixed with. Punt e Mes - a very elegant vermouth with just the right sweetness to act as a good counterpart to other ingredients. Campari - the Italian amaro we would struggle to be without. Its red brown colour and its bittersweet flavour is unique. Cynar - th

#sponsored post The lime garnish for this cocktail we are creating with the Arondight knives from Edge of Belgravia [https://www.edgeofbelgravia.co.uk/collections/arondight] whose products we’ve tried before. The Arondight range has everything from a small and flexible paring knife (seen in our photos) to a large and sturdy chef’s knife. They all fit beautifully into the Black Diamond knife holder, which we think looks almost sculptural in our photos. Edge of Belgravia are offering 20% off th

Although it didn't say so in the recipe, we garnished this cocktail with some threaded Swedish blueberries. We thought they looked pretty against this intensely sunset coloured drink. And it gets it colour thanks to the orange juice mixed with Campari, which happens to be one of the most delicious combinations thinkable. This cocktail is bittersweet like Campari based cocktails tend to be. It's simply a gorgeous drink. Union Club Recipe from Canon Bar in Seattle Ingredients: 2 oz bourbon 1,5

Blood Orange Negroni

It is Negroni Week, arranged and curated by Imbibe Magazine [http://imbibemagazine.com/]. And even if we are not a bar we still wanted to contribute with a Negroni variation, invented by Emily Arden Wells [https://www.instagram.com/gastronomista_/]. The Blood Orange Negroni takes full advantage of the bittersweet flavour of blood oranges, infusing them in gin. We did this, as suggested, the sous vide way. (Placing 1 oz of gin and three slices of blood orange in a sealed bag, letting it simmer i
