DAVY JONES’S LOCKER⁠

This drink mixes rum and Fernet-Branca in an unexpected way, and it works fantastically well. The bitter Fernet and the somehow sweet rum marries, and is well supported by the sour/bitter grapefruit juice. ⁠ ⁠ Cinnamon syrup is super easy to make yourself. We pour simple syrup into a glass bottle and add a cinnamon stick. Then we just let it sit in the fridge for a week or so before we use it.

Picon Punch

This is a simple but delicious drink, made with french Amer Picon which can be hard to find in some parts of the world. But if you ever get the chance to buy a bottle, do it! ⁠ ⁠ The brandy float is a nice touch. It takes up the ABV a bit, and it also creates a flavour layer which is nice to sip the drink through.⁠ Picon Punch Recipe Ingredients: 1 teaspoon grenadine⁠ 2,5 oz Amer Picon⁠ 1 oz brandy⁠ Club Soda⁠ Mixing: In an ice-filled collins glass, add grenadine and Amer Picon. Top up with c

Lotta

In Södra Sandby, a village in southern Sweden, Skånska Spritfabriken [https://spritfabriken.com/] are producing a line of very interesting gins. And the newest addition is a coffee gin, meaning a gin with a sublime taste of coffee.⁠ ⁠ The possibilities to use this in cocktails are endless, but for our first attempt we created a dessert cocktail with chocolate and orgeat supporting the coffee gin.⁠ ⁠ Turns out the velvety orgeat kind of hugs the coffee gin, and a smooth and silky cocktail is crea

VERMUT O’CLOCK

Low on ABV, this is a very sippable long-drink made with both sweet and dry vermouth. We like how refreshing it is, and how well vermouth is used as the main ingredient.⁠ Vermut O'Clock Recipe from “Be your own Bartender”⁠ ⁠ Ingredients: 1,5 oz sweet vermouth⁠ 1 oz orange juice⁠ 0,25 oz dry vermouth⁠ 0,25 oz simple syrup⁠ 2 oz club soda⁠ Mixing: Combine all ingredients in a highball glass filled with ice.

THAT’LL TAKE THE EDGE OFF

⁠ A drink to drink by the fire place. This one is boozy, and it's a play on the much appreciated classic Sazerac cocktail.⁠ ⁠ We're using Naked Grouse scotch, which works fantastic in high ABV-drinks like this one, where the whisky is in focus. The absinth rinse is brilliant, just a tiny amount goes a very long way and you might actually wanna use less than the suggested 0,25 oz if your'e not used to absinth.⁠ That'll take the edge off Recipe from “Be your own Bartender”⁠ Ingredients: 2 oz sco

MY ME MOMENT

MeMento [http://www.mementodrink.com/] is a new, non-alcoholic product that comes in one of the most unique bottles we've seen. Half glass/half wood, the bottle is sure to make an impression even before its content is poured.⁠ ⁠ But not only is the MeMento alcohol-free, it is also free from sugar, and gluten and of course it's vegan. So mixing a large drink with this, as we did, comes with no guilt at all.⁠ ⁠ We thought mixing it with a lot of lime, simple syrup and a big splash of club soda cre

SUN STEALER

We think the Japanese Roku gin is so elegant, and this is the perfect cocktail to showcase it in. Because there is a lot of gin in it, making this a martini-styled drink.⁠ ⁠ But there is sweet vermouth instead of dry, plus there are two surprising additions of sweet chocolate liqueur and super bitter Fernet-Branca. ⁠ ⁠ It all comes together beautifully and forms an interesting and intriguing drink that we are likely to make gain.⁠ Sun Stealer Recipe by Henry Prendergast Ingredients: 2 oz gin⁠
