Coup d'etat

We had a feeling this one could end up a little on the sweet side according to our personal taste - and it kind of did… However it's basically only the amount of grenadine used that determines the level of sweetness, so it can be easily adjusted. Next time we will only use 0,5 oz of grenadine.⁣ ⁣ And we will most likely make this drink again, because it's an interesting one. Scotch on its own is delicious, and the Haig Club we are using is particularly good to mix with. Punt e Mes is a bitter-

Pineapple juice gets almost a bit foamy when shaken, and that's one of the reasons we think it's such a cool cocktail ingredient. Of course it also tastes great, it has a certain defined sweetness that's hard to replicate with other fruit juices.⠀ ⠀ If you make the juice yourself, using fresh pineapples, you are also left with one of the best cocktail garnishes - pineapple leaves. Their green color contrast so perfectly with the yellow juice, making the drink look very exotic.⠀ ⠀ This cocktail

Hug from Mary

This price winning cocktail is pretty amazing. First of all, it combines rum and beer! And as if that wasn't enough there's also coffee liqueur and sherry in the mix.⠀ Having your mum try this cocktail is a lot of fun. At first she's scared . . . because there's dark beer in it and she only likes light beer. But then on the other hand she's been to the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin Ireland, thoroughly enjoying the experience. On top of that she really likes all things coffee, and rum happens

Amber and Wine

A few weeks ago we celebrated midsummer in Sweden. It is one of the occasions when drinking akvavit is extra appropriate. Akvavit is a traditional, strong and spicy spirit that is consumed throughout the Nordic countries. This brand new version from Stockholms Bränneri [http://www.stockholmsbranneri.com/] is flavoured with dill flower, elderflower and juniper. And especially because of the juniper this akvavit has a certain gin feeling to it, which is absolutely delicious. In this recipe the

Pink is Cooler

Pink gins are sweeping the summer, and Gibson's kindly offered us to try their version. We wanted to turn it into a cooler, taking down the ABV and therefore allowing for bigger sips of this quencher. We wanted to enhance the pink by mixing with Lillet Rouge and adding red Peychaud's bitters. Before the club soda is added the drink might look almost red in the glass, but that carbonated water turns everything pink in the end. The more water you add, the pinker the cocktail gets. While we gener

Batanga

We're teaming up with Supersoda [https://supersoda.se/] in this post to feature one of the many high quality sodas they offer; Mexican Cola from Jarritos. Often Mexican cola is preferred in long-drinks because of the sugar used. Mexican colas are usually made with cane sugar, which gives the cola a very smooth sweetness, perfect in drinks! The Batanga is a classic Mexican cocktail made with tequila, cola and of course lime. The drink, created in 1961, was made famous at the La Capilla bar. Th

Punt e Mes & Soda

Punt e Mes means “one and a half” and it's made of one part vermouth and one part amaro. So it's more or less a cocktail already to begin with and that's why adding just a splash of club soda is all that's needed to turn everything into a nice and refreshing drink. This is a perfect summer sip! Punt e Mes & Soda Recipe Ingredients: 3 oz (or more) Punt e Mes club soda to top up with Mixing: It doesn't get much more simple. Into a highballglass add the Punt e Mes and some fresh ice. Top up wit

Crust Rapture

In this recipe we wanted to showcase the volcanic features of Flor de Caña [http://flordecana.com/] 12 years rum. It is made in Nicaragua at the base of an active volcano, and the distillery is run by a single family on its fifth generation. What’s extra likeable is that this rum is Fair Trade certified and sustainably sourced. The rum’s flavour is rich, deep and almost mystical. There are notes and hints of toffee, grain, vanilla, arrack and burnt sugar. It is a rum we will sip on neat when
