The Swedish cherries are here, and we wanted that to permeate this post. While not using the cherries in the actual cocktail they made a perfect side snack to be enjoyed together with the drink. And, with Heering in the ingredients list there is still cherry in the cocktail, although Danish rather than Swedish. The cocktail turned out nicely, maybe a little on the sweet side. If you prefer more sour drinks cut down on the simple syrup, or just leave it out completely. Brace Position Recipe by G

Cognac in cocktails - yes we think it works really well. There is something luxurious with Cognac isn't there, just like with Champagne. And even if only three quarters of an ounce is used, the Cognac in this drink still shines through and define the whole experience. Mixing it with Drambuie, a type of whisky liqueur, is quite clever. It adds sweetness while enhancing the boozy Cognac at the same time. And yes, that awkward tiny amount of leftover honey syrup in our fridge was finally put into u

Lido Shuffle

Lido Shuffle

Bubbly, pale pink, low ABV - what more could you ask for a hot summer day in Sweden? We find ourselves doing more and more highballs the hotter the temperature gets, and it's probably not so strange in the end. Of course nothing beats pure water as a quencher, but this Lido Shuffle cocktail comes pretty close! Lido Shuffle Recipe by Evan Harrison Ingredients: 1 oz Cocchi Americano 0,5 oz Aperol 0,5 oz yellow Chartreuse 0,5 oz lemon juice Mixing: Shake with fresh ice, and strain into an ice

Jaguar

Jaguar

This recipe uses Amer Picon which is a bittersweet French orange-flavored aperitif. It is a common bottle throughout Europe, less so in the USA. In this drink it is combined with another super French product - green Chartreuse. The more unexpected addition is the tequila, not being very French at all. Nevertheless everything work beautifully together, and we found this cocktail to be both elegant and a bit modern and avantgarde at once. Jaguar Recipe by Tom Schlesinger-Guidelli Ingredients: 1,

Honeyed Coffee Gin & Tonic

Honeyed Coffee Gin & Tonic

Being the coffee lovers we are, this caffeine-twist on a classic G&T suits us perfectly, especially in the current Swedish heatwave. Combining coffee and tonic water with a splash of honey guarantees a both refreshing and interesting flavour experience.  And the ABV is easily altered by adding more or less of the tonic water.
