Hole in the Cup

Hole in the Cup is the name of this cocktail. And according to its creator Lauren McLaughlin thats how quickly it disappears as it's so good. And yes we need to agree. This is a very delicious and fresh cocktail with some tiki vibes going on, thanks to the pineapple juice in it. Also those two slices of cucumber the drink is shaken with (without being muddled first) add a nice vegetal flavour. It complements the rather sweet pineapple in a good way.

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

Gin Gin Mule

Standing tall on this photo are two Gin Gin Mules. This famous cocktail is composed by Audrey Saunders and it is kind of a mix between a Moscow Mule and a Mojito. This cocktail certainly is as refreshing as a Mojito, but using gin rather than rum makes this cocktail more dry. On the other hand there is the ginger beer in it to add some sweetness, and a spicy kick at the same time. Summer is soon approaching Sweden, this is most definitely a cocktail we might sip on again, during those hot days

Negative Space

Maks Pazuniak is the creator of this cool and unusual cocktail. It's called Negative Space and it is a peculiar mix of gentian liqueur, chocolate, sparkling wine and absinthe. The cocktail has a taste hard to describe in words, but we promise an instant wow-effect if you try it or serve it to somebody. (Not guaranteeing you will actually love it, just that it will make an impression). Now we loved it, this is definitely a cocktail appealing to our taste. There are bitter notes, licorice flavors

Frozen Margarita

Ah, we completely missed National Margarita Day back in February. We will try to compensate for that today with this delicious frozen Margarita. There is a risk of brain freeze if you slurp this cocktail too fast, which is tempting to do as it's so good. But at least we warned you! This drink almost becomes a bit like sorbet, so a spoon is needed unless you have really thick straws available. It obviously tastes like a regular Margarita, but the freeze adds another dimension, an almost tinglin

This $@&!' Bananas!

Cocktails with banana we think is fun. A few years ago banana liqueur was more or less frowned upon, most bottles available were either too sweet or too chemical…or both at once! Today it's different. And one of the reasons is Giffard's Banane du Brésil, which actually tastes like real banana, and is balanced in its sweetness. This is exactly what we are using in this cocktail called This $@&!' Bananas! from @joshperrybar [https://www.instagram.com/joshperrybar/] as featured in the feed of @so

Baudouine

We might have placed it on a rubber snake, but apart from that there is nothing winding about this cocktail. Because the Baudouine, created by Gino Pellarin is a very straightforward drink despite its many ingredients. The result is so delicious! The chocolaty notes really shine through, mixing very well with the dry sherry and the aromatic tequila. This is one of those cocktails you wanna sip slowly on, enjoying for a long while.

Cuevas

Not all tiki cocktails need to be based around pineapple, coconut or passion fruit. The Cuevas cocktail by Dane Barca is a good example of this. First of all that small amount of cinnamon syrup is defining the drink quite a lot. The earthy and spicy flavours it adds to the cocktail are really nice. The port wine and the Punt e Mes lowers the overall ABV and give the cocktail a very pleasant ruby red colour. In the end the rum is the star, and thanks to it this is still very much a tiki cocktai
