Pirate Radio

A few months ago Jennifer Erickson @sheepishjen [https://www.instagram.com/sheepishjen/] stirred up and posted a Pirate Radio cocktail by Jason Walsh @nycmixology [https://www.instagram.com/nycmixology/] who also himself posted it in his feed even earlier. And now, half a year later this Pirate Radio has found its way to Stockholm, and the snowy weather that was present during this shoot. An edible orchid is the suggested garnish, however on Swedish latitudes these exotic flowers are rare. Wha

Boulevardier

#nakedgrouse_partner The Boulevardier is striking for several reasons. First, there's the ruby red colour thanks to the Campari. Secondly the flavor is so nicely balanced. We are using Naked Grouse scotch whisky which works brilliantly in this classic cocktail. And third, it's a three ingredients only recipe, with sweet vermouth as the final ingredient. The Naked Grouse is a blended malt scotch whisky based around a few different whiskies with Highland Park being one of them. Normally whisky i

Charlie Chaplin

This is the Charlie Chaplin cocktail. A fun drink with apricot brandy and sloe gin, giving the cocktail a very pleasant colour. The cocktail dates back from before 1920, and originates from New York's Waldorf-Astoria. It's always extra enjoyable mixing a drink at home, knowing it's been around for a hundred years and it still works brilliantly. Also, with only three carefully selected ingredients, what could go wrong? Stick to hight quality labels, and try to go for fresh organic limes and you

Tailwind

Be honest now, how often do you use Madeira in cocktails? This is one of the first few times for us, and we did it because we saw Brendan over at Drinking Hobby [http://drinkinghobby.com/tailwind/] posting this intriguing cocktail. It's his original recipe, and he calls it the Tailwind: Yes that is a long list of ingredients, and yes it is so worth it! This cocktail is a flavor explosion, with boozy, fruity, sweet and bitter notes, all at once. We would have never even thought of combining Küm

Sunset at Gowanus

We've chosen to disguise a Sunset at Gowanus, by Alex Day, as a tiki cocktail. Because all that rum, Chartreuse and lime definitely evoke tropical feelings: Some time ago we were gifted a taste sample of a small-batch-rum, produced by To Gents @togents [https://www.instagram.com/togents/] in Denmark. The rum is called Redrum, and it's delicious! Being a very flavorful and aromatic rum we'd say it's perfect in tiki cocktails, as well as other rum cocktails mixed with strong and characteristic in

Exile in Ryeville

The Exile in Ryeville cocktail, found in Brad Thomas Parsons's book Bitters, is a twist on a classic Sidecar. The smokey rinse is rather spectacular. Even though it's just a few drops of the Scotch that actually stays in the cocktail, you can definitely taste it. And we think whisky blends really well with honey. The Penicillin cocktail is a classic example of that, but also this cocktail proves the point. Exile in Ryeville Recipe Ingredients: 1,5 oz rye 0,5 oz Cointreau 0,25 oz lemon juice

Elequence

ELOQUENCE Monkey 47 has always been a favourite gin for us. We like the beautiful bottle and label on their own, but the product inside is so delicious as well. A rather unique gin it is, and many say it's best enjoyed neat on its own. This rule we break here though by combining it with several of the things we like. Clementine juice, lime juice and simple syrup to add acidity, sweetness and colour. And then we also add amaro Nonino and Cocchi Americano for a subtle spiciness and some more alc

Iridescent

IRIDESCENT Not only do we get to try Japanese Roku gin for the first time at home, but we also get to do it in our original recipe for the Iridescent cocktail. We started off by trying the Roku neat, and enjoyed it tremendously. It is a gin with very evident citrus notes, so we thought it would work nicely with some kind of citrus liqueur. In the end we opted for mandarin liqueur, and we also added Riesling vermouth from Belsazar. The pièce de résistance in this cocktail though is the red win
