Sunflower

Another recipe from Kara Newman's [https://www.instagram.com/newman_kara/] book “Shake. Stir. Sip.” This is a Sunflower cocktail, created by Sam Ross. It's one of those four equal parts recipes, that is so easy to make at home. It was super sunny when we shot these drinks. We had to shade off the sun, at the same time as we wanted to make the most of the light - it is a Sunflower after all. Then sipping on the drinks outside, in the evening sun was quite wonderful. The cocktail is really good.

Coupe De Ville

We believe this is the first time we're featuring a beer cocktail in our feed. So why do we do it now? Well, to be honest it's because we found this vintage beer glass and instantly recognized its beauty. So after acquiring the glass from the charity shop we found it in, next step was to find a suitable beer cocktail to pour into the glass. Thankfully we found the recipe for the Coupe De Ville online, and decided this was the perfect fit for our new glassware. Of course this drink tastes beer,

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

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

Petrichor

PETRICHOR In the middle of this week of Cocktail Detour original recipes we wanted to pay homage to our home country Sweden, and make an aquavit based cocktail. Now a few years ago no one would have thought of using aquavit in cocktails. But something has definitely happened and now we see aquavit in several cocktails, also when we are traveling in countries like USA, United Kingdom and Germany to name a few. And actually, aquavit works wonderfully well in cocktails. In the Petrichor we used O

Conspiracy Theory

The Conspiracy Theory by Connor Stehr is a sloe gin driven cocktail, which is extra fun for us to make as it contains Swedish punsch. The punsch contributes with an arrak kind of flavour, and it is relatively sweet. It plays very well with the sloe gin which is also somehow semi sweet, but is countered nicely by the lime juice. The sloe gin we used, Monkey 47, is not as intensely red as some other brands, so our cocktail ended up more on the orange side. It still tasted divine, so our complime

Monferrato

The Monferrato by Leo Robitschek is a rose coloured sparkling cocktail that tastes gorgeous. It's those few drops of Peychaud that colours the cocktail so nicely, also contributing with a lot of flavour. This is actually one of the cocktails we had on our New Years Eve celebrations. The cocktails are partially shot outside, in the dark and cold just hours before 2017 turned into 2018. It was the perfect festive cocktail for such an occasion.

Brooklyn Eagle

The Brooklyn Eagle gets a really nice colour from all that bourbon. Yes you are reading it correct, this is a 4,5 oz recipe with a whopping 2 oz of bourbon in it! Thankfully we had a large enough glass available. The good thing about the cocktail being so big is that it's actually a really delicious drink so being able to sip it for a long while is only nice. Also if you shake it long and hard enough there is the chance of a delicate foam forming on top of the cocktail, thanks to all that lime
