While visiting Australia we met up with Inoka at @cocktailco.au [https://www.instagram.com/cocktailco.au/] and she took us to @distillerybotanica [https://www.instagram.com/distillerybotanica/] managed by Philip Moore. There we got to do a gin tasting as well as strolling the gardens where all the plants used to flavour the gins are growing. This half day at the distillery was mesmerizing to say the least. It was such an authentic experience, and hearing Philip talk about the love he has for

Limitations No. 2

We spotted this cocktail over at @trufflesontherocks [https://www.instagram.com/trufflesontherocks/] and it was born when owner Jean-Félix was craving a Boulevardier but was out of Campari. Instead, he took all good things he had on hand and created this limit-filled yet limit-less cocktail. And it's a really good one! It's boozy, strong and in -your-face and that wonderful way that a cocktail can be. The Cynar adds the nice bitterness we've come to love in cocktails and the elderflower lique

The Last Mechanical Art

The Last Mechanical Art

Nothing better than a solid equal parts cocktail is there! This one is of particular interest given its distinct ingredients. Mezcal - this smoky agave spirit that turns any cocktail into an aromatic and characteristic experience when mixed with. Punt e Mes - a very elegant vermouth with just the right sweetness to act as a good counterpart to other ingredients. Campari - the Italian amaro we would struggle to be without. Its red brown colour and its bittersweet flavour is unique. Cynar - th

Floppy Disk

Floppy Disk

One point fortyfour megabytes… …that's how much data a 3½-inch floppy disk could hold. Overwhelming when it was introduced in the mid nineteeneighties - so small, but still so much storage possibilities. Today it would be considered low storage, so it's very fitting that Jenner Cormier [https://www.instagram.com/jennercormier/] made her Floppy Disk cocktail a low ABV one. This is an intriguing cocktail, despite the lack of high alcohol by volume. The slightly bitter grapefruit juice, enhanced

Remember the Alimony

Remember the Alimony

Remember the Alimony is a three ingredient cocktail by Dan Greenbaum. It's supposed to be one of Robert Simonson's favorite cocktails - and that fact got us intrigued. Also we really like to use Cynar. It's one of the most available and approachable amari and it is simply delicious. We're not totally convinced you really taste the artichoke in it, but it doesn't matter as it anyway tastes so good. Remember the Alimony Recipe Ingredients: 1,25 oz dry sherry 1,25 oz amaro Cynar 0,75 oz gin Mix

Brown Sugar

Brown Sugar

This is another gem by Leo Robitschek, and it's simply called Brown Sugar. And brown is certainly what you end up with, as every single ingredient has a golden brown colour. There is the wonderful Lustau East India sherry, and delicious Italian amaro Cynar. Then there's both rye and rum and mole bitters to bind it all together. We like how balanced this cocktail is. It's many different flavours compliment each other and create a boozy and stiff cocktail, that's still so easy and enjoyable to si

Anotha' One

Anotha' One

So a few weeks ago we saw something very tempting in Tyler James's beautiful Instagram feed. It was a mezcal cocktail paired with Maraschino liqueur, and that combination certainly intrigued us. Judging by the many positive comments Tyler got on his post, several others also seemed to like his creation. It was an instant bookmark, and here is the outcome of when we made it at home. The cocktail is called Anotha' One and apart from the ingredients already mentioned it also has Cynar, lemon juice
