falernum - Cocktail Detour

Montgomery Slugger

A drink for the elegant-minded - made with top quality sweet vermouth, bourbon and several other good stuff in small quantities. The absinthe rinse leaves so much flavour despite being discarded, and Falernum is such an exotic and nice way to sweeten a drink. Then coffee and walnut liqueurs deepen those earthy notes, resulting in this much complex but easily enjoyable drink. (Don't forget the pinch of salt, a much important ingredient to balance those sweet notes).⁠ Recipe Ingredients: 0,5 oz

Carrot Daiquiri

We found this recipe via Imbibe Magazine and immediately remembered we had some leftover carrot juice in the freezer. What a great reason to thaw it and put it to use.⁣ ⁣ This daiquiri variation is so good. First of all there is the color, thanks to that carrot juice. We think that intense orange appearance makes the drink look tasty on it's own. But then there's also rum and falernum in it, and we adore both. ⁣ ⁣ As this is a frozen drink we kind of felt the Swedish spring quickly turned into

Royal Cadiz Yacht Club

We continue loving low ABV sherry cocktails, also during winter. The suggested type of sherry for this cocktail is Palo Cortado, which is style-wise in between fino and oloroso. Now we didn’t have this bottle on hand so we used amontillado sherry instead - which we think worked fine. (There was a very interesting post about Palo Cortado sherry from Matthias over at @servedbysoberon some month ago). What we think is so likable about sherry is that it somehow creates this luxurious ”Cognac-feelin

Physalis Sour

Physalis are those cute golden yellow berries protected by a paper thin coat. They are sour, chewy and bursting with flavour. Fun to eat for sure, but even more fun to drink it turns out. Because muddled together with gin, and fresh marjoram (which we were lucky to find in a store) they create a refreshing cocktail with a quite distinct flavour. Of course we had to use a few physalis fruits as garnish, they are so visually stunning! Physalis Sour Recipe by Oskar Kinberg Ingredients: 1,5 oz g

Bull Fight

Movember is here, so expect to see lots of moustaches as a symbol for the month’s focus on mens health. Our contribution is this moustache garnished cocktail called the Bull Fight. And if you look closely, doesn’t that moustache also resemble the horns on a bull? We thought so, and decided November was the perfect month to post in, for all those reasons. The drink is delicious! Falernum is an exciting ingredients, tempting to consider nothing but simple syrup. But it is actually more of a spic
