Court Royale

⁠ We've been making a lot of yellow cocktails lately, and here is another one. It was the combination of gin and applejack that got us interested, but it is the lemon juice and the Lillet Blanc that give the drink its colour. All ingredients contribute to the great flavour though, and the cocktail is really enjoyable. Cheers and happy Saturday.⁠ Court Royale Recipe by Julien Calella Ingredients: 1 oz London dry gin⁠ 0,75 oz Lillet Blanc⁠ 0,75 oz fresh lemon juice⁠ 0,5 oz applejack⁠ 0,5 oz simp

A few weeks ago we celebrated midsummer in Sweden. It is one of the occasions when drinking akvavit is extra appropriate. Akvavit is a traditional, strong and spicy spirit that is consumed throughout the Nordic countries. This brand new version from Stockholms Bränneri [http://www.stockholmsbranneri.com/] is flavoured with dill flower, elderflower and juniper. And especially because of the juniper this akvavit has a certain gin feeling to it, which is absolutely delicious. In this recipe the

The Seville

The Seville

An interesting cocktail made with gin, sherry and Lillet. A gorgeous combination creating a beautiful drink. We think it’s a ”clean” cocktail as you can actually taste all three individual liquid ingredients in the final result. The herbal gin, the dry fruit from the sherry and the slight flowery sweetness from the Lillet. The Seville Recipe by Nick Mautone Ingredients: 0,5 oz fino sherry 2 oz gin 0,75 oz Lillet Blanc 2 dashes orange bitters 2 orange twists Mixing: Start by rinsing a chilled

Cabaret Cocktail

Cabaret Cocktail

The rather elegant pinkish colour perfectly sums up the experience of this cocktail. It's sophisticated, glamorous, fun and delicious. We love the name, Cabaret. It kind of makes it extra enjoyable to consume. We exaggerated the feeling by adding feathers, vintage gold cocktail picks and brandies cherries. Cabaret Cocktail Recipe Ingredients: 1 oz gin 0,75 oz Lillet Blanc 0,25 oz Benedictine liqueur 1 dash absinthe 1 dash Angostura bitters Mixing: Stir all ingredients with ice and strain

Le Coquetiez Du Lion

Le Coquetiez Du Lion

Apparently the house cocktail of Bar Le Lion in Hamburg, Le Coquetiez Du Lion is as simple to make as it is delicious to drink. We love cocktails like this, few and available ingredients, but still a stunning end result. Its colour is so delicate, and all that fruit from the Lillet combined with the stiff gin, proves that the final mix can be even greater than its good parts.

We are quite excited about new book “Do It The French Way” by Daniel Gaujac. This book covers five of France's most iconic apereitifs; Byrrh, Suze, Ricard, Lillet and Pernod Absinthe. While not being a recipe book per se, it rather covers the history of these spirits, accompanied with some gorgeous photographs. There's also a lot of vintage barware in the photos, if you just like us think that's intriguing. However, the second part of the book are interviews with some of the world's best barten
