This is a really elegant cocktail featuring two of our favourite liqueurs, Maraschino and green Chartreuse. Both of them blend smoothly with the equally elegant Cognac and it creates a rather high ABV drink, that you'd want to sip slowly.⁠ ⁠ The golden glowing colour is so vibrant, and we think it signals autumn in the best of ways. Cheers!⁠ Post Shift Recipe by Ryan Thacker Ingredients: 1,5 oz Cognac⁠ 0,5 oz green Chartreuse⁠ 0,5 oz Maraschino liqueur⁠ 0,5 oz sweet vermouth⁠ 1 barspoon demera

When we posted a story with a bottle of ginger rum [https://www.spytailrum.com/] , George over at @geosklias [https://www.instagram.com/geosklias/] was fast to suggest a cocktail to use it in; a Mary Pickford. And that's what we did, pairing the spicy ginger rum with sweet pineapple juice and maraschino liqueur. ⁠ ⁠ It is fun to use new products in classic recipes. It's a way of discovering them again, in a new light. The ginger rum elevated this Mary Pickford to a super interesting level, addin

We're pretty sure you reacted to this recipe in the exact same way we did;⠀ ⠀ - A quarter of an ounce of Peychaud's bitters?!?!?⠀ ⠀ But yes, that is totally correct and not a recipe typo. There's something so liberating about removing that dropper from the bitter bottle and pour rather than dash from it.⠀ ⠀ And have you tried Peychaud's on its own? It's absolutely fantastic and it has a very rich, almost sweet and chocolaty taste. It's definitely not as bitter as one could expect of a bitter…⠀ ⠀

Described as a 4 parts Negroni and 3 parts The Last Word cocktail we could do nothing but to capitulate and instantly shake up this drink. It basically mixes our two all time favorite cocktails into one.⁣ ⁣ What's interesting is how the rather small amount of green Chartreuse shines through and still somehow defines the drink - it even manages to mellow the Campari quite a bit. ⁣ ⁣ The Carpano Antica Formula is definitely our go to bottle when recipes call for sweet vermouth. It's of high qual

Ok, let's be honest - this post is more about the peculiar glassware, than the actual cocktail.⠀ ⠀ We found these two glasses, with built-in glass straws, in a thrift shop and had to buy them. They're heart-shaped, literally speaking, which gets quite obvious when they're filled with a raspberry based drink.⠀ ⠀ Ditching disposable straws is very easy if you have glassware like this. They're a pain to clean though… ⠀ But let's not forget about the drink, it is a good one. Sharing some similaritie

Nutty Basil

Nutty Basil

We are using our home-grown basil in a rather unusual drink today. First we turned the fresh basil into a syrup by simply muddling a handful of leaves at the bottom of a shaker, then adding some regular simple syrup. The syrup is then paired with this peculiar olive gin that we've used once before. It works very well with other earthy flavours, such as those from basil. Also super intriguing is the white wine vinegar, bringing up the acidic levels as well as noticeably flavouring the drink.

⁣ After seeing this recipe over at Cocktailpodden [https://www.instagram.com/cocktailpodden/] we knew we needed to try it with our Belsazar Riesling vermouth. There's something enchanting about recipes like this, with only two ingredients.⁣ ⁣ The Riesling vermouth really got its chance to shine here, backed up only by delicious maraschino liqueur, and of course garnished with a maraschino cherry and some tiny flowers.⁣ ⁣ We enjoyed this drink a lot. It is dry in a rather subtle way, while ther

We love orgeat. It's such a cool sweetener as it is not only sweet, but also nutty, and it has this velvety texture. ⁣ ⁣ Using it in the Upper Crust cocktail is perfect. It pairs well with Cognac and it creates a very smooth drinking experience. And the Cognac used gives this drink a rather luxurious feeling.⁣ ⁣ The taste is rich and creamy, with a perfectly balanced level of sweetness. It is a drink to enjoy after a good dinner, as well as to kick off the weekend with!⁣ Upper Crust Recipe by
