Eclipse

Eclipse

This is a super refreshing agave drink, bursting with both berryness and sourness. Thanks to the Aperol and cherry Heering the drink turns out deliciously ruby red. A rocks glass is the suggested glassware, but we think this drink would also look beautiful in a coupe glass. We used a vintage rocks glass though which was a bit on the small side. So out of picture there is a second almost full glass of this wonderful cocktail. Eclipse Recipe by Leo Robitschek Ingredients: 0,75 oz reposado tequil

Tobacconist

Tobacconist

Almost tiki, but based on smokey mezcal and coffee. While we not at all encourage smoking tobacco, we can certainly understand how this cocktail got its name. The combination of flavors is really interesting. The very potent mezcal is paired with distinct flavors such as coffee, grapefruit juice and allspice! But just like in tiki drinks “more is more” and of course this recipe ends up being both delicious and memorable. Tobacconist Recipe by California Gold Ingredients: 1,5 oz mezcal 0,5 oz

Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique

Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique

The Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique cocktail might sound a bit violent (referring to the death blow in Kill Bill). And sure, this mezcal based drink is both characteristic, messy and loud - but in the most wonderful of ways! Mellowing that mezcal a bit is what the coffee liqueur in the recipe is doing. And this was the perfect opportunity for us to try out Conkerspirit's [https://www.conkerspirit.co.uk/] Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur. This is a premium product made with Brazilian and Ethio

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

Masonic

The Masonic cocktail is composed by Swedish super mega star Madeleine Solo Rapp @madeleinesolorapp [https://www.instagram.com/madeleinesolorapp/] residing at The Dead Rabbit bar in New York City. So despite the mezcal, sherry and amaro Montenegro in Madeleine's cocktail, incorporating a small Swedish flag in this shoot still felt very appropriate. We adore cocktails like this one, sounding quite simple by just reading the recipe and seeing three ingredients. But then already on the first sip y

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

Happy new year! Can you believe we are already saying goodbye to 2017 and at the same time welcoming 2018?! From a cocktail point of view 2017 has been fantastic. Not only have we been fortunate enough to visit several of the world's best bars, but we have also found so many new great recipes that we have tried at home. We obviously want to end this year with a bang. And the French Intervention by liquid talent Shawn @narphorium is a super exciting cocktail to be shaking on new years eve. The
