Rum & Rye Sazerac

Rum & Rye Sazerac

The Sazerac is one of our favourite cocktails, and we usually do it with a split base of Cognac and rye. However in this version we switch Cognac for some very nice Brugal 1888 rum. It has a “dry” character that goes so well in this stiff cocktail where sweetness somehow should be kept low. The rum does add an interesting and refreshing twist to this classic cocktail, taking it into an ever so slightly lighter direction.

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…⠀ ⠀

Bartender's Bingo

Bartender's Bingo

A lot of ingredients, and a lot of originators. This is the Bartender's Bingo by Luke O'Neil, Evan Kenney and Sam Gabrielli. According to the legend this cocktail started out as a parody. But the result turned out so delicious, the cocktail ended up on the menu of a bar in Somerville, USA. So yes, you need to bring out a lot of bottles, squeeze both lemon and lime, produce a lot of bitter dashes and then put all bottles back again. Is it worth it you may ask yourself… …we say yes!

Humuhumunukunukuapua'a

Humuhumunukunukuapua'a

Humuhumunukunukuapua'a is the tongue twisting name of this gorgeous cocktail by Marcovaldo Dionysos. It gets its pale pink colour thanks to the mix of orgeat and Peychaud's. Always fun to use orgeat we think. It creates this matt finish that's quite funky on a cocktail. As the cocktail is from the Smuggler's Cove book, it should of course be defined as a tiki cocktail. Hence we enhanced this fact by garnishing with a chimpanzee climbing a palmtree. It's a really tasty cocktail, sweet and sour

PETRICHOR In the middle of this week of Cocktail Detour original recipes we wanted to pay homage to our home country Sweden, and make an aquavit based cocktail. Now a few years ago no one would have thought of using aquavit in cocktails. But something has definitely happened and now we see aquavit in several cocktails, also when we are traveling in countries like USA, United Kingdom and Germany to name a few. And actually, aquavit works wonderfully well in cocktails. In the Petrichor we used O

La Rosa Louisiane

La Rosa Louisiane

Peychauds is a quite astonishing cocktail ingredient. Not only is it a very versatile bitter, found in both classic and contemporary drinks. But it also gives drinks a very beautiful pink to red colour when mixed with clear spirits. A very good example of this is a cocktail called La Rosa Louisiane by Will (who makes up 50 percent of the inspiring @kaleandcocktail Instagram account). This cocktail is boozy, herbal and bitter. And we love it!! La Rosa Louisiane Recipe Ingredients: 2 oz gin 0,
