Hug from Mary

This price winning cocktail is pretty amazing. First of all, it combines rum and beer! And as if that wasn't enough there's also coffee liqueur and sherry in the mix.⠀ Having your mum try this cocktail is a lot of fun. At first she's scared . . . because there's dark beer in it and she only likes light beer. But then on the other hand she's been to the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin Ireland, thoroughly enjoying the experience. On top of that she really likes all things coffee, and rum happens

Crust Rapture

In this recipe we wanted to showcase the volcanic features of Flor de Caña [http://flordecana.com/] 12 years rum. It is made in Nicaragua at the base of an active volcano, and the distillery is run by a single family on its fifth generation. What’s extra likeable is that this rum is Fair Trade certified and sustainably sourced. The rum’s flavour is rich, deep and almost mystical. There are notes and hints of toffee, grain, vanilla, arrack and burnt sugar. It is a rum we will sip on neat when

Knickerbocker a la Monsieur

Knickerbocker a la Monsieur

It's Friday again and we decided to shake up a classic cocktail, as we anyway had some raspberry syrup in our fridge. The Knickerbocker a la Monsieur dates back to around 1869 (and there is also a Knickerbocker a la Madame out there). It's an almost tropical drink made with rum, orange, raspberry and lemon. It felt only appropriate to garnish with flamingos as well as using rainbow-shimmering metal straws to sip with. We've made this drink before, and we like it a lot. Knickerbocker a la Mo

Four Flush Cocktail

Four Flush Cocktail

We are always excited to shake vintage drinks. The Savoy Cocktail Book, with the creations of Harry Craddock, is packed with retro recipes that almost all seem to stay relevant.⁣ ⁣ The Four Flush cocktail is no exception. All four ingredients are widely available and used still, hey even that Swedish punsch is sweeping the cocktail world and can now be bought also outside of Sweden.⁣ ⁣ There are only a few drops of grenadine in the drink, and still it intensely colors it. We think the end resu

Carrot Daiquiri

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

⁣ Earlier this week there was a rather epic drinkstagram meetup taking place at Tweed Bar [https://www.tweedbar.se/] here in Stockholm. Together with some of the most inspiring Swedish cocktail instagrammers, we were guided through the interesting history of Bacardi rum by Richard Man [https://www.instagram.com/rum_ambassador/] and after that we got to try the Supino cocktail…⁣ ⁣ …which is the entry to this year’s Bacardi Legacy by Micke Karlsson at Tweed Bar.

Elixir Tropical

This exotic cocktail won the 2017 Italian edition of Bacardi Legacy, and it's easy to understand why. The mix of rum and orgeat give the drink heavy tiki vibes, while the big splash of lime keeps things refreshing. The mint leaves, shaken together with the other ingredients, add just a hint of herbal flavour that finishes this drink in the most perfect of ways.

It's that time of the year. It's time to Tiki The Snow Away! We are thrilled to participate in this tropical event yet another time; @tikithesnowaway [https://www.instagram.com/tikithesnowaway/] This year we're going slightly more subtle. No pineapple, no banana, no umbrellas. But certainly a lot of rum, and nice notes of vanilla from the Licor 43. Combined with sweet peach and stingy ginger beer, this recipe by tiki guru Martin Cate is definitely a must-try! And yes, Sweden for sure need
