Shipwrecked

The Shipwrecked cocktail by Raffi Jergerian might be more of an autumn cocktail. But we gladly made it also now during spring as it's anyway such a delicious cocktail. With both rum and cinnamon syrup in the ingredients list this is kind of a tiki cocktail, minus the traditional tiki styling and garnishing. What might look like a simple cocktail when served turns out to be a quite complex flavor experience. The rum paired with the scotch, accompanied by cinnamon and sweet Drambuie surely creat

Two Coupes Detour

We are just back in Sweden after a very inspirational week in Washington DC and New York City. During our journey we had the pleasure of meeting up with @twocoupes [https://www.instagram.com/twocoupes/] Tiff & Joe, at the gorgeous @macebarnyc [https://www.instagram.com/macebarnyc/] sipping through their entire cocktail menu. Mattias, Joakim, Tiffany & Joe at Mace Bar in New York City. Both Tiff and Joe are super enthusiastic about cocktails which their account is excellent proof of. They mig

Street & Flynn Special

The Street & Flynn Special cocktail by Joseph Schwartz is a rather spicy rum highball drink. The spice is coming from that pimento dram which we think is such a cool cocktail ingredient. A nice thing with these highball cocktails that are topped up with Club Soda is that you can decide yourself how high or low you want the ABV to be. It's easy to make this really low ABV by using a lot of sparkling water. It will dilute the cocktail, but as the allspice liqueur and the ginger syrup are so aroma

Meridian Daiquiri

The Meridian Daiquiri by Joaquin Simó we wanted to shoot in a vintage 1970s way. We had found some brown glassware recently in a charity shop, and we had some seventies wrapping paper available. We think it came together pretty nicely, the seventies is certainly an interesting era when it comes to both recipes and patterns. What's extra interesting in this cocktail is the combination of aquavit and pineapple juice. You're tempted to think these two components would not work together, but they d

Cuevas

Not all tiki cocktails need to be based around pineapple, coconut or passion fruit. The Cuevas cocktail by Dane Barca is a good example of this. First of all that small amount of cinnamon syrup is defining the drink quite a lot. The earthy and spicy flavours it adds to the cocktail are really nice. The port wine and the Punt e Mes lowers the overall ABV and give the cocktail a very pleasant ruby red colour. In the end the rum is the star, and thanks to it this is still very much a tiki cocktai

Pirate Radio

A few months ago Jennifer Erickson @sheepishjen [https://www.instagram.com/sheepishjen/] stirred up and posted a Pirate Radio cocktail by Jason Walsh @nycmixology [https://www.instagram.com/nycmixology/] who also himself posted it in his feed even earlier. And now, half a year later this Pirate Radio has found its way to Stockholm, and the snowy weather that was present during this shoot. An edible orchid is the suggested garnish, however on Swedish latitudes these exotic flowers are rare. Wha

Sunset at Gowanus

We've chosen to disguise a Sunset at Gowanus, by Alex Day, as a tiki cocktail. Because all that rum, Chartreuse and lime definitely evoke tropical feelings: Some time ago we were gifted a taste sample of a small-batch-rum, produced by To Gents @togents [https://www.instagram.com/togents/] in Denmark. The rum is called Redrum, and it's delicious! Being a very flavorful and aromatic rum we'd say it's perfect in tiki cocktails, as well as other rum cocktails mixed with strong and characteristic in

Captain Ron

Our families know us too well. Among the Christmas presents we recently got were Kara Newman's new book “Road Soda” and a beautiful flask from Rabbit. Wanting to put these thoughtful gifts into immediate use we made a Captain Ron cocktail from Kara's book. This drink, adapted by John Henderson, is supposed to be served at room temperature making it ideal to store in a flask and enjoy even when there is not a fridge or ice around. Consuming a cocktail at room temperature might seem strange to b
