Baudouine

We might have placed it on a rubber snake, but apart from that there is nothing winding about this cocktail. Because the Baudouine, created by Gino Pellarin is a very straightforward drink despite its many ingredients. The result is so delicious! The chocolaty notes really shine through, mixing very well with the dry sherry and the aromatic tequila. This is one of those cocktails you wanna sip slowly on, enjoying for a long while.

Petrichor

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

Masonic

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

Remember the Alimony

Remember the Alimony

Remember the Alimony is a three ingredient cocktail by Dan Greenbaum. It's supposed to be one of Robert Simonson's favorite cocktails - and that fact got us intrigued. Also we really like to use Cynar. It's one of the most available and approachable amari and it is simply delicious. We're not totally convinced you really taste the artichoke in it, but it doesn't matter as it anyway tastes so good. Remember the Alimony Recipe Ingredients: 1,25 oz dry sherry 1,25 oz amaro Cynar 0,75 oz gin Mix

Into Great Silence

Into Great Silence

We'll say it straight away. This recipe is slightly more complicated and time consuming than the typical recipe in our feed. The cocktail by JP Fetherston is called Into Great Silence and it's one of the most smashing cocktails we've ever made. Drink your greens some say, and it is exactly what this cocktail enables. Because the first thing you need to do before mixing this cocktail is to make a “jus vert” which is basically a slightly sweetened green vegetable juice made of spinach, parsley a

A(i)nt no S(c)herry

A(i)nt no S(c)herry - that's what we decided to call this Cocktail Detour original. It takes full advantage of the deliciousness of Maraschino liqueur and cherries as well as dry sherry. And as we couldn't resist having some worker ants deliver the cherries, the name of the cocktail was quite obvious in the end. This drink really bursts with cherry flavour. It's fresh, fruity and easy to drink. As there is also Champagne in the mix you get the sparkles and that tingling sensation as well. Comp

Brown Sugar

Brown Sugar

This is another gem by Leo Robitschek, and it's simply called Brown Sugar. And brown is certainly what you end up with, as every single ingredient has a golden brown colour. There is the wonderful Lustau East India sherry, and delicious Italian amaro Cynar. Then there's both rye and rum and mole bitters to bind it all together. We like how balanced this cocktail is. It's many different flavours compliment each other and create a boozy and stiff cocktail, that's still so easy and enjoyable to si

The Humble Hero

The Humble Hero, he decided to call it… When we participated as judges in bar 20hundra5's [http://www.noll5.se/] Invitational Cocktail Competition a few weeks ago, talented bartender Linus Morgan [https://www.instagram.com/linusmorgan/] from Tap Room Kungsholmen [http://www.kitchenandtable.se/bars/tap-room-stockholm/] served us this original cocktail. And he did so after contemplating our order for a low-ABV-cocktail for only a few minutes. This drink didn't only appeal to us, but also everyb
