Ice-berg

Those Underberg bitter bottles actually make a beautiful garnish, which this drink proves. Because after emptying the tiny bottle into the mix, the bottle is later used as a pretty striking decoration in the middle of the frozen drink.⁠ ⁠ And frozen drinks are a lot of fun on their own. It's just a weird in-between consistency that is sooo lovely to slurp on. You could attack it with a spoon or a thick straw, but you can also drink it like a regular drink, it just requires some patience. ⁠ ⁠ Now

Seeing Candide at the Royal Swedish Opera a few weeks ago was fantastic. It's a comic opera, and there was no shortage of funny costumes and surprising lyrics.⁠ ⁠ But we just couldn't resist bringing a flask cocktail. This one by Chris Hannah is absolutely delicious, and it worked well as a pre-batched drink. We've always liked the combination of tequila and mezcal, and in here the added amaro and coffee tones really complement the whole experience.⁠ ⁠ The glass? It's collapsable and it fits any

Dead Poet

In today's cocktail we are using clear ice spheres, made by ourselves with a system we bought in Japan. The recipe doesn't specifically say to serve the drink over ice, but as these coupes are rather large we needed the ice as a filler. Also, those of you following the cocktail brainchild Morten over at @thecocktail.blog [https://www.instagram.com/thecocktail.blog/] are probably familiar with his #cubesincoupes movement, encouraging us to use ice also in cocktails served in coupes.⁠ ⁠ And these

Road Flare

This desert-inspired drink combines tequila and Suze in an interesting way. There is not a lot of the Suze in the mix, and still it defines the drink quite a bit. Suze is bitter, very bitter - but nice bitter. It is also very yellow which shows also on the prepared cocktail. We think this drink is really nice, at the same being quite unique in the way it's mixed. Road Flare Recipe from Last Night, New York City Ingredients: 1,5 oz tequila reposado 1 oz grapefruit juice 0,5 oz fresh lime ju

Chupacabra

Tequila and lime is a classic combination that is always good. In this recipe elderflower liqueur acts as a sweetener and Punt e Mes brings both flavour and a fantastic colour. ⠀ This recipe is very enjoyable, and we are extra fond of the tequila and mezcal mix - they combine very well. ⠀ Salud! Chupacabra Recipe from The Gallows bar Ingredients: 1 oz reposado tequila 1 oz St Germain 0,5 oz Punt e Mes 0,5 oz lime juice 1 barspoon mezcal Mixing: Shake with fresh ice and fine strain into a co

Pineapple juice gets almost a bit foamy when shaken, and that's one of the reasons we think it's such a cool cocktail ingredient. Of course it also tastes great, it has a certain defined sweetness that's hard to replicate with other fruit juices.⠀ ⠀ If you make the juice yourself, using fresh pineapples, you are also left with one of the best cocktail garnishes - pineapple leaves. Their green color contrast so perfectly with the yellow juice, making the drink look very exotic.⠀ ⠀ This cocktail

Batanga

We're teaming up with Supersoda [https://supersoda.se/] in this post to feature one of the many high quality sodas they offer; Mexican Cola from Jarritos. Often Mexican cola is preferred in long-drinks because of the sugar used. Mexican colas are usually made with cane sugar, which gives the cola a very smooth sweetness, perfect in drinks! The Batanga is a classic Mexican cocktail made with tequila, cola and of course lime. The drink, created in 1961, was made famous at the La Capilla bar. Th

Mango Cilantro Habanero

We love mango, we love cilantro and we love tequila! Habanero pepper is another love, but there were none to be found in the Stockholm grocery stores this week. Well we subbed it using a red pepper instead, although it is nowhere near as hot as habanero.⠀ ⠀ The overall qualities of this drink we could still enjoy though. Drinking your greens is a fantastic idea, and Sother's [https://www.instagram.com/creativedrunk/] green remedy is absolutely wonderful. ⠀ ⠀ Finding the perfect mango is key here
