Emerald Toucan

We happened to have a bird coupe available, which felt very fitting to serve this drink in. The Emerald Toucan is a delicious one made with an irresistible combination of liqueurs, tequila and sour lime juice. ⁣ ⁣ We love the name of the drink, it sounds so . . . exotic! It's maybe not officially a tiki drink, but it's very close. We felt we needed to arrange a grass and flower backdrop to give this creation a natural habitat.⁣ ⁣ The drink tastes fantastic.

In this post we're shaking a “Loisaida Avenue” cocktail.⁣ The drink recipe is by Leo Robitschek [https://www.instagram.com/lrobitschek/], one of our biggest inspirations when it comes to craft cocktails with surprising ingredients, compositions and even drink names.⁣ ⁣ In this drink there is favorite ingredient green Chartreuse as well as a deliciously big splash of fresh lemon juice. The jalapeno-infused tequila combined with the smoky mezcal gives the drink a pretty cool kick, which is perf

We were actively looking for a new absinthe drink, and stumbled upon this one by Daniel Hyatt. And while there might only be eight drops of absinthe in the drink, it is still a very defining ingredients as expected.⁣ ⁣ What is particularly nice with this one is how the potent absinthe is mellowed by the honey - they really play well together.⁣ ⁣ Ginger liqueur is another ingredient that can be overwhelming if used in the wrong way. But we believe also the intensity of the ginger is mellowed by

Seeing yellow Chartreuse in a recipe always makes us happy. Less known/used compared to its green sibling, yellow Chartreuse is a smooth and less alcohol strong herbal liqueur that goes well in many cocktails.⁣ ⁣ It's now been almost a year since we bought our vintage glass camel stirrer, and we still haven't found just the right shoot to use it in. Now we figured we can't wait anymore so here we go, without any reasonable connection to the recipe itself, this cocktail is gently stirred with a

This cocktail caught our attention because it mixes tequila and calvados, which we thought was a bit unusual. And as there's also favourite liqueur - allspice dram - in it we had to give it a go.⁣ ⁣ It ends up being a drink bursting with flavour. The allspice liqueur is of course really noticeable, despite its small quantity. The semi dry sherry helps bridging the allspice with the calvados, and the tequila hoovers above everything in the most elegant way.⁣ ⁣ A true little gem this cocktail is

This is another cocktail celebrating the Swedish nature, as we are using local honey from Bee Urban [http://www.beeurban.se/] as sweetener. It is perfectly runny to begin with, so there's no need to turn it into a syrup. The sweet honey pairs very elegantly with the tequila, and when bitter Jägermeister, chocolate, orange and hickory smoke is also added this creation turns out to something quite extraordinary. Apart from flavour the smoke also adds drama to the whole presentation - and we have

We love mezcal. This smoky agave spirit is so full of character and flavour, and it always makes for an interesting cocktail. In the Mezcalita, mezcal gets to be the star supported by its sibling tequila as well as fresh lime juice and sweet and nutty orgeat. The result, a cloudy cocktail that contrasts so nicely with the clear ice we used. The rubber coasters by @champ.co [https://www.instagram.com/champ.co/] are made of recycled airplane tyres. And some of them just happen to have the exak

Movember is here, so expect to see lots of moustaches as a symbol for the month’s focus on mens health. Our contribution is this moustache garnished cocktail called the Bull Fight. And if you look closely, doesn’t that moustache also resemble the horns on a bull? We thought so, and decided November was the perfect month to post in, for all those reasons. The drink is delicious! Falernum is an exciting ingredients, tempting to consider nothing but simple syrup. But it is actually more of a spic
