Currant Affairs

This is the first time ever we are using redcurrants in a drink. The berries are used both as a muddled ingredient in the actual cocktail, and then also as a pearl-like garnish. Their sweet-and-sour flavour is phenomenal, and it really takes this drink to the next level. Then combined with the thick and exotic tasting guava juice, a rather unique cocktail is born.

April in Paris

When your strawberry loving mum visits, and you want to impress her with a cocktail, you serve an April in Paris. This gorgeously pink drink is composed by David Vaughn and we found the recipe in Imbibe Magazine. And I'm proud to say this cocktail got mum's approval. She adored the cocktail, both its look and its flavour. It's a refreshing experience and the strawberry and the elderflower shine through. Vodka is a good base in this drink, as it lets those other fruit flavors take center stage.

Pomegranate Martini

This is a Pomegranate Martini made with pomegranate juice rather than grenadine. This gives the cocktail an intense, ruby red colour that makes the whole creation look very delicious. Just like cranberry juice, pomegranate juice is a bit bristly on the tongue and it's actually a pretty cool thing in this cocktail. It is not a sweet drink but rather a well balanced one with both acidity and fruit very present. As seen in the recipe this cocktail is vodka based. Many times vodka is not the most

Almond Espresso Martini

Hey we are Swedes, and we are the world's third biggest coffee consumer per capita. We drink it for breakfast, after lunch and during our Swedish “fika” of course. But we also love it in cocktails. Hence an Almond Espresso Martini fits us perfectly. There is a lot of coffee flavour in this one, but it is also nicely complemented by Italian Amaretto liqueur contributing with an almond touch. 1 oz freshly made espresso 1,25 oz vodka 0,75 oz Amaretto 0,5 oz coffee liqueur Shake all ingredients wi

Blushing Mary

The Blushing Mary is a delicious twist on the classic Bloody Mary. But instead of using tomato juice a combination of muddled cherry tomatoes and tonic water is used to make this Mary blush rather than bleed. The recipe for this cocktail we found in Amy Stewart's fact packed book The Drunken Botanist under the headline “Pepper”. And yes, there is a hearty amount of hot pepper in the drink, but it's obviously up to you to decide how spicy you want to go in the end. To make this cocktail go real
