walnut liqueur - Cocktail Detour

Montgomery Slugger

A drink for the elegant-minded - made with top quality sweet vermouth, bourbon and several other good stuff in small quantities. The absinthe rinse leaves so much flavour despite being discarded, and Falernum is such an exotic and nice way to sweeten a drink. Then coffee and walnut liqueurs deepen those earthy notes, resulting in this much complex but easily enjoyable drink. (Don't forget the pinch of salt, a much important ingredient to balance those sweet notes).⁠ Recipe Ingredients: 0,5 oz

Eye Nut

We figured this coffee infused rum liqueur would go well with a nutty partner, and then we saw the walnut liqueur in our cupboard… To then balance the sweetness a generous amount of fresh lemon juice was needed. And voila - a coffee, rum and nut sour was created. Why not call it the “Eye Nut”?⁠ ⁠ We think the combination worked really well. Coffee and nuts together is almost like a cookie, and the rum base further enhances the sweet features. However the lemon then really counters the sweetness

Meet me in the Morning

Sure, it's not really morning when we post this. But this cocktail can certainly be enjoyed also at evening time. It is of course the coffee liqueur, and the serving in cups that justify the cocktail's name.⁠ ⁠ The coffee liqueur mixes very well with the walnut liqueur. Both have quite distinct flavour profiles on their own, but they still play very well together in the same cocktail.⁠ ⁠ So, good morning, and cheers!⁠ Meet me in the Morning Recipe by Kyle Jones Ingredients: 1 oz dry gin⁠ 1 oz

Waldorf Negroni

When we saw this one in Matt's feed we knew we needed to re-stir it. It's made with all things delicious at once. Apple brandy, fortified wine, walnuts and crispy celery bitters.

Rum Lahar

Flor de Caña [http://flordecana.com/] 12 years rum is Fair Trade certified, which makes this phenomenal rum even extra enjoyable. Also we absolutely love its toffee and vanilla notes, making it perfect to mix with other dessert associated ingredients. ⁠ ⁠ In this original cocktail, we mixed the Flor de Caña rum with banana and walnut liqueurs, tying it all together with dry fino sherry to balance the sweetness. The result is certainly a coupe full of loveliness, defined by the rum but with rat

Gin Crown

Tall gin drinks are great during the hotter months. This one which also has genever in it is a refreshing quencher with a gorgeous golden colour. The tiny amount of walnut liqueur is interesting. It feels almost unnecessary when you put it in the mix, but then you take a sip of the drink and immediately recognize that nutty flavour. It's a fun way of using liqueur almost as a bitter.

Queen's Slipper

As autumn is here, and winter is soon around the corner - starting to make these dark brown cocktails makes a lot of sense. We like sipping on this kind of drinks, accompanied by some lit candles when it’s completely dark outside. Now that doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun with the drink. A crazy straw, tilted 90 degrees makes the perfect garnish for this funny named drink. The taste of the cocktail is heavily defined by the Smith & Cross rum. But as this is one our favorite rums we don’t m

Sanlucar Sling

The Sanlucar Sling by Sahil Mehta [https://www.instagram.com/sahildmehta/]is another drink perfect for the warmer days. A highball cocktail with a lot of sherry, and then some cherry and walnut to make things really interesting and tasty. This was the perfect cocktail to try out one of our latest bottle buys in, Don Ciccio & Figli's Nocino Walnut Liqueur.
