The Last Laph - the name of this cocktail has a few different meanings.

First it's a play on Laphroaig, the brand of smoky scotch originally used in this drink.

Secondly it's a nod towards classic cocktail The Last Word also being a four ingredients equal part recipe.

Third, whoever drinks this cocktail might get the last laugh. It's a surprising cocktail with lots of memorable flavors.

The recipe is by Justin Lavenue.

Mixing scotch and ginger make you think about another tasty whisky cocktail, The Penicillin as it also contains ginger. However what really intrigued us here was the use of pineapple juice, something we've never seen paired with scotch and ginger before.

And this cocktail is delicious! As long as you like the idea of a really smoky scotch in your cocktail this might very well become one of your favorite recipes, it's that good we think!

There really is smokiness, sourness, sweetness and spiciness all at once, and somehow it magically works!

Unlike cloudy ice, clear ice is free of impurities and air bubbles, offering a pristine, glass-like appearance that enhances the visual appeal of any cocktail. But it's not just about looks. Clear ice is denser and melts more slowly, keeping your drink colder for longer without diluting its

A Spirit(ual) Journey Throughout the North of Sweden

It has always been on our wishlist, to tour the more northern parts of Sweden. Our interest in spirits and cocktails have taken us to many places in Sweden and abroad, but until now not really more north than Uppsala. Well this just changed, as we got the chance to pay a visit to gin producer Norrbottens Destilleri. And this was just the start of five fantastic days, driving between so many beautiful spots. Norrbottens Destilleri Töre, close to Kalix, is where Norrbottens Destilleri produce the
