It's always exciting to try a product for the very first time. When we recently met cocktail genius Dustin Heimsoth in Berlin he told us about Jägermeister's new high end spirit - Manifest. And while its edition is somehow limited we were lucky to buy a bottle at Berlin's Tegel airport on our way home.

The first cocktail we decided to use Manifest in is The Precision Timepiece by Sother Teague. This recipe originally calls for Jägermeister, but we used Manifest instead.

We truly enjoyed this cocktail. It's herbal, bitter and subtle-sweet at the same time and it gets a wonderful colour from the Aperol. What we liked about the Manifest on its own was how much less sweet it is compared to regular Jägermeister. It makes the herbal notes more noticeable, making the Manifest very appropriate for cocktails.

And finally a word on the glass. Please help us decide if it's ugly or gorgeous as we can't make up our minds. We found this rejected glass in a charity shop sales corner for no money at all. It's crooked, shaped rather weird, only semi transparent and it's not standing very tall. But still . . . something made us pay the dollar asked.

Thanks Dustin for introducing us to Manifest!

The Importance of Ice

The Importance of Ice

When it comes to crafting exceptional cocktails, every detail matters—and ice is no exception. Clear ice has become a hallmark of professional mixology, elevating drinks in both aesthetics and functionality. 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
