When we were challenged to use rosé wine in a cocktail we immediately started to search for a good recipe. It turns out there are actually lots of them and in the end we had a hard time picking only one. “The Rosé Bouquet” we chose for two reasons; it has grapefruit juice in it which we love, and we happened to have a bouquet of tulips at home making the prefect side garnish for this drink.⁣

There's a certain dryness to rosé wine that makes it work pretty well as a cocktail ingredient. It's almost like a dry vermouth, but with some nice pink colour. In this recipe it is also mixed with gin, so the ABV is taken up a bit. But as there's also a large splash of grapefruit juice in the drink it's still an easy sipper.⁣

What was left of that Enzo Bartoli rosé wine after the cocktails were done, accompanied our dinner. Rosé wine certainly equals spring to us!⁣

⁣As always, drink responsibly. Cheers!⁣

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
