Flora & Umeshu

Flora & Umeshu

Flora & Umeshu is a delightful cocktail created by Cocktail Detour. It combines the floral notes of Hendrick's Flora Adora gin, the sweetness of umeshu, and the tanginess of fresh lemon juice. To achieve a fluffy texture, the ingredients are dry shaken without ice, and then ice is added for further shaking until the cocktail is cold. Finally, it is strained into a coupe glass for serving. The cocktail was crafted to coincide with the release of Hendrick's Flora Adora gin, which is part of the "

Bordershop Selections for a 10-bottle Bar

Bordershop Selections for a 10-bottle Bar

Below are the 10 bottles we chose from Bordershop, and they are our recommendation to anybody who want to start a home bar from scratch. GIN Had we been challenged to build a bar with only one bottle, we would have picked a solid gin. It’s one of the most versatile spirits, and you can create a myriad of different cocktails with it. Unsurprisingly, the gin section is one of the biggest at Bordershop, and while most of the bottles are really good, the below six are our favorites. Stockholms Brä

Mixing with TREAT Irish Cream Liqueur Salted Caramel.

Tricked by Treat

This cocktail gets fluffier and smoother the more you shake it. The Salted Caramel Irish Cream Liqueur from TREAT works brilliantly as the base for this cocktail. It’s a creamy liqueur with hints of salted toffee and some vanilla. Almost like semi melted ice cream, without getting too sweet or overwhelming. To bring up the ABV we mixed with Cognac, and added a splash of cold-brew coffee, which we thought complements both the liqueur and the Cognac. Tricked by Treat Recipe by Cocktail Detour

Champagne Snowball

Wow @servedbysoberon - your cocktail recommendations are always of the highest standard! When Matthias spotted our previous egg liqueur post, he reached out and urged us to try Simon Difford’s “Champagne Snowball”. A recently received bottle of Champagne Piaff became the base. A crisp dry sparkling wine which is absolutely stunning on its own. It has those bready notes that we like so much, and we also think that pale blue label looks so good. The egg liqueur we use is from Poli, an Italian gr
