Greenpoint

The Greenpoint is a variation on the classic Brooklyn cocktail, featuring sweet vermouth and yellow Chartreuse in place of dry vermouth and maraschino liqueur. Created in 2006 by Michael McIlroy at NYC's Milk & Honey bar, it is named after a neighborhood in Brooklyn and features spicy rye whiskey and aromatic and orange bitters. The Greenpoint is just one example of the endless possibilities for variations on the classic Manhattan and Brooklyn cocktails. Greanpoint Recipe by Michael McIlroy at

Mole Model

One of our favorite bars in Stockholm is bar Brahe at Hotel Reisen, located in Stockholm's Old Town. Their cocktail menu is always intriguing, and drinks are in most cases based on classics, but then have an interesting twist. Together with Irish whiskey brand Tullamore D.E.W. - bar Brahe's bartenders Denise Sjöberg and Paul Broberg have created the Mole Model, a sort of Old Fashioned, laced with banana - and we're talking real banana! To mix this drink you need to start 24 hours in advance by

Awarded by Bartenders

Bartenders' Choice Awards just took place in Copenhagen, and we were there to experience it live. Excitement was certainly in the air, especially as most of the nominees were present at this year's venue - The Plant. Also several brands from the business were represented, meaning there were lots of opportunities to grab a solid cocktail. We tried a Tanqueray Negroni, an Absolut Martini and a Koskenkorva highball just to mention a few. The gala was elegantly hosted by Georgia and Jakob - announ

Deauville

recipe by Harry Craddock 20 ml Calvados 20 ml Cognac 20 ml Cointreau 20 ml lemon juice a barspoon or two of simple syrup Shake all ingredients with fresh ice and strain into a coupe. This Sidecar riff is exquisite and the Calvados in it really comes through. The apple flavour fits this type of drink very well. We were lucky having some Amalfi lemons available during our Calvados Cocktail Lab session. These juicy lemons are sour for sure, but almost in a sweet way - if that makes sense.

Pommes Flip

by Bella Porcile 1 whole egg 40 ml Calvados 10 ml O.P. Anderson Petronella 25 ml apple syrup 10 ml Incredible sour mix Dry shake (without ice) all ingredients.

What make a great Sazerac?

The Sazerac is a classic New Orleans cocktail with a rich history dating back to the 1850s.
