This fritz-limo that Supersoda sent us surely is summer in bottle. Not only does it taste of apple, elderflower and cherry, but it also has the most gorgeous ruby-red colour, screaming to be used in cocktails!

As we had some strawberries left over, we thought we should make a strawberry-coloured drink. The pink gin from Gibson's was an obvious choice for base-spirit as it actually tastes strawberry! We like that it is still not overly sweet despite being a pink gin, and it's a great base for those summery drinks.

We did want a bitter element as well, and in keeping with the ruby red theme Campari was a no-brainer. Some dashes of rhubarb bitters finalized the whole creation in a delicious way.

The drink turned out really fresh and fruity. This is the definition of a summer-sipper!

Rum in Cocktails
Barceló Imperial

Rum in Cocktails

Rum is a versatile spirit. It can be enjoyed both neat and in cocktails. It is a vital ingredient in several classic drinks, as well as in newer cocktail creations. Here are suggestions for three fantastic cocktails, made with Barceló Imperial. It is a rum made in the Dominican Republic, aged for up to ten years on oak casks. The rum tastes of caramel, vanilla, toasted nuts and wood - hence making it an excellent rum for mixing cocktails with. In Sweden Barceló Imperial can be ordered here. DO

Plum & Done
A gin cocktail, with plum syrup and lemon

Plum & Done

On a recent visit to Skåne, in the south of Sweden, we stumbled upon a plum tree with thousand of ripe plums on it. We turned them into syrup, and we put some others in rum, to be used as garnish. The result is a gin sour with taste and color from those plums, we call it Plum & Done! 50 ml gin (we used Skånska Spritfabriken's) 30 ml fresh lemon juice 20 ml plum syrup Shake with fresh ice, strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with a brandied plum pierced by a tiny fork.
