Happy New Year!⁠

How fast has this year passed! It is always slightly breathtaking to realize how quick another year has gone by.⁠

Exactly one year ago we were in Sydney, welcoming 2019 from the balconies of the Sydney Opera House. An unforgettable experience of course. This year we are celebrating back at home in Sweden which is also memorable in its own way.⁠

This cocktail is an original made by ourselves. Around the magic midnight countdown we usually prefer neat Champagne, but earlier during the day sparkling cocktails are super festive. In the Borrowed Feathers we took things in a fruity direction by adding raspberry syrup to sparkling rosé wine. We also added gin to take up the alcohol a bit, and lemon juice for freshness. It turned out very nicely.⁠

Thank you George for letting us use some feathers from Tweed Bar. And thank you Enzo Bartoli Wines for making this crisp, organic sparkling rosé that worked so well in this bubbly cocktail.⁠

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.
