When we commented on how beautiful one of the glasses used by Susan over at @susandjones27 was, she kindly offered to gift us the glass! So off on a journey from the US to Sweden it went, thankfully arriving in one piece a few weeks later.

As an hommage to Susan’s kindness, we wanted to create an original cocktail recipe, using both Swedish and American products. We started off with some delicious apple juice, made from freshly harvested Swedish apples. And then we mixed in some Swedish apple brandy from Kiviks Musteri, as well as some American Etrog liqueur from Sukkah Hill Spirits.

And it turned out quite delicious. A lot of apple flavour obviously, but nicely balanced with sweet and sour Etrog liqueur.

We placed the cocktailglass on top of the box it arrived in. Seeing all those details Susan needed to fill out for customs reasons, it was pretty easy to name the cocktail.

Thank you Susan for your lovely initiative and for your kindness!

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.
