This Hemingway Daiquiri riff is very well thought through. Gin is used instead of rum and Aperol is used instead of maraschino liqueur. The bitter grapefruit juice goes along well with the gin and the Aperol. All that bitterness requires a small dose of simple syrup to keep the drink balanced though.⁠

In the recipe it's instructed to garnish with a high five (which is particularly hard when you are home alone).⁠

Wow this is a good cocktail! As long as you don't shy away from bitter flavours we think you will love this one. And made by Alex Day, it's guaranteed to be a well balanced drink.⁠

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

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.
