Love Makes You Feel Ten Feet Tall…

…Jay Zimmerman certainly named this gin and pisco cocktail in the most lovingly way. And it is a drink that's easy to fall in love with. Four delicious ingredients and a tingling addition of salt. Have a look at this elegant recipe:

We really like these kind of recipes with quite clean flavors. You do taste all four spirits, at the same time appreciating the combined drinking experience they deliver. We also love how pretty the cocktail looks, especially in these vintage coupes which we are using for the first time.

Japanese whisky is an ingredient that feels a little extra luxurious we think. Using it also makes us think about our trip to Tokyo in 2019, which somehow feels very distant right now.⁠ ⁠ Here the nice whisky is combined in a slightly unusual way with passion fruit syrup and Aperol.

There's orgeat in this one, one of our favorite sweeteners. It adds sugar, but also a nice velvety texture to drinks, plus it has a certain exotic vibe over it.⁠ ⁠ Here it is combined with tequila and lime and then also Aperol which adds a cool bitter element to the drink.⁠ Recipe by Tifanny Kirk⁠ Ingredients: 1,5 oz blanco tequila⁠ 0,75 oz Aperol⁠ 0,5 oz fresh lime juice⁠ 0,5 oz orgeat⁠ Mixing: Shake all ingredients with fresh ice and strain into a glass filled with crushed ice.⁠ Glassware:

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.
