Coffee with Jess

This is another almond delight from PositanoYes [https://positanoyes.com/] in Stockholm. And coffee and nuts go so well together, especially adding the sweetness of the Disaronno. ⁠ ⁠ Using cold brew in drinks is cool. By brewing coffee cold and slowly a lot of the bitter notes of coffee become less noticeable, creating this smooth and fruity brew that's just right for a cocktail of this type. This particular cold brew comes from Kersh kafferosteri [https://kershkafferosteri.se/] and it just hap

Do not go gentle into that good night

As winter and Christmas is approaching we are more and more looking into warm drinks. A hot cocktail can certainly warm you up after a cold winter walk, maybe in snow or harsh winds. In Sweden we have a long tradition of drinking ”glögg” with is basically warm wine that’s been sweetened and had lots of spices added to it.

We figured this coffee infused rum liqueur would go well with a nutty partner, and then we saw the walnut liqueur in our cupboard… To then balance the sweetness a generous amount of fresh lemon juice was needed. And voila - a coffee, rum and nut sour was created. Why not call it the “Eye Nut”?⁠ ⁠ We think the combination worked really well. Coffee and nuts together is almost like a cookie, and the rum base further enhances the sweet features. However the lemon then really counters the sweetness
