A Whisky Sour, a Sazerac, a Rob Roy or maybe even a Penicillin - those are a few of the drinks that whisky usually gets mixed into in our home bar. Whisky can be fantastic as a cocktail ingredient. Often very characteristic, it tends to impact the drink a lot contributing with distinctive flavor and also aromas. There are many great whiskies suited for cocktails; Bulleit and Johnnie Walker to name just a few. But then last week we got to experience whisky in a more neat form, when we had the op

Melon liqueur is a divider. Much too sweet and artificial some say, exotic and delicious other say. We're probably caught in between those opinions. But we really wanted to give this drink a chance, as it also includes vodka and pineapple juice - that we don't use too often. After shaking and pouring, you are left with a stunning looking drink if you ask us. The pineapple juice creates a nice fluffy foam on top of the drink, and the intense yellow color makes the drink look very tempting

Time for another classic cocktail, the Singapore Sling, famously invented at Raffles Hotel in - Singapore. By only looking at the list of ingredients, one might not feel so tempted to try. Cherry liqueur and pineapple juice sounds quite sweet. But thankfully the big splash of lime, the herbal liqueur and the bitter gin somehow bind everything together in a much pleasant way. This is a quencher cocktail, very refreshing and exotic at the same time. What we also like is the beautiful color

As a love letter to Tjoget [https://tjoget.com/], Sweden's only bar (so far) on the World's 50 best bars list, we have made their signature cocktail “Beets by Tjoget” from scratch, in our home bar. There are five ingredients needed to make this drink, and at least four of them require som planning ahead. Some of the ingredients could potentially be bought ready-made, but here we went all in, making everything ourselves. In this post we will show you how to prepare: - Beet infused vodka (sou

We simply love this drink! It has the perfect combination of sweet and bitter, plus its colour is really eye-catching. Using pineapple juice is fun because it creates this thick foam when shaken. No need for egg-whites here for sure. If you haven't tried this cocktail we urge you to do so. It's one of the classics, and the ingredients should be fairly easy to get. Recipe Ingredients: 1,5 oz dark rum 0,75 oz Campari 0,5 oz simple syrup 1,5 oz fresh pineapple juice 0,5 oz fresh lime juic

Provence in France is where the QVT gin [https://qvtdistillery.com/home] is made (Quatre-Vingt Trois is the area code for where the gin is distilled). One of the owners is Swedish, making our heart take some extra love beats when tasting the product. It is a characteristic gin indeed, making you somehow feel all those spices, herbs and flowers surrounding Provence. Quite the floral gin to us, and we like it! The cocktail we're using the QVT gin in is a classic Fin de Siècle. We thought a F
