Disco Rhubarb

Disco Rhubarb

First of June means Pride Month has officially begun. Normally a month with worldwide parades, performances, workshops, parties and of course discos - all to highlight and also celebrate rights for the LGBT community.⁠ ⁠ This year Pride Month will be quite different because of the Covid-19-situation. Of course big parades can't happen, and also most concerts and other performances are cancelled. The hospitality industry will suffer a little extra, as will all amazing artists and other performers

Ad Astra

Ad Astra

Violette liqueur is a very special ingredient. It has an intensely blue colour as well as a really potent flavour. It can easily owerpower any cocktail. However used in the right amounts (read: small amounts) it can be pretty fantastic. It has floral, almost perfumed notes and it contributes with both an exotic and a decadent vibe.⁠ ⁠ In this recipe the violet liqueur is combined with gin and lemon juice, making it very similar to classic cocktail Aviation. But it's that addition oh Maraschino l

Papa Ghirardelli

Papa Ghirardelli

As summer is approaching so is the season for cooling long drinks. We like this bitter-sweet one a lot and we're extra happy it uses pisco as the base spirit.⁠ ⁠ We also appreciate herbal Benedictine liqueur a lot. Even though there is a bitterness to it there is also sweet notes, and it mixes very well with the red bitter liqueur that we used.⁠ Papa Ghirardelli Recipe found via Difford’s Guide Ingredients: 1,5 oz pisco⁠ 0,5 oz Italian red bitter liqueur⁠ 0,75 sweet vermouth⁠ 0,5 oz Benedictin

Banana Calling

Banana Calling

Seeing banana liqueur in cocktails never fails to have us intrigued. Being frowned upon during the 80s and 90s - banana liqueur as of today can actually be a high quality ingredient, adding both an exotic taste and a nice balanced sweetness.⁠ Banana Calling Recipe found via Difford’s Guide Ingredients: 1,5 oz gin⁠ 0,25 oz banana liqueur⁠ 0,25 oz fino sherry⁠ 0,75 oz fresh lemon juice⁠ 0,25 oz simple syrup⁠ Mixing: Shake all ingredients with fresh ice and strain into a Nick & Nora glass.⁠ Gla

Gusano's Delight

Gusano's Delight

Just because it's a vegetable-based cocktail it doesn't have to be a Bloody Mary. This Gusano's Delight is made with avocado and it is that base that gives the cocktail a smooth texture and a very earthy and pleasant flavor. With mezcal being the base spirit you're in for a smoky experience which is then nicely complemented by the spicy Ancho Reyes liqueur.⁠ Gusano's Delight Recipe by Craig Schoettler & Marshall Altier⁠ Ingredients: 2 oz mezcal⁠ 0,5 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur⁠ 1,5 oz avocado

La Belle Fille

La Belle Fille

One of the first drinks we've made outside on our balcony this spring. La Belle Fille intrigued us with that spiced pear liqueur in it, a bottle we love a lot. It's very fruity, almost exotic, but has that stingy feature which works fantastically in a cocktail.⁠ La Belle Fille Recipe by Jacquelyn Dowell Ingredients: 1,5 oz gin⁠ 0,75 oz Bruto Americano⁠ 0,25 oz apricot liqueur⁠ 1 barspoon spiced pear liqueur⁠ 0,25 oz simple syrup⁠ 3 dashes Peychaud’s⁠ Mixing: Stir all ingredients with fresh ic

Padrino

There's a lot of depth to this cocktail. The nutty features of both amaretto and apricot hug the rye in a rather wonderful way. The two sherrys complement nicely with their earthy flavors and lower ABV.⁠ Padrino Recipe by Daniel Schofield Ingredients: 1,25 oz rye⁠ 0,5 oz amaretto⁠ 0,25 oz oloroso sherry⁠ 0,25 oz fino sherry⁠ a barspoon of apricot brandy⁠ 2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters⁠ Mixing: Stir all ingredients with fresh ice and strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube.⁠ Glassware: r
