Last Minute Gift

We found this recipe via Imbibe Magazine [https://imbibemagazine.com/last-minute-gift/] and immediately wanted to make it. We did have some leftover chocolate oat milk, which we used instead of the suggested spiced oat milk, and we can tell it worked so well!⁠ ⁠ The oat milk creates this smooth rich texture, turning the cocktail almost into a dessert. The addition of walnut bitters we love a little bit extra, it's a fantastic bitter that unfortunately doesn't get used too often.⁠ Last Minute Gi

Feeling fancy this Saturday? If so why not stir yourself this decadent number by Ezra Star? Cognac cocktail always put us in the mood, and this one is by no means no exception. Italian Punt e Mes is another guilty pleasure, made with one part vermouth and half a part of amaro. Exquisite on its own and extremely good in this cocktail.⁠ 1910 Recipe by Ezra Star Ingredients: 0,75 oz mezcal⁠ 0,75 oz Cognac⁠ 0,5 oz maraschino liqueur⁠ 1 oz Punt e Mes⁠ 2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters Mixing: Stir all i

Scotch can be so fantastic in cocktails, and this drink by Alex Day is such a good example of that. What we like extra much here is the tiny addition of Green Chartreuse and of course the fresh mint. Very refreshing indeed.⁠ Smokescreen Recipe by Alex Day Ingredients: 4 mint leaves⁠ 0,75 oz simple syrup⁠ 1 oz scotch⁠ 0,5 oz really smoky scotch (like Laphroaig)⁠ 0,25 oz Green Chartreuse⁠ 0,75 oz fresh lime juice⁠ Mixing: Muddle the mint with the simple syrup.

After making ⁠the Le Meilleur cocktail earlier we had pandan leaves in our fridge. We quickly tuned them into a vanilla tasting syrup, and then we stumbled upon the recipe for Nicky Paris, which uses pandan syrup.⁠ ⁠ It's a tiki styled drink, but apart from rum there is also akvavit in the mix. As Swedes we appreciate that a little bit extra, and it is nice how good this spiced spirit works in cocktails. ⁠ Nicky Paris Recipe by Will Wyatt Ingredients: 1,5 oz aged rum⁠ 0,5 oz akvavit⁠ 0,5 oz pi

Le Meilleur

Le Meilleur

When Damien Lemercier visited the Corner Club bar in Stockholm some time ago he served us one of the best cocktails we've ever had - The Meilleur.⁠ ⁠ The drink is made with verjus, which is basically grape juice. Damien used a clear one, but at home we could only get verjus made with red grapes (from Mattias's parents home), hence our cocktail turned out much more colorful compared to Damien's.⁠ ⁠ It still tastes fantastic though! That sour verjus combined with the rum and the pandan-infused dry

Bourbon and Butter

Bourbon and Butter

Adding peanut butter to a cocktail is unexpected, but actually really tasty. Nutty flavors in general go well in drinks, and peanuts are no exception.⁠ ⁠ It does require some hard shaking though for that creamy butter to really blend with the ice-cold ingredients. And while the leftovers in the shaker might look a bit…weird, the poured cocktail itself is both beautiful, smooth and delicious.

High Five

High Five

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
