This is a simple but delicious drink, made with french Amer Picon which can be hard to find in some parts of the world. But if you ever get the chance to buy a bottle, do it! The brandy float is a nice touch. It takes up the ABV a bit, and it also creates a flavour layer which is nice to sip the drink through. Picon Punch Recipe Ingredients: 1 teaspoon grenadine 2,5 oz Amer Picon 1 oz brandy Club Soda Mixing: In an ice-filled collins glass, add grenadine and Amer Picon. Top up with c

In Södra Sandby, a village in southern Sweden, Skånska Spritfabriken [https://spritfabriken.com/] are producing a line of very interesting gins. And the newest addition is a coffee gin, meaning a gin with a sublime taste of coffee. The possibilities to use this in cocktails are endless, but for our first attempt we created a dessert cocktail with chocolate and orgeat supporting the coffee gin. Turns out the velvety orgeat kind of hugs the coffee gin, and a smooth and silky cocktail is crea

Low on ABV, this is a very sippable long-drink made with both sweet and dry vermouth. We like how refreshing it is, and how well vermouth is used as the main ingredient. Vermut O'Clock Recipe from “Be your own Bartender” Ingredients: 1,5 oz sweet vermouth 1 oz orange juice 0,25 oz dry vermouth 0,25 oz simple syrup 2 oz club soda Mixing: Combine all ingredients in a highball glass filled with ice.

A drink to drink by the fire place. This one is boozy, and it's a play on the much appreciated classic Sazerac cocktail. We're using Naked Grouse scotch, which works fantastic in high ABV-drinks like this one, where the whisky is in focus. The absinth rinse is brilliant, just a tiny amount goes a very long way and you might actually wanna use less than the suggested 0,25 oz if your'e not used to absinth. That'll take the edge off Recipe from “Be your own Bartender” Ingredients: 2 oz sco

MeMento [http://www.mementodrink.com/] is a new, non-alcoholic product that comes in one of the most unique bottles we've seen. Half glass/half wood, the bottle is sure to make an impression even before its content is poured. But not only is the MeMento alcohol-free, it is also free from sugar, and gluten and of course it's vegan. So mixing a large drink with this, as we did, comes with no guilt at all. We thought mixing it with a lot of lime, simple syrup and a big splash of club soda cre

We think the Japanese Roku gin is so elegant, and this is the perfect cocktail to showcase it in. Because there is a lot of gin in it, making this a martini-styled drink. But there is sweet vermouth instead of dry, plus there are two surprising additions of sweet chocolate liqueur and super bitter Fernet-Branca. It all comes together beautifully and forms an interesting and intriguing drink that we are likely to make gain. Sun Stealer Recipe by Henry Prendergast Ingredients: 2 oz gin

#TikitheSnowAway Yes, it's time to melt some snow again with tiki drinks, in this fun January event arranged by @homebargirl [https://www.instagram.com/homebargirl/] and @ntitz [https://www.instagram.com/ntitz/] While this One Hot Ginger might officially not be a tiki drink (no rum, no tiki mug) we still get some exotic vibes from it. And as it is a hot drink it certainly does a good job at melting some snow away. The recipe calls for bourbon, but we chose to go with Bulleit's rye, whic
