Loisaida Avenue

In this post we're shaking a “Loisaida Avenue” cocktail.⁣ The drink recipe is by Leo Robitschek [https://www.instagram.com/lrobitschek/], one of our biggest inspirations when it comes to craft cocktails with surprising ingredients, compositions and even drink names.⁣ ⁣ In this drink there is favorite ingredient green Chartreuse as well as a deliciously big splash of fresh lemon juice. The jalapeno-infused tequila combined with the smoky mezcal gives the drink a pretty cool kick, which is perf

Peaches and Smoke

There are a lot of ingredients in this one, and we were confident we had them all in our home bar. Well, thats until we pulled out what we thought was Lillet rosé from our wine fridge, and realized it was actually Lillet rouge. Not exactly the same thing, but still close enough to still go along. ⁣ ⁣ Because what's really defining this cocktail is the peach paired with scotch. It's an interesting combination of fruit and smoke that works well. There are Blood and Sand vibes going on, and we ad

We were actively looking for a new absinthe drink, and stumbled upon this one by Daniel Hyatt. And while there might only be eight drops of absinthe in the drink, it is still a very defining ingredients as expected.⁣ ⁣ What is particularly nice with this one is how the potent absinthe is mellowed by the honey - they really play well together.⁣ ⁣ Ginger liqueur is another ingredient that can be overwhelming if used in the wrong way. But we believe also the intensity of the ginger is mellowed by

Four Flush Cocktail

Four Flush Cocktail

We are always excited to shake vintage drinks. The Savoy Cocktail Book, with the creations of Harry Craddock, is packed with retro recipes that almost all seem to stay relevant.⁣ ⁣ The Four Flush cocktail is no exception. All four ingredients are widely available and used still, hey even that Swedish punsch is sweeping the cocktail world and can now be bought also outside of Sweden.⁣ ⁣ There are only a few drops of grenadine in the drink, and still it intensely colors it. We think the end resu

Carrot Daiquiri

Carrot Daiquiri

We found this recipe via Imbibe Magazine and immediately remembered we had some leftover carrot juice in the freezer. What a great reason to thaw it and put it to use.⁣ ⁣ This daiquiri variation is so good. First of all there is the color, thanks to that carrot juice. We think that intense orange appearance makes the drink look tasty on it's own. But then there's also rum and falernum in it, and we adore both. ⁣ ⁣ As this is a frozen drink we kind of felt the Swedish spring quickly turned into

The Cornell Special

It's soon empty, our bottle of Porter's Gin [https://portersgin.co.uk/]. The second last drink we're using it in had to be a classic. And it works brilliantly in this recipe adapted from Harry Craddock.⁣ ⁣ Benedictine is an interesting herbal liqueur, and it works really well in gin cocktails. The Cornell Special is a good example of that, especially as it is an equal part recipe so no ingredient overpowers the other.⁣ ⁣ We've always liked sour cocktails a little bit extra, and with a full flu

Green Beast

In Berlin there is a shop called Absinth Depot [https://absinthdepot.de/en/] and they are of course specializing in absinthe. When we were there recently we not only got to try several different absinthes, but we also got some good advices on which bottles to bring home. ⁣ ⁣ In this, the Green Beast cocktail, we are using an absinthe from Lemercier Frères. They are basically not present in social media which is unusual these day. But we also find that a bit liberating. They obviously focus all
