We're going low ABV again with this cider-based cocktail. Cider is a good way of lowering the alcohol by volume while still keeping the drink festive and sparkling.⁣ ⁣ The cranberry cordial is easy to make. Boil down about two thirds of some store-bought cranberry juice. Add about the same amount of sugar and let it melt on low heat. This way you're creating almost a syrup, that tastes of cranberries.⁣ ⁣ The nice bouquet of flowers we got from our friends who was visiting us for dinner and dri

We are so excited about these new glasses. The layered effect is so fun to make use of, so we wanted a see through cocktail to take full advantage of the glass effect.⁣ ⁣ The Chicago is kind of a classic recipe, but we have actually never made it before - which is surprising considering there's both Cognac and Champagne in it which equals deliciousness.⁣ ⁣ It's a very social cocktail this one given the luxurious ingredients. It's nice to sip on in the company of others who also enjoy these wel

The Bitter Note [https://lp.thebitternote.com/en/] is an Italian bitter liqueur that is completely alcohol free. It is made with several different botanicals, and it is similar in taste to many of the Italian amari that we like so much.⁣ ⁣ When mixing with this product we also wanted to keep the completed cocktail alcohol free. So we mixed The Bitter Note with cold brew coffee concentrate from Sidekick Coldbrew [https://sidekickcoldbrew.se/] as well as a few drops of lemon juice to balance th

This cocktail caught our attention because it mixes tequila and calvados, which we thought was a bit unusual. And as there's also favourite liqueur - allspice dram - in it we had to give it a go.⁣ ⁣ It ends up being a drink bursting with flavour. The allspice liqueur is of course really noticeable, despite its small quantity. The semi dry sherry helps bridging the allspice with the calvados, and the tequila hoovers above everything in the most elegant way.⁣ ⁣ A true little gem this cocktail is

We love orgeat. It's such a cool sweetener as it is not only sweet, but also nutty, and it has this velvety texture. ⁣ ⁣ Using it in the Upper Crust cocktail is perfect. It pairs well with Cognac and it creates a very smooth drinking experience. And the Cognac used gives this drink a rather luxurious feeling.⁣ ⁣ The taste is rich and creamy, with a perfectly balanced level of sweetness. It is a drink to enjoy after a good dinner, as well as to kick off the weekend with!⁣ Upper Crust Recipe by

We’ve been wanting to use saffron in a cocktail for a long while, but we haven’t really found a recipe that speaks to us until now. But when we saw the Niokronors-cocktail by Emil Åreng [https://www.instagram.com/emilareng/] we knew this was the one.⁣ ⁣ It’s almost insane what intense color just a tiny amount of saffron contributes with. We made a saffron simple syrup, that we later added lemon juice to, trying to find the perfect balance between sweet and sour.⁣ ⁣ Combining this powerful syru

Two of our favorite ingredients are in this drink, cherry liqueur and amaro Montenegro. Both originate from old recipes, and they have been around for a long time. Hence, there's something rather poetic about mixing them together, and enjoying them combined in this drink.⁣ ⁣ The only downside of these ingredients is that they are not that rich in colour. The cocktail does turn out a bit brown. But don't let that fool you, it is still packed with nice flavour.⁣ Groceries for the queen Recipe b
