Amore Morado

A little brown it turned out, but the taste is anyway bursting with intricate flavors. There's the aromatic violet liqueur, the powerful absinthe, the slightly sweet sloe gin and then tequila. An interesting recipe indeed, that we think worked well. Always nice to use sloe gin, it's such a vibrant product and we do appreciate its semi sweet character.

Gran Martini

We wanted to make a very Swedish cocktail, and were kindly gifted a bottle of fir liqueur from Jonas Bronck’s Spirit [http://jonasbroncksspirit.com/]. Swedish Jonas Bronck, born around 1600, emigrated to America 1639 and is believed to be the man naming The Bronx county in the USA. Some two hundred years later a lot of Swedes emigrated to America to leave poverty and famine behind them. Still today there are Swedish villages in the USA, for example Andersonville in Chicago, where we have visited

#sponsored post The lime garnish for this cocktail we are creating with the Arondight knives from Edge of Belgravia [https://www.edgeofbelgravia.co.uk/collections/arondight] whose products we’ve tried before. The Arondight range has everything from a small and flexible paring knife (seen in our photos) to a large and sturdy chef’s knife. They all fit beautifully into the Black Diamond knife holder, which we think looks almost sculptural in our photos. Edge of Belgravia are offering 20% off th

The Penicillin

Today we have made The Penicillin cocktail with Naked Grouse and Laphroaig. Combined with fresh lemon juice as well as ginger and honey syrup this becomes such a wonderful and iconic cocktail. If you are a scotch lover you need to try this, if you haven't already. (Chances are you have). The recipe is created by Sam Ross. #nakedgrouse_partner What we think makes this cocktail so spectacular is the combination of scotch and ginger. There's certainly a bit of a sting to the drink, especially if

Eclipse

This is a super refreshing agave drink, bursting with both berryness and sourness. Thanks to the Aperol and cherry Heering the drink turns out deliciously ruby red. A rocks glass is the suggested glassware, but we think this drink would also look beautiful in a coupe glass. We used a vintage rocks glass though which was a bit on the small side. So out of picture there is a second almost full glass of this wonderful cocktail. Eclipse Recipe by Leo Robitschek Ingredients: 0,75 oz reposado tequil

Penumbra Ripple

When we got the chance to try the Haig Club Single Grain Scotch Whisky we wanted to put it to maximum test. It’s supposed to be the perfect whisky for ”non whisky drinkers” which we thought sounded pretty cool. Also we were told that the Haig Club mixes well in several different kind of cocktails, and we couldn’t resist creating an original cocktail. So here we are pairing it with semi sweet sherry, herbal Chartreuse and orange driven Grand Marnier. This results in a sophisticated but focused c

Bingin Nun

This is a very nice agave drink. We think the blanco tequila blended well with green Chartreuse and a big splash of lemon juice. It's kind of sour, but still very distinct in its flavors. It gets a pretty yellow colour, making it look a lot like it tastes. Bingin Nun Recipe by Madeleine Solo Rapp & Josephine Sondlo Ingredients: 1 oz blanco tequila 0,5 oz fino sherry 0,25 oz green Chartreuse 0,5 oz lemon juice 0,25 oz simple syrup Mixing: Shake all ingredients and strain into a glass on a

Mother's Little Helper

Drinks named in a funny way we're always particularly drawn to. Mother's Little Helper is definitely such a name. But also when looking through the list of ingredients we immediately knew we would like it. Sherry has become one of our favourite ingredients lately, being relatively neutral it pairs well with most other ingredients, at the same time keeping the drink's ABV on a moderate level. The small amount of elderflower liqueur in this recipe sweetens the drink in a subtle but sufficient way.
