Cocktail Detour (Page 59)

Barbershop Medicine & Relaxed Lax

Holiday time! Oh, it's on! There will be parties aplenty, special cocktails to make and meals to prepare! The multi talented Elin over at TRAVEL * FOOD * COOL [http://www.elin.ca/] and us were chatting the other day about special things to make for celebrating the holidays. As Elin is over in Canada (we still owe them a thank you for Celine Dion, Bryan Adams and whisky) and we're in Sweden, we wanted to do a joint post on the history of native Canadians and Swedes, especially from the north.

Beholder's Eye

Thank you Nick Assaur for being such an inspiration on Instagram, and for always being so supportive on our posts. Today we are excited to share our celebration to you, and your cocktail Beholder's Eye. And one could say this is also an homage to Canada and a few really nice Canadian products we discovered when we were in Vancouver this summer. First of all there was the fantastic Odd Society Spirits distillery where we sampled and bought most of the products used in this recipe. And there was

Brooklyn Eagle

The Brooklyn Eagle gets a really nice colour from all that bourbon. Yes you are reading it correct, this is a 4,5 oz recipe with a whopping 2 oz of bourbon in it! Thankfully we had a large enough glass available. The good thing about the cocktail being so big is that it's actually a really delicious drink so being able to sip it for a long while is only nice. Also if you shake it long and hard enough there is the chance of a delicate foam forming on top of the cocktail, thanks to all that lime

Paris is Burning

Let us mix a Paris is Burning cocktail, created by the talented Leo Robitschek from Hotel Nomad in NYC. In the little black cocktail book from Nomad several of Leo's creations are featured, but today the Paris is Burning seems most tempting to make as it captures everything we appreciate from a true craft cocktail. First of all, we think that pale yellow colour is so beautiful. It immediately makes the cocktail look delicious without having tasted it. But as soon as you do taste it you are trea

Smoked Gin & Tonic

This is our smoked Gin & Tonic. This is a cocktail to appreciate with all five senses. First of all LOOK at it, the smoke adds such a dramatic effect despite being so simple to add. LISTEN to the sound of that smoke being produced and the sparkling tonic water hitting the ice. SMELL that deep rich smoky notes, mixed with the herbal and spicy notes of the gin. FEEL the bubbles tickling your tongue. And last of all, enjoy the TASTE of the gin of your choice, infused with the woody smoke. A cockta

Tampico

We love most things bitter, so when we saw all that Campari in the Tampico cocktail we needed to try it. And it turns out Campari paired with tonic water (which is also quite bitter) and sweet Cointreau is a wonderful combination. All those flavours really work together and the sparkling effect fits really well. It's truly a luxurious cocktail to sip! At our local supermarket they suddenly started to sell tapas picks, meant to pick up bite sized food with. We however quickly decided these food

Spicy Santa

We're approaching Christmas quickly, and today we are making our first hot cocktail of the year. This is the Spicy Santa, a Cocktail Detour original, inspired by several other hot chocolate cocktails out there. We wanted to give the cocktail some heat, both regarding temperature and spice level. So we decided to pair the hot chocolate with Ancho Reys, a delicious chili liqueur. It is a quite spicy product and you don't wanna use too much of it because of this. So to take up the alcohol level a

.3 Days of Winter

There are six different botanicals in the No.3 gin [http://www.no3gin.com/], one of them being Angelica root which is supposed to pair really well with orange marmalade. And as we are somehow getting close to Christmas we decided to create a Cocktail Detour original drink, bonding with the orange marmalade and winter theme. Hence we proudly present the .3 Days of Winter cocktail: That single clove adds surprisingly much flavour to the cocktail. Also using orange marmalade in a cocktail is a lot
