We have actually had this drink some years ago, at Bar Goto in New York [https://www.bargoto.com/]. We were so stunned by the beauty of simplicity in this drink. Some very “pure” ingredients combine with elegant shiso and it creates this sophisticated, low-ABV-cocktail.⁠ ⁠ Finding shiso leaves in Sweden is not too simple though. Since being to Bar Goto we've stayed on the lookout for these leaves, and when we finally found them they were red rather than the original green. But somehow it only ad

A drink for the elegant-minded - made with top quality sweet vermouth, bourbon and several other good stuff in small quantities. The absinthe rinse leaves so much flavour despite being discarded, and Falernum is such an exotic and nice way to sweeten a drink. Then coffee and walnut liqueurs deepen those earthy notes, resulting in this much complex but easily enjoyable drink. (Don't forget the pinch of salt, a much important ingredient to balance those sweet notes).⁠ Recipe Ingredients: 0,5 oz

We should do that more often!⁠ Recipe by Erik Lorincz Ingredients: 1,5

As a mix between a classic Negroni and an Irish coffee this drink is still something of its own. And it works so wonderfully well - becoming a rather unique experience. ⁠ ⁠ The key here is the sugar we believe, that's what balances the bitterness of the Carpano Botanic. And then of course using old tom gin rather than regular gin also adds a sweet sensation. This in combination with sweet vermouth becomes almost as mulled wine - which feels so fitting for the season. And who doesn't like whipped
