This is one of those recipes that shouldn't really work, but at the end do so! Because who would have thought that super bitter Campari, super sweet blackcurrant liqueur and super sour lime could form such a wonderfully complex, tasty and memorable drink!⁠ ⁠ So do you trust us, and drink composer Rafael? The truth is in the pudding - and if you do go ahead and try it - then let us know what you thought.⁠ ⁠ (It's worth mentioning that we found the recipe in Gary Regan's cocktail bible “The Joy of

The Negroni Warmer

The Negroni Warmer

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

We simply love this drink! It has the perfect combination of sweet and bitter, plus its colour is really eye-catching. Using pineapple juice is fun because it creates this thick foam when shaken. No need for egg-whites here for sure.⁠ ⁠ If you haven't tried this cocktail we urge you to do so. It's one of the classics, and the ingredients should be fairly easy to get.⁠ Recipe Ingredients: 1,5 oz dark rum⁠ 0,75 oz Campari⁠ 0,5 oz simple syrup⁠ 1,5 oz fresh pineapple juice⁠ 0,5 oz fresh lime juic

As summer is approaching so is the season for cooling long drinks. We like this bitter-sweet one a lot and we're extra happy it uses pisco as the base spirit.⁠ ⁠ We also appreciate herbal Benedictine liqueur a lot. Even though there is a bitterness to it there is also sweet notes, and it mixes very well with the red bitter liqueur that we used.⁠ Papa Ghirardelli Recipe found via Difford’s Guide Ingredients: 1,5 oz pisco⁠ 0,5 oz Italian red bitter liqueur⁠ 0,75 sweet vermouth⁠ 0,5 oz Benedictin

This is another cocktail we created with the new coffee gin from Skånska Spritfabriken [https://spritfabriken.com/] - a Swedish distiller. As there is actually quite a lot of coffee flavour in the gin we didn't want to mix it with too overpowering ingredients. However the bitterness of Campari worked very well, and as we had infused the Campari with coffee it only further elevated the flavors of the gin.⁠ ⁠ A perfect sipper for those into coffee, like ourselves.⁠ Hasse Recipe by Cocktail Detour

This fritz-limo that Supersoda [https://supersoda.se/] sent us surely is summer in bottle. Not only does it taste of apple, elderflower and cherry, but it also has the most gorgeous ruby-red colour, screaming to be used in cocktails! As we had some strawberries left over, we thought we should make a strawberry-coloured drink. The pink gin from Gibson's was an obvious choice for base-spirit as it actually tastes strawberry! We like that it is still not overly sweet despite being a pink gin, an

Blood Orange Negroni Poptail

Blood Orange Negroni Poptail

Negroni Week has started and we are thrilled to kick it off with a frozen blood orange Negroni. We made it ourselves, and it was surprisingly easy. As the Swedish summer is warming us, it's quite fitting to enjoy these poptails right now. They are refreshingly ice cold, and they certainly taste like a Negroni - just in its frozen form. We are excited to see all the wonderful Negronis made by people all over the world this week. Expect to see a few more from us during the rest of the week. B
