Snake Eyes

Snake Eyes

Akvavit cocktails are awesome. So when Jesse kindly shared his recipe for the Snake Eyes we needed to make it immediately. There’s a lot to like about this cocktail, first the pale golden colour, secondly the four gorgeous ingredients used and thirdly the amazingly tasting end result. Snake Eyes Recipe by Jesse L. Cyr Ingredients: 1,5 oz Linie Akvavit 1 oz dry vermouth 0,5 oz amaro Montenegro 0,25 oz cremé de cacao Mixing: Stir with plenty of fresh ice and strain into a coupe. Sink a brandied

River Styx

The combination of coffee and chocolate paired with whisky is what make this recipe stand out. It’s a wonderful after dinner drink, even having the potential of replacing a desert. Allspice dram, or pimento liqueur is extra fitting this close to Christmas. It tastes a bit of ginger bread, and it’s very strong in flavour. Hence just adding a dash like in this recipe still impacts the cocktail quite a lot. River Styx Recipe by David Kinsey Ingredients: 2 oz bourbon 0,25 oz coffee liqueur 0,25 o

21st Century

This is a very elegant tequila cocktail, that we decided to further dress up with some vintage cocktail picks and brandied cherries. The chocolate liqueur adds a very earthy and delicious sweetness to the drink, and balance the sour lemon perfectly. 21st Century Recipe by Jim Meehan Ingredients: 0,75 oz blanco tequila 0,75 oz clear cacao liqueur 0,75 oz fresh lemon juice 1 barspoon absinthe Mixing: Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a coupe.

Jai Alai Special

Jai Alai Special

It was the two limes that caught our interest in this recipe. It's kind of an imprecise measurement, but it's anyway a lot of lime! So it's no surprise that this drink turns out quite sour, especially when also the orange juice is added. That big amount of chocolate liqueur however, counters the acidity pretty well. The combination of orange and chocolate is a classic, and it works brilliantly in this peculiar cocktail Jai Alai Special Recipe Ingredients: 1,5 oz light rum 1 oz crème de cacao

Old Alhambra

Old Alhambra

Always excited to make chocolate cocktails. In this one there is just a touch of it though, so it certainly doesn't overwhelm the cocktail. What it rather does is to smooth out the smokey scotch in a quite clever way. Left behind is a mellow and round cocktail, further enhanced by the rich cream sherry and some delicious vermouth. Still, we just had to shoot this cocktail surrounded by cacao nibs… Old Alhambra Recipe by Leo Robitschek Ingredients: 0,25 oz white crème de cacao 0,5 oz cream she

Negative Space

Negative Space

Maks Pazuniak is the creator of this cool and unusual cocktail. It's called Negative Space and it is a peculiar mix of gentian liqueur, chocolate, sparkling wine and absinthe. The cocktail has a taste hard to describe in words, but we promise an instant wow-effect if you try it or serve it to somebody. (Not guaranteeing you will actually love it, just that it will make an impression). Now we loved it, this is definitely a cocktail appealing to our taste. There are bitter notes, licorice flavors

Baudouine

Baudouine

We might have placed it on a rubber snake, but apart from that there is nothing winding about this cocktail. Because the Baudouine, created by Gino Pellarin is a very straightforward drink despite its many ingredients. The result is so delicious! The chocolaty notes really shine through, mixing very well with the dry sherry and the aromatic tequila. This is one of those cocktails you wanna sip slowly on, enjoying for a long while.
