I'm On a Boat

The recipe for I'm On a Boat is from bar Stoddard's in Boston. It's a tiki style cocktail based on rum, orgeat and lime. The orgeat combined with the Cognac and rum creates a rather creamy feeling. The cocktail is smooth, silky and shiny. It's extremely easy to drink. Be careful though because it's quite strong! In fact the drink kind of looks like a stormy sea when ice cubes are added and the glass is swirled anti clockwise. We served the drink in a huge Cognac coupe to really get the feeling

Mott and Mulberry

Apple juice in a cocktail? Yes, it's far less usual than for example orange juice or grapefruit juice. But Leo Robitschek's Mott and Mulberry cocktail is a perfect example of how delicious and well-working apple juice can be in a cocktail. In the recipe it's suggested to make your own juice out of Honeycrisp apples. We have to admit we opted for store bought apple juice, but even so the cocktail turned out very pleasant. The apple juice mixed with the potent rye and the herbal amaro Abano creat

The Center of the Galaxy

This is The Center of the Galaxy. At least according to Martin Cate over at Smuggler's Cove, who created this cocktail. Raspberries always add a certain freshness to cocktails, as well as a nice colour. It also gives this cocktail a tiki vibe, although served in regular coupes and with no pineapple or coconut whatsoever in sight. What's also very likable about this cocktail is that it has honey syrup as one of its ingredients. This is quite different from regular simple syrup, and has a rounde

Back To Basics

Irene Benjamin is soon to compete with her creation Back To Basics, and she kindly shared the original recipe with us. It's a fun cocktail to make at home, because it's very visual and stunning thanks to the red wine syrup in it. Also, despite all that lovely foam forming at the top, this is a one hundred percent vegan cocktail as aquafaba is creating the foam. (Aquafaba is the viscous water in which chickpeas have been cooked). The cocktail is really nice. The red wine and orange syrup contrib

The Precision Timepiece

It's always exciting to try a product for the very first time. When we recently met cocktail genius Dustin Heimsoth in Berlin he told us about Jägermeister's new high end spirit - Manifest. And while its edition is somehow limited we were lucky to buy a bottle at Berlin's Tegel airport on our way home. The first cocktail we decided to use Manifest in is The Precision Timepiece by Sother Teague. This recipe originally calls for Jägermeister, but we used Manifest instead. We truly enjoyed this c

Le Coquetiez Du Lion

Apparently the house cocktail of Bar Le Lion in Hamburg, Le Coquetiez Du Lion is as simple to make as it is delicious to drink. We love cocktails like this, few and available ingredients, but still a stunning end result. Its colour is so delicate, and all that fruit from the Lillet combined with the stiff gin, proves that the final mix can be even greater than its good parts. Le Coquetiez Du Lion Recipe Ingredients: 1,75 oz Lillet Blanc 1 oz gin 3 dashes Peychaud bitters Mixing: Stir with fr

The Last Word

We have barrel aged a two liter batch of The Last Word since a few weeks, and now it's time for a first taste. What we immediately noticed is how the green colour, from the Chartreuse, has somehow faded a bit. We'll never find out if the inside of our barrel is now completely green, but nevermind. What's happened flavour wise is that the sweetness from the Chartreuse and the Maraschino liqueur has somehow decreased a bit, and instead the whole cocktail feels slightly stiffer and boozier. It's d

Monferrato

The Monferrato by Leo Robitschek is a rose coloured sparkling cocktail that tastes gorgeous. It's those few drops of Peychaud that colours the cocktail so nicely, also contributing with a lot of flavour. This is actually one of the cocktails we had on our New Years Eve celebrations. The cocktails are partially shot outside, in the dark and cold just hours before 2017 turned into 2018. It was the perfect festive cocktail for such an occasion.
