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

Forty Thieves

Ok, prepare yourself for an absolutely unique and delicious drink! The Forty Thieves cocktail by Gino Pellarin kind of blew us away already on the first sip. There is so much going on at the same time, but somehow all those ingredients play very well together and marry into something quite spectacular. The recipe we found in The Nomad Cocktail Book. Yes, we finally bought their cookbook just to get hold of the attached cocktail book. Actually just this single cocktail made it worth it, it's tha

Enchanted Orchard

We thought there was something almost fairy tale-like over the Enchanted Orchard cocktail by Joaquin Simó from Death & Co. The name of the drink makes us think about magic forests, strange creatures . . . and unicorns for some reason. We wanted to shoot the cocktail while it was dark outside, and just have some lit candles in the background to further enhance the mysterious theme. The cinnamon sticks used as garnish also help to make you think of trees and forests with every sip. And this is a

Tonic Margarita

Our love for mezcal continues to grow, and in this Tonic Margarita we are only mixing it with lime juice, tonic syrup and simple syrup. There is a noticeable difference between tequila and mezcal. The latter one has more of a smoky profile, not completely unlike a smoky whisky. It's a really good cocktail ingredient which this particular drink proves. We photographed the cocktail outside while it was raining. We thought the wet surface on the balcony table looked good and wanted to make use of
