Naked & Famous

Naked & Famous, by Joaquin Simó is a very interesting cocktail. It's one part Last Word and one part Paper Plane (according to Death & Co's book in which we found the recipe). Thanks to the Aperol this cocktail gets a very appealing orange/pink color. The taste however is more dominated by the smoky mezcal, a spirit that we love, so this is definitely our type of cocktail. Another thing we like about the Naked & Famous is the fact that it's an equal part recipe. If you make this delicious drin

Gin Lane

We had friends over for dinner, and one of them prefers sour cocktails. And we are basically the same, go too sweet and the cocktail could become undrinkable. It is after all a cocktail, and not candy we long for. So when the recipe for a Gin Lane calls for one full ounce of fresh lemon juice, we know it was the perfect welcome cocktail. It is a sour type of cocktail indeed, but of course that orgeat and also the ginger ale take away some of the acidity, making sure the Gin Lane is a well bala

Almond Espresso Martini

Hey we are Swedes, and we are the world's third biggest coffee consumer per capita. We drink it for breakfast, after lunch and during our Swedish “fika” of course. But we also love it in cocktails. Hence an Almond Espresso Martini fits us perfectly. There is a lot of coffee flavour in this one, but it is also nicely complemented by Italian Amaretto liqueur contributing with an almond touch. 1 oz freshly made espresso 1,25 oz vodka 0,75 oz Amaretto 0,5 oz coffee liqueur Shake all ingredients wi

Blushing Mary

The Blushing Mary is a delicious twist on the classic Bloody Mary. But instead of using tomato juice a combination of muddled cherry tomatoes and tonic water is used to make this Mary blush rather than bleed. The recipe for this cocktail we found in Amy Stewart's fact packed book The Drunken Botanist under the headline “Pepper”. And yes, there is a hearty amount of hot pepper in the drink, but it's obviously up to you to decide how spicy you want to go in the end. To make this cocktail go real

The Gift Shop

If you are making a cocktail called The Gift Shop, by Thomas Waugh from Death & Co New York City, you know it's gonna be good! It starts with the muddling of fresh cucumber wheels, releasing both flavour and aromas. Then there is the large amount of rum, and the less voluminous pour of amaro Cardamaro. Finally there's a sweet and sour mix of lime and sugar and a nonchalant dash of bitters. 3 cucumber wheels 2 oz white rum 0,5 oz Cardamaro 0,75 oz lime juice 0,75 oz simple syrup 1 dash Angostura

Sinu Metu

The Sinu Metu by Joy Richardson is made with Irish whiskey. We don't use that very often we have to admit, but we do have a bottle of Jameson in our cabinets and we decided it was time to put it to use. Also we realized the colour of the finished cocktail would match our new coasters. We bought them at the Museum of Spirits here in Stockholm. It's hard to tell from the photo, but the pattern on the coasters is made up of the molecular structure of alcohol. Quite fitting we thought! 1,5 oz Jame

Rum Direction

Our interest in rum has increased over the last year. It could be because we've visited a lot of great tiki bars, or it could also be because of a rum distillery tour we did this summer. Or it's just because there are so many mouthwatering rums out there. In this cocktail, called Rum Direction, we are using Pyrat rum. it's that chubby bottle with a metal medallion around its neck. It has an orange flavour going on, that probably doesn't work in all cocktails, but it's so good in this one. Rum
