So there are two extra interesting ingredients in this one, gooseberry and chervil. Gooseberries are these large light green berries that at least in Sweden are quite common. People even grow them in their gardens. In this drink gooseberry preserve is used, which we think works well. If you want a slightly more sour version of the drink, just use less of the jam. And then there’s the chervil, an herb traditionally used in its dried state in several Swedish dishes. This made it extra fun to use

The Seville

The Seville

An interesting cocktail made with gin, sherry and Lillet. A gorgeous combination creating a beautiful drink. We think it’s a ”clean” cocktail as you can actually taste all three individual liquid ingredients in the final result. The herbal gin, the dry fruit from the sherry and the slight flowery sweetness from the Lillet. The Seville Recipe by Nick Mautone Ingredients: 0,5 oz fino sherry 2 oz gin 0,75 oz Lillet Blanc 2 dashes orange bitters 2 orange twists Mixing: Start by rinsing a chilled

Physalis Sour

Physalis Sour

Physalis are those cute golden yellow berries protected by a paper thin coat. They are sour, chewy and bursting with flavour. Fun to eat for sure, but even more fun to drink it turns out. Because muddled together with gin, and fresh marjoram (which we were lucky to find in a store) they create a refreshing cocktail with a quite distinct flavour. Of course we had to use a few physalis fruits as garnish, they are so visually stunning! Physalis Sour Recipe by Oskar Kinberg Ingredients: 1,5 oz g

Dill is an herb strongly connected with Scandinavia, and Sweden especially. We like to boil potato with dill, we use it in pickles, we season fish with it and we garnish our shrimp sandwiches with dill sprigs. So of course Oskar Kinberg, who is Swedish, incorporated dill in a cocktail and came up with the most clever name drink name. The cocktail gets this nice green colour thanks to the dill and it’s accentuated by the the cucumber juice, which also contributes with an earthy green flavour. D

Japanese gin is so exciting. We love the elegant and respectful approach producers from Japan seem to have on spirits. In this elevated gin and tonic we are using Roku gin, which comes in a six sided bottle representing the six botanicals used in the production. In this drink there is also another new acquaintance in the form of a flavored, tea based tonic syrup from Ayana Tonic [https://ayanatonic.com/]. It comes in a few different flavour combinations, and we immediately fell for the ginger a

Cabaret Cocktail

Cabaret Cocktail

The rather elegant pinkish colour perfectly sums up the experience of this cocktail. It's sophisticated, glamorous, fun and delicious. We love the name, Cabaret. It kind of makes it extra enjoyable to consume. We exaggerated the feeling by adding feathers, vintage gold cocktail picks and brandies cherries. Cabaret Cocktail Recipe Ingredients: 1 oz gin 0,75 oz Lillet Blanc 0,25 oz Benedictine liqueur 1 dash absinthe 1 dash Angostura bitters Mixing: Stir all ingredients with ice and strain

Friûl Libar

Friûl Libar

Whenever Peychaud's is in the recipe you can be pretty sure the cocktail will turn out nicely coloured. Somewhere between orange and pink is where the Friûl Libar ends up, and it tastes as good as it looks. That amaro Nonino is so good, definitely one of our favourite amari. We also really enjoy how generously it welcomes other spirits into its company. In this case it's mixed with strong gin, and then everything is balanced with just some lemon and sugar. This cocktail has it all! Friûl Liba

We wanted to make a very Swedish cocktail, and were kindly gifted a bottle of fir liqueur from Jonas Bronck’s Spirit [http://jonasbroncksspirit.com/]. Swedish Jonas Bronck, born around 1600, emigrated to America 1639 and is believed to be the man naming The Bronx county in the USA. Some two hundred years later a lot of Swedes emigrated to America to leave poverty and famine behind them. Still today there are Swedish villages in the USA, for example Andersonville in Chicago, where we have visited
