Astoria

It is finally our turn to try St. George's Terroir Gin [http://www.stgeorgespirits.com/spirits/gins/st-george-terroir-gin/]. We have read so much about, so using it in this Astoria cocktail was quite exciting. Douglas fir, California bay laurel and coastal sage are a few of the slightly unexpected ingredients in this gin. And especially the fir shines through, creating an earthy, foresty gin that is actually quite different to most other gins we have tried. The Astoria is basically a reversed

Rubicon

Time for a pretty fancy cocktail, the Rubicon, from bar Canon in Seattle. This is a Last Word with extra everything, complete with open flames and fresh herbs. This drink is very heavy on gin, so choose this wisely. Go with your favorite. For us this was the perfect opportunity to break our bottle of Conker Spirit's [https://www.conkerspirit.co.uk/] gin. It's a delicious product from Dorset in the UK, and it was great in this herbal cocktail. As this recipe involves an open flame a warning sho

Blood Orange Negroni

It is Negroni Week, arranged and curated by Imbibe Magazine [http://imbibemagazine.com/]. And even if we are not a bar we still wanted to contribute with a Negroni variation, invented by Emily Arden Wells [https://www.instagram.com/gastronomista_/]. The Blood Orange Negroni takes full advantage of the bittersweet flavour of blood oranges, infusing them in gin. We did this, as suggested, the sous vide way. (Placing 1 oz of gin and three slices of blood orange in a sealed bag, letting it simmer i

Cucunut Spring

We are in the middle of the “Strawless Cocktail Week [https://www.instagram.com/strawlesscocktailweek/]“. It's a global event aimed at trying to reduce the endless amount of disposable plastic straws we tend to use in drinks. Today there are so many more environmentally friendly straws available. They can be made of metal, glass, bamboo or paper, but what they all have in common is that they are either reusable or degradable. Now, we are the first ones to admit we have previously used plastic

Analogue's Gin & Juice

The Gin & Juice from Analogue in NYC is a very refreshing yet elegant cocktail. Gin and grapefruit combined equals a pretty bitter cocktail, but it's freshened up by sweet maraschino and sour lemon. This is actually a great spring cocktail, and a solid gin drink. We used pink grapefruit juice rather than regular, as we only had that on hand. It gave the cocktail a pretty colour without altering the flavour too much. Analogue's Gin & Juice Recipe Ingredients: 2 oz gin 0,5 oz maraschino liqueu

Humuhumunukunukuapua'a

Humuhumunukunukuapua'a is the tongue twisting name of this gorgeous cocktail by Marcovaldo Dionysos. It gets its pale pink colour thanks to the mix of orgeat and Peychaud's. Always fun to use orgeat we think. It creates this matt finish that's quite funky on a cocktail. As the cocktail is from the Smuggler's Cove book, it should of course be defined as a tiki cocktail. Hence we enhanced this fact by garnishing with a chimpanzee climbing a palmtree. It's a really tasty cocktail, sweet and sour

Stork Club Cocktail

Having previously been a bit hesitant making drinks using orange juice we anyway decided to give the Stork Club Cocktail a chance. We've had orange juice based cocktails before where the acidity and rather strong flavour of the orange juice more or less overwhelm the whole cocktail. However, if the ratio between orange juice and the other ingredients are perfectly moderated it can be really nice. In this recipe there is a full ounce of orange juice. But as it's balanced with fresh lime, sweet

Gin Gin Mule

Standing tall on this photo are two Gin Gin Mules. This famous cocktail is composed by Audrey Saunders and it is kind of a mix between a Moscow Mule and a Mojito. This cocktail certainly is as refreshing as a Mojito, but using gin rather than rum makes this cocktail more dry. On the other hand there is the ginger beer in it to add some sweetness, and a spicy kick at the same time. Summer is soon approaching Sweden, this is most definitely a cocktail we might sip on again, during those hot days
