ELOQUENCE Monkey 47 has always been a favourite gin for us. We like the beautiful bottle and label on their own, but the product inside is so delicious as well. A rather unique gin it is, and many say it's best enjoyed neat on its own. This rule we break here though by combining it with several of the things we like. Clementine juice, lime juice and simple syrup to add acidity, sweetness and colour. And then we also add amaro Nonino and Cocchi Americano for a subtle spiciness and some more alc

Iridescent

Iridescent

IRIDESCENT Not only do we get to try Japanese Roku gin for the first time at home, but we also get to do it in our original recipe for the Iridescent cocktail. We started off by trying the Roku neat, and enjoyed it tremendously. It is a gin with very evident citrus notes, so we thought it would work nicely with some kind of citrus liqueur. In the end we opted for mandarin liqueur, and we also added Riesling vermouth from Belsazar. The pièce de résistance in this cocktail though is the red win

INEFFABLE We are so tremendously excited and proud to present one Cocktail Detour original recipe each day this whole week. For the last few months we have secretly been experimenting, tasting, trying and then started all over again. The final seven cocktails that made it into this original week all passed the taste test as well as the look test. And we kick off with this intensely orange cocktail, made with carrot juice. It's the first time we use carrot juice in cocktails, and we are really

La Rosa Louisiane

La Rosa Louisiane

Peychauds is a quite astonishing cocktail ingredient. Not only is it a very versatile bitter, found in both classic and contemporary drinks. But it also gives drinks a very beautiful pink to red colour when mixed with clear spirits. A very good example of this is a cocktail called La Rosa Louisiane by Will (who makes up 50 percent of the inspiring @kaleandcocktail Instagram account). This cocktail is boozy, herbal and bitter. And we love it!! La Rosa Louisiane Recipe Ingredients: 2 oz gin 0,

Remember the Alimony

Remember the Alimony

Remember the Alimony is a three ingredient cocktail by Dan Greenbaum. It's supposed to be one of Robert Simonson's favorite cocktails - and that fact got us intrigued. Also we really like to use Cynar. It's one of the most available and approachable amari and it is simply delicious. We're not totally convinced you really taste the artichoke in it, but it doesn't matter as it anyway tastes so good. Remember the Alimony Recipe Ingredients: 1,25 oz dry sherry 1,25 oz amaro Cynar 0,75 oz gin Mix

Seaplane

Seaplane

The Seaplane by Joseph Schwartz is a French 75 riff, meaning theres lots of Champagne in it! And who doesn't love a Champagne driven cocktail? Theres something instantly luxurious with sparkling drinks we think, especially when real Champagne is used. In The Seaplane there's also Absinthe, and even if the amount is tiny it boosts the cocktail with both character and confidence. The gin means the dryness from the Champagne is further enhanced, while simple syrup and lemon balance the overall fla

We recently spotted these green tinted glasses in a local charity shop here in Stockholm. Normally we only buy clear glassware as we want to be able to see the colour of the actual cocktail. But there was something about these green vintage glassware that made it impossible to walk away from them. So after buying them, against our believes, we knew we needed to mix up a green cocktail so that the photo would still somehow be true to the cocktail. Thankfully we came across Kevin Martin's recipe

Edgewood

Edgewood

As Punt E Mes is one of the ingredients in Greg Best's Edgewood cocktail, it gets an almost golden colour making it look very appealing. And it also tastes phenomenal, being a bit bitter and sweet at the same time. When poured into coupes this cocktail almost looks like a beer we think. We are also playing with perspectives in this photo (these glasses are actually tiny) and this further enhance the beer look. This cocktail is perfect for sipping on a Saturday. It's sophisticated, interesting
