For an Instagram surprise event organized by Matthias Soberon [https://www.instagram.com/servedbysoberon/] we were assigned to do a digital cheers with Fede [https://www.instagram.com/welcometomybar/], an active bar enthusiast on Instagram. Fede is originally from Italy, but nowadays he lives in the Netherlands. He loves vintage barware and glassware just like us, so we were assigned the perfect cocktail buddy in this event. To honor you Fede, and to acknowledge your impact on the Drinkstagram

Tartufo

Tartufo

Whenever we see a cocktail recipe with an unusual ingredient we need to make it. And the Tartufo, with its strong flavour of black truffle, is a bold cocktail that rewards those who are just like us - open to the unexpected. It may not seem like there is a lot of truffle in the cocktail, but it still taste a lot of it. In Greg Henry's book “Savory Cocktails” the flavour of the cocktail is described as a dark earthiness, which we think is a very accurate description. A unique, adult and serious

Beholder's Eye

Beholder's Eye

Thank you Nick Assaur for being such an inspiration on Instagram, and for always being so supportive on our posts. Today we are excited to share our celebration to you, and your cocktail Beholder's Eye. And one could say this is also an homage to Canada and a few really nice Canadian products we discovered when we were in Vancouver this summer. First of all there was the fantastic Odd Society Spirits distillery where we sampled and bought most of the products used in this recipe. And there was

Paris is Burning

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

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

.3 Days of Winter

.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

Have At It

Have At It

Have at it, by Alex Day is a rather funky cocktail found in Death & Co's book. The list of ingredients is long, but there are only quite common products in it. As the cocktail is primarily based on sherry it gets low on ABV, especially as the whole creation is also topped up with club soda. There was a delicate change in the weather when we poured this cocktail. The cloudy autumn sky suddenly cleared up and the sun made a very welcome appearance. We hurried out on our balcony to do the shooting

Le Bateleur

Le Bateleur

“Le Bateleur” - we just love the name of this Death & Co original by Alex Day. It's a true autumn cocktail with all those dark spirits in the same recipe. The gin obviously leads the way, but it is nicely accompanied along that way by Punt E Mes, Strega and Cynar. A quite Italian cocktail in the end, despite the french name. This is a perfect slow sipper cocktail, high on ABV. It's also a 3,5 oz recipe so you're in for a long lasting indulgence. If you garnish with an orange twist like we did y
