Welcome Stranger

Swedish punsch is always heartwarming to see in recipes. It is ok to get slightly patriotic also when it comes to cocktails is it?! Mixing punsch with both brandy and gin must be fairly unusual, but this recipe proves it works. Somehow all those characteristic spirits unite and form a pleasant drinking experience. And using these tall coupes gave us a good opportunity to use our long banana vintage cocktail picks! Welcome Stranger Recipe Ingredients: 0,5 oz Swedish punsch 0,5 oz brandy 0,5 o

Pink is Cooler

Pink gins are sweeping the summer, and Gibson's kindly offered us to try their version. We wanted to turn it into a cooler, taking down the ABV and therefore allowing for bigger sips of this quencher. We wanted to enhance the pink by mixing with Lillet Rouge and adding red Peychaud's bitters. Before the club soda is added the drink might look almost red in the glass, but that carbonated water turns everything pink in the end. The more water you add, the pinker the cocktail gets. While we gener

We're pretty sure you reacted to this recipe in the exact same way we did;⠀ ⠀ - A quarter of an ounce of Peychaud's bitters?!?!?⠀ ⠀ But yes, that is totally correct and not a recipe typo. There's something so liberating about removing that dropper from the bitter bottle and pour rather than dash from it.⠀ ⠀ And have you tried Peychaud's on its own? It's absolutely fantastic and it has a very rich, almost sweet and chocolaty taste. It's definitely not as bitter as one could expect of a bitter…⠀ ⠀

Carlbaum's Enhanced Negroni

As Negroni Week continues so does our Negroni-experimenting. Here we are trying out a drink mixer from Carlbaum's, substituting both the Campari and the sweet vermouth. We are also spicing things up a bit by adding some amaro which we think is a fun addition. It can also be varied for eternity given all good amari out there. We hope everybody continues to enjoy Negroni Week. And, we are not done posting Negronis quite yet, see you on Saturday again! Carlbaum's Enhanced Negroni Recipe Ingred

Blood Orange Negroni Poptail

Negroni Week has started and we are thrilled to kick it off with a frozen blood orange Negroni. We made it ourselves, and it was surprisingly easy. As the Swedish summer is warming us, it's quite fitting to enjoy these poptails right now. They are refreshingly ice cold, and they certainly taste like a Negroni - just in its frozen form. We are excited to see all the wonderful Negronis made by people all over the world this week. Expect to see a few more from us during the rest of the week. B

Comanche Club

Described as a 4 parts Negroni and 3 parts The Last Word cocktail we could do nothing but to capitulate and instantly shake up this drink. It basically mixes our two all time favorite cocktails into one.⁣ ⁣ What's interesting is how the rather small amount of green Chartreuse shines through and still somehow defines the drink - it even manages to mellow the Campari quite a bit. ⁣ ⁣ The Carpano Antica Formula is definitely our go to bottle when recipes call for sweet vermouth. It's of high qual

Leave-it-to-me

Ok, let's be honest - this post is more about the peculiar glassware, than the actual cocktail.⠀ ⠀ We found these two glasses, with built-in glass straws, in a thrift shop and had to buy them. They're heart-shaped, literally speaking, which gets quite obvious when they're filled with a raspberry based drink.⠀ ⠀ Ditching disposable straws is very easy if you have glassware like this. They're a pain to clean though… ⠀ But let's not forget about the drink, it is a good one. Sharing some similaritie
