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

Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique

The Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique cocktail might sound a bit violent (referring to the death blow in Kill Bill). And sure, this mezcal based drink is both characteristic, messy and loud - but in the most wonderful of ways! Mellowing that mezcal a bit is what the coffee liqueur in the recipe is doing. And this was the perfect opportunity for us to try out Conkerspirit's [https://www.conkerspirit.co.uk/] Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur. This is a premium product made with Brazilian and Ethio

Cuevas

Not all tiki cocktails need to be based around pineapple, coconut or passion fruit. The Cuevas cocktail by Dane Barca is a good example of this. First of all that small amount of cinnamon syrup is defining the drink quite a lot. The earthy and spicy flavours it adds to the cocktail are really nice. The port wine and the Punt e Mes lowers the overall ABV and give the cocktail a very pleasant ruby red colour. In the end the rum is the star, and thanks to it this is still very much a tiki cocktai

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

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
