Peat's Dragon

Scotch and mezcal combined in the same drink is not that common, and that's the exakt reason this recipe caught our attention. ⁠ ⁠ We really like how tasty it turned out, sipping this drink was pure enjoyment. We served it in heavy, ice-cold rocks glasses for that extra luxurious feel . . . and it worked!⁠ Peat's Dragon Recipe by Kyle Jones Ingredients: 1,5 oz scotch⁠ 1 oz mezcal⁠ 0,5 oz fino sherry⁠ 0,5 oz agave syrup⁠ 0,25 oz fresh lemon juice Mixing: Combine all of the ingredients in a sha

Battle Over Dutch

This is another gem from one of Frederic Yarm's [https://www.instagram.com/fredericyarm/] recipe packed cocktail books. It was probably the Swedish punsch in the recipe that caught our interest, along with the cream sherry which is an ingredient we like a lot.⁠ Battle Over Dutch Recipe from Merril & Co Ingredients: 1 oz cream sherry⁠ 1 oz Swedish punsch⁠ 0,5 oz cacao liqueur⁠ 0,5 oz lemon juice Mixing: Shake all ingredients with fresh ice and fine strain into a coupe.

We have always liked coffee, and it's no exception even if the coffee is in a cocktail. In fact, coffee is a perfect ingredient in drinks which this El Duque is a good example of. We actually used cold brew espresso, from Sidekick Cold Brew [https://sidekickcoldbrew.se/], to give the drink that extra kick!⁠ ⁠ Cream sherry is another favourite ingredient. It is not very heavy on alcohol, but it tastes fantastic and gives the drink a beautiful amber color. ⁠ ⁠ The hefty amount of rum clearly defin

We thought the mix of green Chartreuse and akvavit was interesting. And it worked out really well. The slightly bitter akvavit paired with the sweet and herbal Chartreuse was perfect, and the sherry balances everything nicely and also helps taking down the alcohol by volume a bit.⁠ The Witches Recipe by Chantal Tseng Ingredients: 1,25 oz akvavit⁠ 1 oz manzanilla sherry⁠ 0,5 oz green Chartreuse Mixing: Stir all ingredients with fresh ice and strain into a coupe.

Golden Hour

We recently had drinks at Dear Irving [https://www.dearirving.com/dearirving-gramercy] and one of our favourite cocktails on their current menu is the Golden Hour. It is a perfect mix of light and sweet Italicus, dry sherry, bitter Suze and refreshing Cocchi. And that salty olive oil makes the perfect edible garnish, complementing the cocktail extremely well.⁠ ⁠ We love that Dear Irving are sharing the recipes for a lot of their drinks in their Instagram feed. Definitely worth checking out. And

Vasastan Vesper

So, technically this drink is not really a Vesper, we know. But those into Swedish geography will get the word play, and we wanted to keep this post very Swedish.⁠ ⁠ Because what could be more Swedish, or at least Scandinavian, than akvavit? For a long time it was only consumed neat, accompanying the Swedish “smorgasbords” both during Easter, Midsummer and Christmas. But something has changed, and now akvavit is a key ingredient in so many cocktails, and it's found at different bars throughout t

Flor de Caña [http://flordecana.com/] 12 years rum is Fair Trade certified, which makes this phenomenal rum even extra enjoyable. Also we absolutely love its toffee and vanilla notes, making it perfect to mix with other dessert associated ingredients. ⁠ ⁠ In this original cocktail, we mixed the Flor de Caña rum with banana and walnut liqueurs, tying it all together with dry fino sherry to balance the sweetness. The result is certainly a coupe full of loveliness, defined by the rum but with rat

When Cocktailpodden [https://www.instagram.com/cocktailpodden/] dedicated a full episode to banana liqueur we were inspired to find a really good recipe based on it, making full use of the banana's distinctive flavour. Because let's face it, banana liqueur had/has a bad reputation. Some ten-twenty years ago it was the go-to-bottle for those exotic, often super sweet and colourful drinks that were the bestsellers of most bars. Luckily things have changed, and today there are premium banana li
