Another drink made with new Bolivian acquaintances La República gin⁠ and Yerbasanta vermouth⁠. They make the perfect power couple in this globetrotter drink.⁠ ⁠ Gin is so good in long-drinks we think. That tangy taste goes well with low-ABV ingredients such as vermouth or sherry, and then just a splash of simple syrup sweetens things up. Lemon juice balances everything and some heavily carbonated water gives just the right fizz.⁠ Recipe by Cocktail Detour Ingredients: 1 orange wheel⁠ 1 dash bi

We think this one is so interesting. It is made with two bottles that we had never heard of before, but that we instantly fell in love with the moment we sipped them.⁠ ⁠ The vermut from Yerbasanta has this earthy, muted flavour profile that we adore so much. It is very rich in taste, and the ruby red colour certainly entices. We paired it with some other quite potent products here, but it still stood up and gave the drink a lot of character.

So today we are going true premium! Ferdinand's gin [https://www.ferdinandsgin.com/] is produced in the Saar region, using Riesling grapes. And we couldn't be happier about that, being the Riesling white wine lovers we are.⁠ ⁠ But there is not only Riesling in this gin, oh no - to that ingrediens list more than 30 botanicals are added.

Rum Direction

Our interest in rum has increased over the last year. It could be because we've visited a lot of great tiki bars, or it could also be because of a rum distillery tour we did this summer. Or it's just because there are so many mouthwatering rums out there. In this cocktail, called Rum Direction, we are using Pyrat rum. it's that chubby bottle with a metal medallion around its neck. It has an orange flavour going on, that probably doesn't work in all cocktails, but it's so good in this one. Rum
