This is one of those recipes that shouldn't really work, but at the end do so! Because who would have thought that super bitter Campari, super sweet blackcurrant liqueur and super sour lime could form such a wonderfully complex, tasty and memorable drink!⁠

(It's worth mentioning that we found the recipe in Gary Regan's cocktail bible “The Joy of Mixology”).⁠

The Negroni Warmer

The Negroni Warmer

As a mix between a classic Negroni and an Irish coffee this drink is still something of its own. And it works so wonderfully well - becoming a rather unique experience. ⁠ ⁠ The key here is the sugar we believe, that's what balances the bitterness of the Carpano Botanic. And then of course using old tom gin rather than regular gin also adds a sweet sensation. This in combination with sweet vermouth becomes almost as mulled wine - which feels so fitting for the season. And who doesn't like whipped

We simply love this drink! It has the perfect combination of sweet and bitter, plus its colour is really eye-catching. Using pineapple juice is fun because it creates this thick foam when shaken. No need for egg-whites here for sure.⁠ ⁠ If you haven't tried this cocktail we urge you to do so. It's one of the classics, and the ingredients should be fairly easy to get.⁠ Recipe Ingredients: 1,5 oz dark rum⁠ 0,75 oz Campari⁠ 0,5 oz simple syrup⁠ 1,5 oz fresh pineapple juice⁠ 0,5 oz fresh lime juic

Rum in Cocktails

Rum is a versatile spirit. It can be enjoyed both neat and in cocktails. It is a vital ingredient in several classic drinks, as well as in newer cocktail creations. Here are suggestions for three fantastic cocktails, made with Barceló Imperial. It is a rum made in the Dominican Republic, aged for up to ten years on oak casks. The rum tastes of caramel, vanilla, toasted nuts and wood - hence making it an excellent rum for mixing cocktails with. In Sweden Barceló Imperial can be ordered here. DO

Plum & Done
A gin cocktail, with plum syrup and lemon

Plum & Done

On a recent visit to Skåne, in the south of Sweden, we stumbled upon a plum tree with thousand of ripe plums on it. We turned them into syrup, and we put some others in rum, to be used as garnish. The result is a gin sour with taste and color from those plums, we call it Plum & Done! 50 ml gin (we used Skånska Spritfabriken's) 30 ml fresh lemon juice 20 ml plum syrup Shake with fresh ice, strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with a brandied plum pierced by a tiny fork.
