Seeing pineapple rum in any cocktail recipe always gets us interested. The tropical tasting Vieux Ananas by Ezra Star is certainly no exception.

This drink is so good! Lots of pineapple flavour, sweetness and booze at the same time. It's a stiff cocktail, but still so easy to drink.

The dehydrated slices of pineapple are probably more meant to be enjoyed in your breakfast müsli or as a snack. But we are quite obsessed with using them as cocktail garnishing instead. (Yes, you have seen them before in our feed). However, nothing stops us from snacking on them when the drink is finished =)

And look, the pineapple cocktail sticks we bought at Barkeeper Silverlake almost a year ago are still going strong!

Rum in Cocktails
Barceló Imperial

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

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.
