The Swedish cherries are here, and we wanted that to permeate this post. While not using the cherries in the actual cocktail they made a perfect side snack to be enjoyed together with the drink.

Assembly Cocktail

Cognac in cocktails – yes we think it works really well. There is something luxurious with Cognac isn’t there, just like with Champagne.

Lido Shuffle

Bubbly, pale pink, low ABV – what more could you ask for a hot summer day in Sweden?

Sacrilege

A low ABV cocktail that still bursts with flavour and colour. The sweet cherry liqueur combined with two types of vermouth is truly irresistible.

Bikini Bottom

A tropical treat made extra delightful thanks to the pineapple rum and the amaro. The crushed ice makes this drink extra refreshing, and the smoky scotch on top is so cool!

Kitty Highball

This red wine based cocktail is called Kitty Highball. And because of the wine in it it gets this beautiful ruby red look.

Soft Shock

Being 50% a Gin & Tonic and 50% a Rebujito this highball gets quite Spanish, mixing two of Spain’s most popular drinks.
