This is another almond delight from PositanoYes [https://positanoyes.com/] in Stockholm. And coffee and nuts go so well together, especially adding the sweetness of the Disaronno. ⁠ ⁠ Using cold brew in drinks is cool. By brewing coffee cold and slowly a lot of the bitter notes of coffee become less noticeable, creating this smooth and fruity brew that's just right for a cocktail of this type. This particular cold brew comes from Kersh kafferosteri [https://kershkafferosteri.se/] and it just hap

There's a lot of depth to this cocktail. The nutty features of both amaretto and apricot hug the rye in a rather wonderful way. The two sherrys complement nicely with their earthy flavors and lower ABV.⁠ Padrino Recipe by Daniel Schofield Ingredients: 1,25 oz rye⁠ 0,5 oz amaretto⁠ 0,25 oz oloroso sherry⁠ 0,25 oz fino sherry⁠ a barspoon of apricot brandy⁠ 2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters⁠ Mixing: Stir all ingredients with fresh ice and strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube.⁠ Glassware: r

What's extra striking about this drink is how the small amount of amaretto almond liqueur manages to shine through quite a lot, and somehow determine the drink's main profile. ⠀ The amaretto mixes well with genever, a combination we believe we are trying for the first time here. The lemon juice is needed to balance the sweetness from the liqueur. (But despite the fruit juice content the recipe says the drink should be stirred and not shaken). ⠀ The golden tone the amaretto gives the drink is b

This award winning cocktail from 2012 was a lot of fun to make. Carbonating cranberry juice feels awkward to begin with, but it turns out really nice and very refreshing. Using mango juice is also not something we do everyday, and we can honestly say it's the first time ever we've paired it with cardamom syrup! It was all these unusual ingredients and methods combined that made us super excited about this drink. And the result is definitely to our liking. Maybe a slight bit on the sweet side

The Invisible Skier

Okay, let's Tiki the Snow Away! We decided to call this original cocktail The Invisible Skier. It's a milk cocktail gone vegan as we used almond milk as the base. We then made a banana nut bread syrup out of the very same tea from DAVIDsTEA. To really give the cocktail a tiki kick we used Smith & Cross's tropical tasting rum, and to enhance the almond notes we added a small amount of Amaretto. This is a cocktail on the sweeter side. However as the sweetness is coming from almonds, banana and o

Almond Brother

These are two Almond Brothers by Jason Littrell from bar Death & Co. It's a recipe that combines Mexican tequila with Italian Amaretto in a playful way. But can these two spirits really be brothers? 2 oz reposado tequila 0,25 oz Amaretto 1 teaspoon apricot liqueur 0,75 oz lime juice 0,25 oz orgeat 0,25 oz maple syrup Shake with fresh ice, strain into fancy glasses. Well yes, one could believe so. They work very well together, despite both being quite characteristic on their own. The amount of

Almond Espresso Martini

Almond Espresso Martini

Hey we are Swedes, and we are the world's third biggest coffee consumer per capita. We drink it for breakfast, after lunch and during our Swedish “fika” of course. But we also love it in cocktails. Hence an Almond Espresso Martini fits us perfectly. There is a lot of coffee flavour in this one, but it is also nicely complemented by Italian Amaretto liqueur contributing with an almond touch. 1 oz freshly made espresso 1,25 oz vodka 0,75 oz Amaretto 0,5 oz coffee liqueur Shake all ingredients wi
