It's fun to use non-liquid ingredients in cocktails. Like in this one, where orange marmelade is one of the key ingredients. It gives the drink an interesting texture and an almost shiny appearance. Of course it also gives the drink a nice fruity taste.⁠ ⁠ The sprig of rosemary is only used as garnish, but just the aroma from it somehow flavours the cocktail. Also your fingers smells quite nice on their own after handling the rosemary.⁠ Me & Mrs Jones Recipe from Paramour, Texas Ingredients: 1

We would lie if we didn't say it was the name of the drink that initially caught our attention. But then reading through the list of ingredients just got us even more intrigued. Cold-brew coffee, pink peppercorn syrup, amaro, Galliano, Branca Menta and bitter soda . . . wow that is quite some mix! ⠀ And then we took a first sip and realized what a fantastic creation this one is! Obviously full of different flavors, but not overpowering each other. The sparkling lemon soda does a fantastic job of

As autumn is here, and winter is soon around the corner - starting to make these dark brown cocktails makes a lot of sense. We like sipping on this kind of drinks, accompanied by some lit candles when it’s completely dark outside. Now that doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun with the drink. A crazy straw, tilted 90 degrees makes the perfect garnish for this funny named drink. The taste of the cocktail is heavily defined by the Smith & Cross rum. But as this is one our favorite rums we don’t m

Our families know us too well. Among the Christmas presents we recently got were Kara Newman's new book “Road Soda” and a beautiful flask from Rabbit. Wanting to put these thoughtful gifts into immediate use we made a Captain Ron cocktail from Kara's book. This drink, adapted by John Henderson, is supposed to be served at room temperature making it ideal to store in a flask and enjoy even when there is not a fridge or ice around. Consuming a cocktail at room temperature might seem strange to b

Black Manhattan

Black Manhattan

The Black Manhattan, from Bourbon and Branch [http://www.bourbonandbranch.com/] in San Francisco, is an amaro-driven riff of the classic Manhattan cocktail. Swapping the regular sweet vermouth for herbal amaro Averna creates this deep, dark brown, boozy and spicy cocktail that will appeal both to lovers of whiskey as well as amari fans. The recipe for this gem of a cocktail we found in Brad Thomas Parsons's book Amaro [http://amzn.to/2wHrzqO]. It's filled with several other tempting amari re
