Champagne Snowball

Wow @servedbysoberon - your cocktail recommendations are always of the highest standard! When Matthias spotted our previous egg liqueur post, he reached out and urged us to try Simon Difford’s “Champagne Snowball”. A recently received bottle of Champagne Piaff became the base. A crisp dry sparkling wine which is absolutely stunning on its own. It has those bready notes that we like so much, and we also think that pale blue label looks so good. The egg liqueur we use is from Poli, an Italian gr

Greenpoint

The Greenpoint is a variation on the classic Brooklyn cocktail, featuring sweet vermouth and yellow Chartreuse in place of dry vermouth and maraschino liqueur. Created in 2006 by Michael McIlroy at NYC's Milk & Honey bar, it is named after a neighborhood in Brooklyn and features spicy rye whiskey and aromatic and orange bitters. The Greenpoint is just one example of the endless possibilities for variations on the classic Manhattan and Brooklyn cocktails. Greanpoint Recipe by Michael McIlroy at

Mole Model

One of our favorite bars in Stockholm is bar Brahe at Hotel Reisen, located in Stockholm's Old Town. Their cocktail menu is always intriguing, and drinks are in most cases based on classics, but then have an interesting twist. Together with Irish whiskey brand Tullamore D.E.W. - bar Brahe's bartenders Denise Sjöberg and Paul Broberg have created the Mole Model, a sort of Old Fashioned, laced with banana - and we're talking real banana! To mix this drink you need to start 24 hours in advance by

Deauville

recipe by Harry Craddock 20 ml Calvados 20 ml Cognac 20 ml Cointreau 20 ml lemon juice a barspoon or two of simple syrup Shake all ingredients with fresh ice and strain into a coupe. This Sidecar riff is exquisite and the Calvados in it really comes through. The apple flavour fits this type of drink very well. We were lucky having some Amalfi lemons available during our Calvados Cocktail Lab session. These juicy lemons are sour for sure, but almost in a sweet way - if that makes sense.
