Blushing Monarch

Blushing Monarch

So today it’s time for the final post in our series of Australian gins, and the turn has come to Moore’s Roots & Leaves dry gin. This product from @distillerybotanica [https://www.instagram.com/distillerybotanica/] is made using roots such as galangal and ginger, as well as leaves from mandarin and curry trees. The gin has a distinct flavour profile that we find very pleasing. In the Blushing Monarch cocktail we believe this gin works perfectly. It is combined with bitter Campari, sweet orange

While visiting Australia we met up with Inoka at @cocktailco.au [https://www.instagram.com/cocktailco.au/] and she took us to @distillerybotanica [https://www.instagram.com/distillerybotanica/] managed by Philip Moore. There we got to do a gin tasting as well as strolling the gardens where all the plants used to flavour the gins are growing. This half day at the distillery was mesmerizing to say the least. It was such an authentic experience, and hearing Philip talk about the love he has for

In this Negroni riff we thought it was very fitting to use the Spiced Negroni Gin from @fourpillarsgin [https://www.instagram.com/fourpillarsgin/] specifically made to stand up against the flavorful Campari. It’s a great gin, also on its own. But it certainly shines in cocktails like this one. The bottle of gin we brought ourselves all the way to Sweden from Australia. @sandra_l_weissel [https://www.instagram.com/sandra_l_weissel/] took us by car from Melbourne to Four Pillars Distillery.

Just before Christmas, Belinda over at @thepatronsaintofgin [https://www.instagram.com/thepatronsaintofgin/] mixed this cocktail for us, as her contribution to the Secret Santé campaign. We were intrigued, not only by the thoughtful cocktail itself, but especially by one of the ingredients used, the Australian Økar amaro from @okarmaro [https://www.instagram.com/okaramaro/] which we had never heard of before. Well luckily enough we were just heading to Sydney at that time, so we managed to b

We spotted this cocktail over at @trufflesontherocks [https://www.instagram.com/trufflesontherocks/] and it was born when owner Jean-Félix was craving a Boulevardier but was out of Campari. Instead, he took all good things he had on hand and created this limit-filled yet limit-less cocktail. And it's a really good one! It's boozy, strong and in -your-face and that wonderful way that a cocktail can be. The Cynar adds the nice bitterness we've come to love in cocktails and the elderflower lique

Take a look at this portable vodka from Dervana Vodka [http://www.dervana.com/] founded in Sweden back in 2018. It comes in mini bar sized bottles, which becomes completely flat when the vodka is gone. So the Flatiron Martini seemed fitting to make. It's an elegant riff, adding Lillet Blanc and orange liqueur to the vodka itself. We thought the drink was delightful. And although being no vodka connoisseurs we can tell the Dervana vodka is of high quality! We also think the packaging looks re

It's that time of the year. It's time to Tiki The Snow Away! We are thrilled to participate in this tropical event yet another time; @tikithesnowaway [https://www.instagram.com/tikithesnowaway/] This year we're going slightly more subtle. No pineapple, no banana, no umbrellas. But certainly a lot of rum, and nice notes of vanilla from the Licor 43. Combined with sweet peach and stingy ginger beer, this recipe by tiki guru Martin Cate is definitely a must-try! And yes, Sweden for sure need

We had some elderflower liqueur left and wanted to use it in a new drink. We found The Confident Man and thought it sounded like a drink we would enjoy. And we did! This is a bittersweet cocktail that mixes grapefruit and Aperol but balances it with the sweet elderflower. The vodka is what creates the booziness in the drink. We don’t use vodka very often, but thought it worked well in this recipe combined with quite a few other ingredients with characteristic flavors. The Confident Man Recipe
