Pineapple juice gets almost a bit foamy when shaken, and that's one of the reasons we think it's such a cool cocktail ingredient. Of course it also tastes great, it has a certain defined sweetness that's hard to replicate with other fruit juices.⠀ ⠀ If you make the juice yourself, using fresh pineapples, you are also left with one of the best cocktail garnishes - pineapple leaves. Their green color contrast so perfectly with the yellow juice, making the drink look very exotic.⠀ ⠀ This cocktail

Movember is here, so expect to see lots of moustaches as a symbol for the month’s focus on mens health. Our contribution is this moustache garnished cocktail called the Bull Fight. And if you look closely, doesn’t that moustache also resemble the horns on a bull? We thought so, and decided November was the perfect month to post in, for all those reasons. The drink is delicious! Falernum is an exciting ingredients, tempting to consider nothing but simple syrup. But it is actually more of a spic

We just love using preserves in cocktails. It often gives a very fresh and vibrant flavour to the drink, at the same time sweetening it a bit. In this cocktail it's orange marmelade that is combined with genever and fresh orange juice to create a very orange intense cocktail. The result is a delicious, fruity yet boozy, drink that is so nice to sip slowly a hot summer afternoon or evening. Prince of Orange Recipe by Sahil Mehta Ingredients: 1,5 oz genever 1 oz Drambuie 0,5 oz lemon juice 0,

Cognac in cocktails - yes we think it works really well. There is something luxurious with Cognac isn't there, just like with Champagne. And even if only three quarters of an ounce is used, the Cognac in this drink still shines through and define the whole experience. Mixing it with Drambuie, a type of whisky liqueur, is quite clever. It adds sweetness while enhancing the boozy Cognac at the same time. And yes, that awkward tiny amount of leftover honey syrup in our fridge was finally put into u

The Shipwrecked cocktail by Raffi Jergerian might be more of an autumn cocktail. But we gladly made it also now during spring as it's anyway such a delicious cocktail. With both rum and cinnamon syrup in the ingredients list this is kind of a tiki cocktail, minus the traditional tiki styling and garnishing. What might look like a simple cocktail when served turns out to be a quite complex flavor experience. The rum paired with the scotch, accompanied by cinnamon and sweet Drambuie surely creat

Let's focus a bit on glassware, such an essential part of any cocktail. We love going glassware hunting. The charity shops in Stockholm see us frequently, and we can never resist a good glass temptation. The coupe glasses in this photograph we spotted on a recent trip to Berlin, in a charity shop on Friedrich Straße. There were four of them, in perfect condition, but with no price tag. As the selection in the shop seemed quite curated we expected a hefty price tag but were really surprised to f
