We have actually had this drink some years ago, at Bar Goto in New York [https://www.bargoto.com/]. We were so stunned by the beauty of simplicity in this drink. Some very “pure” ingredients combine with elegant shiso and it creates this sophisticated, low-ABV-cocktail.⁠ ⁠ Finding shiso leaves in Sweden is not too simple though. Since being to Bar Goto we've stayed on the lookout for these leaves, and when we finally found them they were red rather than the original green. But somehow it only ad

A real quencher this one is. During summer these type of highball cocktails catch our interest a little bit extra.⁠ ⁠ Also we think it is nice to use Suze. Bitter it might seem at first, but mixed with other ingredients it can transform into very unexpected flavours. Suze is almost a bit magical, and quite exciting to use because of that.⁠ Dried Meadow Flower Recipe found via Difford's Guide⁠ Ingredients: 1,5 oz reposado tequila⁠ 1 oz elderflower liqueur⁠ 0,5 oz Suze⁠ 0,5 oz lemon juice⁠ soda

Our Saturday afternoon cocktail is made with elderflower liqueur from Spriteriet [https://spriteriet.se/] - produced very close to where we live. It has e very natural and refreshing flavour - it tastes a lot of elderflower!⁠ ⁠ In this drink, called the Johanna, vodka is the base. It is unusual for us to fall for these type of drinks, but we thought neutral vodka was perfect to pair the premium elderflower with. ⁠ ⁠ And so it was! The drink became just as refreshing as we'd hoped for. A good sum

Yes! Finally we can use these copper mugs we bought when we were in Japan last summer. They are perfect for mule cocktails, even if the one we're making today is not the most classical one.⁠ ⁠ But swapping vodka for scotch is actually super nice. It gives the drink a bit more depth in our opinion and makes it a even more interesting.

We wanted to try the Illusionist Gin [https://www.theillusionist-gin.com/eng/home] in something else than a G&T and came up with the above recipe. It somehow captures summer with that elderflower in it, but also adds licorice notes from the much wonderful absinthe bitters. (If you don't have the bitters, just a drop of pure absinthe would work very well). The gin has a wonderful blue/purple colour which really complements the drink. This gin screams to be mixed with clear products, to fully s

Tequila and lime is a classic combination that is always good. In this recipe elderflower liqueur acts as a sweetener and Punt e Mes brings both flavour and a fantastic colour. ⠀ This recipe is very enjoyable, and we are extra fond of the tequila and mezcal mix - they combine very well. ⠀ Salud!

We happened to have a bird coupe available, which felt very fitting to serve this drink in. The Emerald Toucan is a delicious one made with an irresistible combination of liqueurs, tequila and sour lime juice. ⁣ ⁣ We love the name of the drink, it sounds so . . . exotic! It's maybe not officially a tiki drink, but it's very close. We felt we needed to arrange a grass and flower backdrop to give this creation a natural habitat.⁣ ⁣ The drink tastes fantastic.
