Pink is Cooler

Pink is Cooler

Pink gins are sweeping the summer, and Gibson's kindly offered us to try their version. We wanted to turn it into a cooler, taking down the ABV and therefore allowing for bigger sips of this quencher. We wanted to enhance the pink by mixing with Lillet Rouge and adding red Peychaud's bitters. Before the club soda is added the drink might look almost red in the glass, but that carbonated water turns everything pink in the end. The more water you add, the pinker the cocktail gets. While we gener

The first sip om the Vida Fria is a rather bitter experience, but already on the second sip your

Effervescence

Effervescence

EFFERVESCENCE Here we wanted to create an original low ABV cocktail. We have been curious about Lillet Rouge for a while (after enjoying Lillet Blanc for a long while). The red version is a bit more fruity and maybe slightly sweeter than the white version. So we decided to pair it with bittersweet Aperol and sweet vermouth, and then top everything with club soda to get the sparkles going, and to further lower the ABV. We knew beforehand, just by looking at the bottles, that we would end up wit
