Dead Parrot Colada

Dead Parrot Colada

It was the name, and the colour. Both intrigued us enough to make this intense blue cocktail. While it will likely not actually kill a parrot, it would certainly make it dizzy. With both gin and akvavit in the mix, this is a potent one.⁠ ⁠ It's kind of a Pina Colada riff, where lighter coconut water replaces heavy coconut cream. It's definitely to our liking, and the lightness combined with its freezing features make this a most enjoyable exotic drink. Recipe by Simon Difford Ingredients: ⁠1,5

We love how this recipe combines Suze and akvavit, two rather distinct spirits, quite potent on their own.⁠ ⁠ But thanks to the other sweet ingredients in the drink, it ends up super pleasant with a bittersweet note and a lovely yellow colour.⁠ Recipe by Florian Dubois Ingredients: 0,75 oz Suze⁠ 0,75 oz akvavit⁠ 0,66 oz lemon juice⁠ 0,5 oz Cocchi Americano Bianco⁠ 0,33 oz Maraschino liqueur⁠ Mixing: Shake all ingredients with fresh ice and strain into a chilled coupe.

Using apple brandy and Calvados is a great way when you want to create those summery cocktails. The apple flavour is very refreshing, at the same time maintaining that stiffness we often want from a cocktail.⁠ ⁠ Now there are quite a few ingredients in this one, but most are only added in small amounts. It's still vary much the apple brandy defining the drink.⁠ ⁠ We actually swapped the apple juice and the honey syrup for an Apple, Honey & Lemon still drink from The Soho Juice co [https://sohoju

Exciting news, especially for us Swedes, is that we can now get our hands on this overproof rum from Ron Esclavo. The rum is from the Dominican Republic, which we thinks somehow tells from the intricate and exotic-looking label. ⁠ ⁠ With new rums we like to initially walk the tiki trail. Being an overproof rum the Ron Esclavo is kind of made to be in highball drinks. The high ABV means it will hold up well to the other ingredients and the flavour will not get diluted. ⁠ ⁠ In this original recipe

Violette liqueur is a very special ingredient. It has an intensely blue colour as well as a really potent flavour. It can easily owerpower any cocktail. However used in the right amounts (read: small amounts) it can be pretty fantastic. It has floral, almost perfumed notes and it contributes with both an exotic and a decadent vibe.⁠ ⁠ In this recipe the violet liqueur is combined with gin and lemon juice, making it very similar to classic cocktail Aviation. But it's that addition oh Maraschino l

Feeling fancy this Saturday? If so why not stir yourself this decadent number by Ezra Star? Cognac cocktail always put us in the mood, and this one is by no means no exception. Italian Punt e Mes is another guilty pleasure, made with one part vermouth and half a part of amaro. Exquisite on its own and extremely good in this cocktail.⁠ 1910 Recipe by Ezra Star Ingredients: 0,75 oz mezcal⁠ 0,75 oz Cognac⁠ 0,5 oz maraschino liqueur⁠ 1 oz Punt e Mes⁠ 2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters Mixing: Stir all i

This is the other cocktail Madeleine Solo Rapp [https://www.instagram.com/madeleinesolorapp/] had during her first visit to Attaboy in NYC. It is somehow similar to the one we posted the day before yesterday, but this one has both an amaro as well as maraschino liqueur in it.⁠ ⁠ From the photo of the handwritten recipe that Madeleine posted we couldn't really see what type of glassware this drink was meant to be served in. We went with thin rocks glasses, and thought it worked pretty well!⁠ ⁠ Th
