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.

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

With tequila leading the way, the characteristic Suze is still able to put its watermark on this cocktail. We love the combination, and think the yellow/golden colour of the drink is so fitting for summer.⁠ Bending Blades Recipe by Christopher Day⁠ Ingredients: 1,5 oz silver tequila⁠ 0,5 oz Suze⁠ 0,5 oz Manzanilla sherry⁠ 0,75 oz grapefruit liqueur Mixing: Stir all ingredients with fresh ice and strain into a coupe.

The Wizard

The Wizard

The Illusionist gin [https://www.theillusionist-gin.com/eng/home] is truly magical. When poured from the bottle it has an almost purple colour, but when it is mixed with other ingredients its colour changes. Part of the excitement is seeing what colour the mixed drink gets after adding the gin.⁠ ⁠ When we created this drink we thought it would end up a bit blue, but when the gin was mixed with Suze, it decided to go golden/amber instead. When seeing that, we just had to call the drink “The Wizar

We recently had drinks at Dear Irving [https://www.dearirving.com/dearirving-gramercy] and one of our favourite cocktails on their current menu is the Golden Hour. It is a perfect mix of light and sweet Italicus, dry sherry, bitter Suze and refreshing Cocchi. And that salty olive oil makes the perfect edible garnish, complementing the cocktail extremely well.⁠ ⁠ We love that Dear Irving are sharing the recipes for a lot of their drinks in their Instagram feed. Definitely worth checking out. And

This desert-inspired drink combines tequila and Suze in an interesting way. There is not a lot of the Suze in the mix, and still it defines the drink quite a bit. Suze is bitter, very bitter - but nice bitter. It is also very yellow which shows also on the prepared cocktail. We think this drink is really nice, at the same being quite unique in the way it's mixed.

Vida Fria

Vida Fria

So this is Matt’s riff on The Corpse Reviver No 2. Gin is subbed out for mezcal which is what got us hooked on this recipe. And as there’s also Suze in the mix, which we absolutely love, it was a no-brainer to start shaking. Rinsing a glass with absinthe might seem like a a lot of work for such a small amount of liquor, but do not skip this step - it adds a surprising depth of flavour to the drink. The first sip om the Vida Fria is a rather bitter experience, but already on the second sip your
