Vieux Ananas

Seeing pineapple rum in any cocktail recipe always gets us interested. The tropical tasting Vieux Ananas by Ezra Star is certainly no exception. This drink is so good! Lots of pineapple flavour, sweetness and booze at the same time. It's a stiff cocktail, but still so easy to drink. The dehydrated slices of pineapple are probably more meant to be enjoyed in your breakfast müsli or as a snack. But we are quite obsessed with using them as cocktail garnishing instead.

This $@&!' Bananas!

This $@&!' Bananas!

Cocktails with banana we think is fun. A few years ago banana liqueur was more or less frowned upon, most bottles available were either too sweet or too chemical…or both at once! Today it's different. And one of the reasons is Giffard's Banane du Brésil, which actually tastes like real banana, and is balanced in its sweetness. This is exactly what we are using in this cocktail called This $@&!' Bananas! from @joshperrybar [https://www.instagram.com/joshperrybar/] as featured in the feed of @so

Boulevardier

Boulevardier

#nakedgrouse_partner The Boulevardier is striking for several reasons. First, there's the ruby red colour thanks to the Campari. Secondly the flavor is so nicely balanced. We are using Naked Grouse scotch whisky which works brilliantly in this classic cocktail. And third, it's a three ingredients only recipe, with sweet vermouth as the final ingredient. The Naked Grouse is a blended malt scotch whisky based around a few different whiskies with Highland Park being one of them. Normally whisky i

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

Some Beach

#nakedgrouse_partner We are really excited to partner up with Naked Grouse, trying out their blended malt scotch whisky. It's a whisky aged on first fill sherry casks, creating a very smooth spirit suitable for both classic and newer cocktails. And making whisky cocktails is a lot of fun. Having previously mainly been a liquor to enjoy on it's own, there are now so many nice recipes for scotch and whisky cocktails available. And today we start off with a variation of a cocktail called Some Bea

Manhattan

Manhattan - one of the most iconic cocktails ever - finally featured in our feed for the very first time. A cocktail doesn't get more simple and yet refined at the same time. If you don't count the bitters, this is a two ingredients only cocktail, made with whiskey and sweet vermouth. The dashes of bitters are essential though and the cocktail would not be the same without them. We like to stir this classic for a rather long time, say at least a minute. Two things will then happen; the cocktai

Jitterbug

Jitterbug

Let's kick off this new year, called 2018, with our new year resolutions and a cocktail containing exactly what's needed after yesterday's celebrations, fresh coffee! The recipe for the Jitterbug is from bar Canon's book. What's particularly fun about this cocktail is that the coffee creates this wonderful foam when shaken together with the other ingredients. Feeling very awake and alert after all this coffee, we start to contemplate our cocktail new year resolutions for 2018; 1) We definitel

Beholder's Eye

Thank you Nick Assaur for being such an inspiration on Instagram, and for always being so supportive on our posts. Today we are excited to share our celebration to you, and your cocktail Beholder's Eye. And one could say this is also an homage to Canada and a few really nice Canadian products we discovered when we were in Vancouver this summer. First of all there was the fantastic Odd Society Spirits distillery where we sampled and bought most of the products used in this recipe. And there was
