Seeing yellow Chartreuse in a recipe always makes us happy. Less known/used compared to its green sibling, yellow Chartreuse is a smooth and less alcohol strong herbal liqueur that goes well in many cocktails.⁣ ⁣ It's now been almost a year since we bought our vintage glass camel stirrer, and we still haven't found just the right shoot to use it in. Now we figured we can't wait anymore so here we go, without any reasonable connection to the recipe itself, this cocktail is gently stirred with a

The one with no name

The one with no name

This is a cocktail without a name, created by Rodrigo over at @rabo.de.galo [https://www.instagram.com/rabo.de.galo/] and it is an herbal riff of a classic Pisco Sour. That yellow Chartreuse makes the cocktail not only yellow, but also earthy and boozy. It works very well with the more neutral pisco, as well with the sour lemon. Surprisingly the sweet vermouth doesn't change the colour of the drink too much, it stays pretty yellow. Thank you Rodrigo for your inspirational feed. It was an hon

Lido Shuffle

Lido Shuffle

Bubbly, pale pink, low ABV - what more could you ask for a hot summer day in Sweden? We find ourselves doing more and more highballs the hotter the temperature gets, and it's probably not so strange in the end. Of course nothing beats pure water as a quencher, but this Lido Shuffle cocktail comes pretty close! Lido Shuffle Recipe by Evan Harrison Ingredients: 1 oz Cocchi Americano 0,5 oz Aperol 0,5 oz yellow Chartreuse 0,5 oz lemon juice Mixing: Shake with fresh ice, and strain into an ice

Bartender's Bingo

Bartender's Bingo

A lot of ingredients, and a lot of originators. This is the Bartender's Bingo by Luke O'Neil, Evan Kenney and Sam Gabrielli. According to the legend this cocktail started out as a parody. But the result turned out so delicious, the cocktail ended up on the menu of a bar in Somerville, USA. So yes, you need to bring out a lot of bottles, squeeze both lemon and lime, produce a lot of bitter dashes and then put all bottles back again. Is it worth it you may ask yourself… …we say yes!

April in Paris

April in Paris

When your strawberry loving mum visits, and you want to impress her with a cocktail, you serve an April in Paris. This gorgeously pink drink is composed by David Vaughn and we found the recipe in Imbibe Magazine. And I'm proud to say this cocktail got mum's approval. She adored the cocktail, both its look and its flavour. It's a refreshing experience and the strawberry and the elderflower shine through. Vodka is a good base in this drink, as it lets those other fruit flavors take center stage.

Sunset at Gowanus

Sunset at Gowanus

We've chosen to disguise a Sunset at Gowanus, by Alex Day, as a tiki cocktail. Because all that rum, Chartreuse and lime definitely evoke tropical feelings: Some time ago we were gifted a taste sample of a small-batch-rum, produced by To Gents @togents [https://www.instagram.com/togents/] in Denmark. The rum is called Redrum, and it's delicious! Being a very flavorful and aromatic rum we'd say it's perfect in tiki cocktails, as well as other rum cocktails mixed with strong and characteristic in

Cromulent

Cromulent

CROMULENT Today's original cocktail borrows both its proportions and its composition from one of our favourite cocktails, The Last Word. The Cromulent ends up much more yellow compared to the brilliant original though. And this is because we use both yellow Chartreuse, Strega and lemon juice. And substituting the gin in this cocktail is dry vermouth. It brings the same bitterness as gin but with lower ABV. Also worth mentioning is that yellow Chartreuse is less alcohol strong compared to green

La Rosa Louisiane

La Rosa Louisiane

Peychauds is a quite astonishing cocktail ingredient. Not only is it a very versatile bitter, found in both classic and contemporary drinks. But it also gives drinks a very beautiful pink to red colour when mixed with clear spirits. A very good example of this is a cocktail called La Rosa Louisiane by Will (who makes up 50 percent of the inspiring @kaleandcocktail Instagram account). This cocktail is boozy, herbal and bitter. And we love it!! La Rosa Louisiane Recipe Ingredients: 2 oz gin 0,
