In this classic Boulevardier cocktail we are using Naked Grouse blended malt scotch whisky as the base ingredient. And oh how well it blends with both the Campari and the sweet vermouth!

Charlie Chaplin
The Charlie Chaplin cocktail dates back from before 1920, and originates from New York’s Waldorf-Astoria.
Tailwind
The Tailwind has a rather unusual cocktail ingredient in it; Madeira. However, this turns out to be the shining star of this beautiful drink.
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!
Exile in Ryeville
The Exile in Ryeville cocktail, found in Brad Thomas Parsons’s book Bitters, is a twist on a classic Sidecar.
Elequence
This original cocktail we ended up with is rather bitter, in a gorgeous way. Funny enough the bitter notes are not only coming from the gin but also from the clementine juice which has a certain bitterness to it.
Iridescent
The pièce de résistance of the Iridescent is the red wine syrup sink. The idea is to get wine syrup (made by melting together equal parts red wine and sugar) to sink to the bottom of the glass without colouring the rest of the cocktail.
Cromulent
Today’s original cocktail, Cromulent, borrows both its proportions and its composition from one of our favourite cocktails, The Last Word.
Petrichor
In the middle of this week of Cocktail Detour original recipes we wanted to pay homage to our home country Sweden, and make an aquavit based cocktail. Here is the Petrichor!
Conflate
We call this original cocktail “Conflate”, and we make it with Naked Grouse scotch and prune juice!
