In this joint post with Elin over at TRAVEL * FOOD * COOL we are celebrating some of the things Sweden and Canada have a common love for. Elin is making home made gravlax and we are making a cocktail with whisky and aquavit.

Thank you Nick Assaur for being such an inspiration on Instagram, and for always being so supportive on our posts.

Brooklyn Eagle

.3 Days of Winter
The .3 Days of Winter is a Cocktail Detour original, mixing gin and orange marmalade in a wintry way.

Enchanted Orchard
We thought there was something almost fairy tale-like over the Enchanted Orchard cocktail by Joaquin Simó from Death & Co. The name of the drink makes us think about magic forests, strange creatures . . . and unicorns for some reason.
