French Seventy-Five Cocktail
The French Seventy-Five is a classic champagne cocktail, with gin and fresh lemon in it. We decided to enhance the yellow color of this cocktail by using Canadian Ungava gin, which is infused with labrador tea, among several other ingredients. What’s in it 2/3 gin 1/3 fresh lemon juice 1-2 bar spoons simple syrup champagne… Continue reading French Seventy-Five Cocktail
Cherry Old Fashioned Cocktail
It’ soon Valentine’s Day, so what could be more fitting than a lovely red cocktail? Your loved one you probably want to treat with only the best though, so in this cocktail we are using high quality cherry Heering liqueur.
Yesterday, Today and Amaro Cocktail
So this is yet another great recipe from Brad Thomas Parsons excellent book “Amaro”: Yesterday, Today and Amaro.
Princess Mary’s Pride Cocktail
In Harry Craddock’s legendary “The Savoy Cocktail Book” we found the recipe for this cocktail, created already in 1922 to mark the wedding celebrations of Her Royal Highness Princess Mary.
Chinese Fizz Cocktail
Last week was all about the Chinese New Year 2017, so we thought Death & Co cocktail “Chinese Fizz” by Phil Ward was a fitting drink for the evening. This is a cocktail based on rum, with added flavors from Cointreau, Luxardo maraschino liqueur, lemon and grenadine. A great drink to evoke the new year festive mood once more, a month after the western world’s celebration.
Silk & Gators Cocktail
Greg Henry’s “Savory Cocktails” is quickly becoming a favorite of ours, and today we are making the Silk & Gators cocktail from his book. There is something intricate about cognac cocktails isn’t there? In this drink the cocktail is the true star, supported by minor amounts of other spirits.
Sloe & Steady Cocktail
Tonight we are shaking a truly smashing cocktail from Oskar Kinberg’s “Cocktail Cookbook“. The Sloe & Steady is a drink made with several brightly colored spirits, hence the finished cocktail gets a very spectacular look. Oskar describes the cocktail as perfumed and we are bound to agree. Especially the violet liqueur adds a very aromatic touch. Do… Continue reading Sloe & Steady Cocktail
Golden Lion Cocktail
The Golden Lion cocktail recipe we picked up from Greg Henry’s excellent book “Savory Cocktails“. Seeing Galliano in the ingredient list made us intrigued, and when we saw it was paired with two other yellow spirits, aquavit and dry vermouth, we had to give it a try. What’s in it 1,5 oz dry vermouth 0,75 oz… Continue reading Golden Lion Cocktail
To Hell with Spain #2 Cocktail
Don’t get us wrong , we love Spain (especially Barcelona). And Greg Henry doesn’t give any explanation to the cocktail’s naming in his book Savory Cocktails, from where we extracted this recipe. The cocktail is originally created by Ira Koplowitz at Bittercube’s Cocktail Bitters. The list of ingredients is relatively long, and contains Green Chartreuse, one… Continue reading To Hell with Spain #2 Cocktail
