We had a few ounces left of a bottle of pimm’s winter edition that we bought last year, and we decided it was time to empty it. Online we found the below recipe for a Winter Sidecar cocktail. What’s in it 1,25 oz pimm’s winter 0,75 oz applejack 0,25 oz lemon juice 0,25 oz cointreau 2… Continue reading Winter Sidecar Cocktail

Tricolore Cocktail
The Tricolore is created by Agostino Perrone at The Connaught Bar in London. We’ve picked up Perrone’s recipe from William Yeoward’s elegant cocktail book American Bar. With Perrone being of Italian heritage, but working in London, the ingredient list is obviously very personal and dear to him. What’s in it 1,5 oz london dry gin… Continue reading Tricolore Cocktail
Rose Gin Negroni
When we were in Toronto Canada some time ago we found a spirit from Dillon’s called rose gin. It’s a floral spirit, with an amber color. Rose petals are one of the peculiar ingredients. In a review we read about this spirit it was suggested to make a negroni out of it. So we decided to… Continue reading Rose Gin Negroni
Black Salt Cocktail
From excellent book Savory Cocktails by Greg Henry we’ve picked this rather unique recipe containing salt in the actual cocktail. And it’s not just any salt you’re supposed to use, but the very cool black lava salt. The black salt you buy in small blocks, and then grate it yourself. It probably doesn’t taste very… Continue reading Black Salt Cocktail
Doctor Cocktail
Being Swedes, it’s nice to sometimes do cocktails based on Swedish punsch. The Doctor is an equal-part-cocktail made also with gin and lemon juice, apart from punsch. We served the cocktail in glassware from Reijmyre, a Swedish glassworks company who have been producing glass since 1810. It’s the second oldest glassworks still producing glass within Sweden. Some… Continue reading Doctor Cocktail
Christmas Porthole Punch
Merry Christmas to you all, today we are drinking punch. We have a porthole (an infusing container) that we use too seldom and punch for two is an excellent occasion. Punch is a loanword from Sanskrit and means “five”. The drink was originally done with five different ingredients: alcohol, sugar, lemon, water and tea or… Continue reading Christmas Porthole Punch
Daiquiri
The star of tonight is a Daiquiri, maybe one of the most simple cocktails to make. By shaking rum, fresh lime juice and simple syrup a refreshing and slightly sweet drink is created. What’s in it 1,5 oz light rum 1,0 oz fresh lime juice 0,5 oz simple syrup (or more or less according to taste)… Continue reading Daiquiri
Conference Cocktail
This is another nice cocktail from Death & Co’s excellent book. The cocktail is made with a lot of ingredients, however all of them are common. It’s still an unusual drink though, as it’s made with both whiskey, calvados and cognac – hence combining two very different base spirits. The result is pure geniality. A… Continue reading Conference Cocktail
All time favourite cocktail “The Last Word”
We’ve had posts before with The Last Word, but we couldn’t resist posting it again as it is such a great cocktail. It’s also an easy cocktail to make at home, as long as you manage to scout the ingredients. This recipe is an equal part one, so just make sure to use fresh lime… Continue reading All time favourite cocktail “The Last Word”
Copa de Oro – variation
We asked for tips for more Cynar cocktails and Home Bar Girl came to rescue. Cynar is great to enjoy with only ice and soda but you can do so much more. To blend it with calvados is an excellent idea. On our Cynar road travel we tried to mix it with Aquavit in the Trident cocktail and in… Continue reading Copa de Oro – variation
