Atlas
We love the idea of vintage/forgotten cocktails. Sure it is also tremendously fun to try new and innovative signature cocktails, but it’s rewarding to every now and then dig in to old cocktail books and recipes. So we will now make six posts in a row, each featuring a vintage- or almost forgotten cocktail.… Continue reading Atlas
Preassure Drop
It’s shimmering look is created with gin, amaro, vermouth and pear brandy.
The Brave
This cocktail is not supposed to be chilled but enjoyed at room temperature. We have to admit we stirred it with ice though…
Beauregard’s Breakfast Cocktail
The “Beauregard’s Breakfast” is our fourth post, out of four, with cocktails from Jamie Boudreau’s The Canon Cocktail Book.
Cherry Old Fashioned Cocktail

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.

A great drink to evoke the new year festive mood once more, a month after the western world’s celebration.

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.

Mezcal Paloma
We discovered mezcal this year and it’s one of our favorite spirits (even competing with gin). A late fall afternoon we wanted to make a cocktail containing mezcal and some fresh organic grapefruit we had in the fridge. So, the perfect opportunity to do a Mezcal Paloma! Whats in it? 1 oz mezcal 1… Continue reading Mezcal Paloma
