Jasmine Cocktail
The “Jasmine” is our third post, out of four, with cocktails from Jamie Boudreau’s The Canon Cocktail Book.
Queen’s Cocktail
The classics are the best, now we try Queen’s Cocktail from Harry Craddocks legendary “The Savoy Cocktail Book” from 1930. The Queen’s Cocktail is a White Lady with Absint. At first it sounds strange but it works wonders. A must try!
Jack With One Eye Cocktail
The Jack With One Eye cocktail might not be the most photogenic in the world, being so brown. But this is a truly delicate drink from Scott McCallum’s & Victoria Walsh’s book Canadian Cocktails. Made with freshly brewed coffee and Canadian whisky, it’s no wonder the cocktail lacks color, but it certainly doesn’t lack… Continue reading Jack With One Eye Cocktail
Annabel’s Special Cocktail
This cocktail is from Annabel’s club in London’s Berkeley Square. Annabel’s opened already in 1963 and is supposed to be a very stylish and sophisticated night club and restaurant. We haven’t visited, but trust William Yeoward’s words in his book American Bar.
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.

Miniature Mezcal Margarita
Cocktails should be fun. Cocktails should be simple. Cocktails should be social. These are the forewords in innovative cocktail book Shake: A New Perspective on Cocktails by Eric Prum and Josh Williams. And we couldn’t agree more. Cocktails can contain posh spirits, exclusive decorations and other hard to get stuff. The most important ingredient however is… Continue reading Miniature Mezcal Margarita
Lucien Gaudin cocktail
This is a classic cocktail, and the recipe is widely available. We found ours in favorite cocktail book Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails by Ted Haigh. The cocktail is named after a fencer who received gold metals in the 1924 and 1928 olympic games. There are quite a few ingredients in this cocktail, but the… Continue reading Lucien Gaudin cocktail
