Royal Tribute Cocktail
In William Yeoward’s American Bar: The world’s most glamorous cocktails we found the recipe for a Royal Tribute, a sparkling cocktail.
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
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
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 added an orange zest twist in the finalized cocktail, making it look even more fancy, and obviously adding a… Continue reading Eeyore’s Requiem Cocktail
Applewood Negroni
Can you smoke anything? Our answer is almost. A smoking gun is really cool to work with and we have previously smoked cod, tomato and popcorn. Hence the time was come to smoke our first cocktail! We wanted to try a cocktail that isn’t smokey on its own (for example by containing whisky or mezcal).… Continue reading Applewood Negroni
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
Alaska
But while it’s easy to make, it’s still a surprisingly complex cocktail tastewise. The Chartreuse on its own is so full of flavour, and when it is combined with the semi sweet old Tom gin and the bitters a snow angel is indeed born.
