Usually, when I think cocktails, I think of cocktails with fruity responsive flavours such as ginger cloak allspice pineapple lime etc. I rarely think of bitter flavours and Amari. These are flavours I associate with traditional non-tropical cocktails. Usually, these […]

For me, one of the principles they use when I create cocktails is that one should use ingredients which they prefer themselves. That means that I usually not provide a set of specific liquors when I write up the recipes. […]

Based on a cocktail that sailors used to drink, this is a variation of the cocktail. Generally, when it comes to this cocktail there are many different variations and I will not go into them, the internet will probably give […]

Sometimes when I make cocktails, I start out with an idea that I want a certain type of profile. For me with this cocktail I started out with the idea that I wanted the basic flavours from early tiki cocktails. […]

This week I have decided to make a cocktail that is similar to the tiki-style cocktails I have been making recently. The cocktail with its fruity characteristics and several alcohols makes the cocktail reasonably similar to tiki cocktails. One of […]

Mostly in my journey with cocktails I have made cocktails which I, at least believe, will like. Since I have had hundreds of cocktails since I started this hobby, I have started to learn my way around what I like […]

Pink Daiquiri

As I restart my cocktail series, I will begin with a rather simple cocktail. In essence it is no different than the regular daiquiri, with slightly different proportions and a pink syrup it is simply just rum, lime and sugar. […]

I haven’t done a post in three weeks at this moment, as I have not made any cocktails for this time either I haven’t had anything to post. A little more than a month ago I was the co-host of […]

A summery cocktail with drawing upon the elements of the Aperol Spritz. And drawing upon the Corpse Reviver no. 2. This cocktail has some characteristics from all of the mentioned cocktails. A gin cocktail or an Aperol cocktail. Wine and […]

This week I read an askreddit post about female things men like. One of the answers in the thread was regarding cocktails where they prefer girly drinks over manly. I would categorise the “girly” drinks in two categories, pink pretty […]

From the darkest Peru comes one of the most beloved characters in children’s literature, Paddington the bear. With his hat, suitcase and coat he is quite distinctive. The bear who got his name from Paddington station in London, where he […]

Brown Derby

Category: Bourbon, Cocktails, Sour, Whiskey

Some of the classic cocktails that are not widely known today, are not known because of a reason. This cocktail probably invented in the 1920s or 1930s combines bourbon, grapefruit juice and honey. For me this is not a good […]

One of the most influential non-bartenders to the cocktail world might be Ernest Hemingway. Not being an historian, the tale of Hemingway’s drinking will just be introduced here. If you find this fascinating, there is more to read about him […]

The Aperol Spritz have become quite a popular cocktail. Personally, it is one that I really like, so much so that it has become my go to cocktail in the summer half of the year. While it is currently winter […]

Champs Elysees

A prohibition era cocktail with strong French influences, this cocktail first appeared in the savoy cocktail book. To begin with the name is the same as one of the most famous streets in France. But if a cocktail as a […]

A cocktail that is well known and also quite popular. If I am to describe this cocktail, what it is, in terms of other cocktails, I would consider it to be a tequila sidecar or a tequila white lady. The […]

Jasmine

This week’s cocktail is one named the Jasmine. It is basically a white lady with some Campari. As this is not a classic cocktail, there is not much heritage to it, however that does not detract from this being a […]

With relatively little known about this cocktail, it is known that it has been around since the prohibition. Documented in Harry Craddock’s The Savoy Cocktail Book from 1930, this cocktail can be considered to be a forgotten classic. Inmany ways […]

This is a cocktail that probably dates back to before the prohibition, some sources statethat it was first recorded in 1919, though I have not been able to check if that is true. At least it has been recorded in […]

The cocktail of this week is an Aperol Collins. Somewhere in between an Aperol Spritz and an Aperol Sour, this cocktail is a light refreshing summery drink, that would be recommended to anyone who likes either as an alternative. When […]

This cocktail from the prohibition era, combines gin, honey and lemon, making it similar to the Gold Rush I posted last week. The story is that the honey was used to mask the poor quality of the “bathtub gin” that […]
