Since two weeks back I’ve been wanting to do a Gin Rickey, but the store didn’t have any limes so I bought a grape instead… However, after “perfecting” that experiment I’m back to the Gin Rickey. I really like the Tom Collins, and I also like the Grapefruit Collins I did last week, so it would feel wrong not to do the Gin Rickey when I’ve been waiting to post about it for two weeks haha! I’ve seen a lot of different versions of doing the Gin Rickey, but my absolute favorite is by doing it as I do a Tom Collins but with Lime instead. By doing that you’ll get what I think is perfect balance.   Gin Rickey Recipe: 5cl Gin (I used one of my favorites, Blekinge Gin by @oneninespirits) 3cl Lime juice 2cl Simple Syrup 5cl Soda Water Directions: Shake the gin, syrup and lime juice with ice. When cold pour in the soda water in the shaker, when you later strain this over a glass with ice it will be more mixed in than just pouring the soda water afterwards. Gin Rickey is an absolute favorite when it comes to soda based drinks and I just love the taste of lime, it’s a bit sharper and less “clean” than a lemon and that just might be it. I like to do it like this, I’ve seen with

However, I felt like it missed a lot of acidity so my first impression was that I had to redo it. The drink last week itself wasn’t bad by any means, it’s just that I like a lot of acidic sharpness, and it gives me a fresh boost which is my favorite way to flavor alcoholic drinks. The thing is that if I just take away the grape juice and add lemon, it will be a Tom Collins and I’ve basically not done anything. However, since the fruitiness from the red grape is so flavorful that I’ll keep it. So which citrus works best with red grape? The citrus that worked out best for me was Lemon, so I just added that. I tried different ratios and found that 2cl of Lemon juice to 3cl red grape juice was the best.

I wanted to make it the same way as a sweetened Rickey or a Tom Collins but exchanging the citrus with red grapefruit. With this I knew that it wouldn’t get to be a sour drink, it would be more bitter, sweet and fruity. Which made me miss a bit of acidity, I might do one with lime or lemon next time. With that I mean the same recipe as today but with added lime or lemon. While doing this drink I actually thought that you could easily make it to a non-alcoholic drink instead, I’ll look into that since I want to introduce more mocktails in the future.   Grapefruit Gin Soda Recipe: 5cl Gin (I used one of my favorites, Blekinge Gin by @oneninespirits) 3cl Red Grapefruit juice 2cl Simple Syrup 5cl Soda Water Directions: Shake the gin, syrup and grapefruit juice with ice. When cold pour in the soda water in the shaker, when you later strain this over a glass with ice it will be more mixed in than just pouring the soda water afterwards. This was a really refreshing drink, I would love to tweak it a bit more in the future, but for those of you doesn’t like the sweet sour taste,

Last week I did a review of a limited edition Gin from @stockholmsbranneri, drinking it neat really gave you ideas of ways to use it, thoughts of how to enhance the strengths it had and so on. In the same post I wrote about my favorite way of doing a Gin & Tonic using this Gin which was: “non flavored tonic, (I used @ekobryggeriet), a lot of ice, 6 timut pepper corns and 1 whole bay leaf. That was in my opinion the perfect herbal and earthy Gin & Tonic!”. Obviously you can see that I used more than one bay leaf and a lot more timut pepper than six hehe… Sometimes I just want to go all out for a picture, and sometimes I want to go for elegance, for today’s picture it was all out! But I liked it, in some sips I got a pepper and that was a numbing feeling to the tongue, pretty cool! Kaffenytt – Herbal and Earthy Gin & Tonic Recipe: 5cl Gin  (@stockholmsbranneri – Ön, Timut pepper, bay leaf, strawberries & elderflower) 5cl Tonic (@ekobryggeriet – original Tonic) Bay leaf Timut pepper corns Directions: Nothing special to be honest, just pour the gin and tonic, together with the crushed ice and spice. The thoughts behind this GT are that I’m enhancing the already infused ingredients with new and dried ones. You could easily do the same but with fresh ingredients like strawberries and elderflower instead. However, since we’re in January I chose to

Så i två veckor i rad har jag gjort cocktails med passionsfrukt i, jag ville bibehålla temat av passionsfrukt, men orkade inte riktigt göra en cocktail… Så vad kan man göra då? Fint hantverksöl är ju ett klockrent alternativ, en Berliner Weisse som detta är, är en fantastisk syrlig öl. Denna är även fullproppad med en massa passionsfrukt, vilket ger en mycket mustigare fruktighet än en cider exempelvis.

Förra veckan så var jag ju extremt sugen på att göra en Mambo Jack, men det var slut på ananasjuice överallt så det fick bli en Passionsfrukt Daiquiri istället. Som för övrigt var extremt gott och jag ångrar verkligen ingenting med det valet! När jag slutligen gjorde en Mambo Jack så var jag tvungen att göra två, jag gillade inte riktigt hur man gjorde första drinken. I receptet skulle man blanda ned passionsfrukten efter man haft i all vätska i shakern (whisky, ananasjuice & licor43). Men jag föreslår att du gröper ur passionsfrukten direkt ned i shakern och skakar om den med. Det smakar bättre, du slipper kärnor och din drink blir mer balanserad!
