It's winter!!!!

Well, It's getting cold and It has already snowed once this year...... This of course means it's Irish Coffee-time :)

Although I do love other coffee drinks too - this has also been my favorite.
(Other favorites; Nutty Coffee, Mexican Coffee, Greenland Coffee, Bailey's Frappé)

When it comes to which whiskey I prefer in my Irish,
I'm rather torn.....
Jameson (www.jamesonwhiskey.com)
is obviously the most common one here,
but kind of like
Kilbeggan. (www.kilbegganwhiskey.com)

My perfect Irish is like this

4 cl Irish Whiskey
1-2 tbs Demerara sugar
8 cl Hot Coffee
Fresh cream

How to
Stir the coffee and sugar till the sugar is dissolved, then add the whiskey.
Finish with a top layer of fresh cream as seen on the picture.
The coffee is drunk through the layer of cream.

Tip; The cream should not be like whipped cream, but it will taste much better if you whip a little bit of air into it ;)

My summer in cocktails ;)

Here are some of my favorite drinks from the summer;)
The blue cocktail is called Blue Train, it's lovely!!!
Heard it was made by the amazing Dale DeGroff...

The Longdrink is called Lynchburg Lemonade, and is one of my all-time
favorites!!! I Looooove Mr Jack ;)

Then there is the Sazerac, which is a fantastic cocktail (in a tumbler glass here)
It is said to be the first ever american cocktail, and obviously I had to try it - since I visited New Orleans this spring . (Said to be its hometown )

Last is a little idea I had late at night, (not too late) which mixes Passoã with mint. Tasted very nice, perhaps a little to sweet for my taste ;)

Fun day at the office ;)

So this is my latest
"invention", and I
really really love it!!!

Im sure many have done it
before me, but still -
haven seen this versjon anywhere ;)

I haven't given my baby a name yet
- but I think it deserves a spot here anyways......

I feel so healty when I drink it....ha ha ;)

to make this frozen cocktail:

4 cl Light Rhum
1,5 cl Fresh Limejuice
1,5 cl Simple syrup
7-8 Basil leafs

So, Im hooked on the gin cocktails :)

Gin is such an underestimated spirit these days, and I hope people will see that
it can be used in a lot more than Gin &Tonic or Dry Martinis... ;)

This cocktail has ALWAYS been my absolute favorite,
and I think it always will

White Lady

2 cl London dry gin
2 cl Cointreau
2 cl Fresh Lemonjuice

Shake ingredients on ice, strain into a prechilled cocktailglass.
Garnitsh with a maraschino cocktail cherry
