Preptime: 1 minutes

On New Years eve 2023 the much loved queen of Denmark Margrethe 2nd announced, that she would abdicate and leave the throne to the Crown Prince Frederik, hence Frederik the 10th. It hasn’t happened in 900 years that a monarch of Denmark voluntarily steps down, and everyone is still a bit in shock. But he is a great man, with a lovely wife and some quite reasonable kids, and we are very happy to see him ascend.

Coronation no.10

The Coronation cocktail was allegedly made in 1902 for the coronation of Edward the 7th of England. We don’t know by whom though. It appears first in The Savoy Cocktail Book from 1930, and then again in 1935 in The Waldorf-Astoria bar book, so it seems to have been a quite popular high society tipple then. But it falls out of fashion during the war, and goes the way of the condor.

The original Coronation no.1 is made with 1 part Dry Vermouth and two parts Fino Sherry, accentuated by dashes of orange bitters and Maraschino Liqueur. Combining tradition with innovation, recklessness with care, we are happy to share it with you. The Angelica that gives our gin its name is abundant in Greenland where King Frederik the 10th served in the Sirius patrol.

Martini
Classic, Short & Boozy
The Martini is, along with the Manhattan, probably the epitome of late 1800s classic cocktail-making. Wild myths of origins, simple preparation that highlights the bartender's craft, wonderful flavor and a healthy kick. Maybe it has its origin in a Martinez, maybe it has roots in a marketing campaign by vermouth company Martini. But it is certain it starts out being made with Italian (sweet) vermouth, and gin. In the early 1900s, it changes to French (dry) vermouth, which gets known as a dry martini. Then comes Churchill, Bond, and suddenly the 80's. The recipe stands for itself, but let us stress here that Espresso Martinis, Pornstar Martinis, and Breakfast Martinis are not martinis at all.

Espresso Martini
Modern Classic, Dessert
A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, as the bard said. In the 1980s anything served in a stemmed triangular glass was a martini, and no one had the stomach for actual martinis. Hence comes Pornstar-, Breakfast and French martinis, and of course, the star of the show, the Espresso Martini. Technically a dessert cocktail more related to a shaken Black Russian, it has become a staple at any bar worth its salt for the last 30 years.
