Grand classic
cocktail club
Preword:
The oldest found physical definition a cocktail comes up in an American political magazine in
May, 1806, its a response to a readers letter asking to define the word cocktail:
Cock tail, then in a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water and
bitters it is vulgarly called a bittered sling, and is supposed to be an excellent
The Sour ones
Acidic and a little rough
The famous bartender Jerry Thomas coined sours in his
book the Bar-tenders guide in 1862 and we have been
making them ever since. With the heavy use of lime and
lemon we bring you some of the modern takes of the
classics sours.
Margarita 130
Diplomtico Planas
Lemon
Raw Sugar Syrup
Maybe the worlds oldest cocktail, most likely the original grogg, with sailors putting lime and
sugar in their rum rations to make it easier to drink. However the name and the drink didnt
become known until the later, it involves a long story with the American-Spanish war, An iron
mine and a beach called Daiquri. The drink is the national drink of Cuba. It has a lot of
variations including Hemingways papa doble. Grand takes the drink a little south with a
Venezuelan rum, lemon and raw sugar syrup to make it a little bit fresher.
I drink to make other people more interesting. - Hemmingway
Grand Clover Club 130
Pisco Waqar
Amargo Chuncho Bitter
Lemon
Sugar
Egg-White
A more unusual one here in Sweden, but is has reached it famed elsewhere in the world
namely the Americas. In recent year this bodega kind of liquor has become more and more
popular and a lot of different new exciting brands has popped up, giving it more exciting and
different tastes. But what is a spirit you ask me without its signature its drink? At Grand we
decided to go for a classic Pisco sour with an exciting Pisco that suits perfectly for cocktail.
Caipirinha 130
Sidecar 140
Cosmopolitan 140
Bison Vodka
Cointreau
Cranberry juice
Lemon
Cranberry syrup
While the drink became popular the last decade after a certain sexy Tv show in New York
City featured it, its origins are is set in the 70s and 80s. Many people have claimed to invent
it but what makes this drink interesting is the shear fabulousness of it and its histories
surrounding it in the LGBT communities of USA. It scores the perfect taste and aroma while
if made with effort looks simply stunning. We use a light and grassy vodka to complement
the dry cranberry and sour lemon.
The Tall ones
A large drink that quenches your thirst.
Tall drinks such as Collinses, fizzes, cobblers, coolers,
crustas, highballs, sours, rickeys, juleps, puffs, swizzles,
sangarees, tropicanas and bucks. Who knew a drink with
soda or juice could have so many different characteristics.
Paloma 140
Viviana Tequila
Pink grapefruit (frga Jonas)
Golden Grapefruit
Lime
Agave Syrup
Soda
While the margarita conquered the world, the Paloma conquered Mexico. Both the history
and the origin of the name is obscure (Paloma is the Spanish word for dove). Don Javier
Delgado Corona, The oldest barman alive is often credited to the drinks creation, tho he
himself is not sure if he was the first, and he much more prefers his the Batanga himself. At
Grand we decided to change up the recipe a bit. We use a sweeter tequila with a mix of pink
grapefruit and yellow grapefruit for a little bit fresher taste.
Jack Daniels
Jack Daniels Honey
Soda
Lemon
Sugar
We all know Jack. Not everyone likes him but we all know him. The Lynchburg lemonade is
named after the county in Tennessee where the Jack Daniels whiskey is made. The drink
was created however in Huntsville, Alabama and has quite a story to it. We spruced up the
recipe by adding a little bit of Jack Daniels Tennessee honey in our version. And if any Jack
Daniels representative come by, we promise we wont sue if you copy our recipe.
Grands Dark and Stormy 130
Tanqueray Gin
Ginger Ale
Lemon
Lemon Bitter
Lemon Balm
A Buck, or a Mule, is an antiquated name for drinks that use Ginger ale or Ginger beer as
one of its main ingredients. It has come in many variations, most notably the Dark and
stormy, the Swedish Fidel Castro and the drink that made vodka popular in the USA,
Moscow mule. We choose The London buck as our representation of this drink, named after
the use of London dry gin. Together with Ginger Ale, lemon, lemon balm and bitters we hope
you will enjoy this classic.
The Shorter ones
A strong and sip able drink
Quality in front of quantity. Simple, no-nonsense drinks
that are packed with cheek-clenching flavour bursts to suit
the palate of every discerning drinker. Delivering an
impactful drink in a smaller glass. Life is too short for a
long drink
Negroni 150
Boulevardier 150
Makers mark
Carpano Antica Formula
Campari
Reagans orange bitter
Negronis long-lost autumnal cousin, Boulevardier has become popular in recent years much
thanks to the rise of the Negroni and the new interest in Vermouth. The drink was invented in
Paris and it ascribed to the founder of the magazine called Boulevardier. Our version of the
Boulevardier is a sweeter version of the Negroni, still keeping the freshness and bitter of the
Campari.
Penicillin
140
Johnnie Walker Blended Scotch
Caol ila Single Malt Scotch
Honey
Lemon
Ginger
Candid ginger (Finns I asia butiken)
The Penicillin stands out on our list since it was created quite recent in 2005 by Sam Ross,
one of our living bartender legends. Why its here is simply that it has more or less already
been declared a classic by many Mixologist because of it simple and elegant concoction.
Simply, a modern day classic.
The Tinis ones
Strong, Rich and Refined
The elegant and neat, where we wear tuxes and cocktail
dresses while we try to imagine we are in a James Bond
movie. Or simply because we value a drink that is based
upon the tools as much as the trade.
Tanqueray no.10
Vermouth Noilly prat
olive pearls
Olive
If the Old Fashioned tells a lot about the bartender who makes it, the Dry Martini says a lot
about you, who drink it. How you order your Dry Martini set a certain gravity about you.
Its history is, not surprisingly, quite muddled and there are several stories involving it. We
take our recipe from the famous New York Knickerbocker hotel, where it is said bartender
Martini di Arma di Taggia, created it.
Manhattan 140
Aviation 140
Hern Gin
Luxardo Maraschino
Violet Monin
Lemon
One of our more zetzy Tinis with its purple glow and lack of bitterness. It was created in the
early 1900s at Hotel Wallick in New York. Supposedly in memory of Wilbur Wright, one of
the aviation pioneers of the Wright Brothers who died in 1912. Channing the recipe from the
original and going with a violet bitter instead of the original cream de Violet we hope you
enjoy this fresh and sweet cocktail.
Martinez 140
Vesper 140
Monkey 47
Bison vodka
Lillet Blanc
A dry martini," [Bond] said. "One. In a deep champagne goblet."
"Oui, monsieur."
"Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina
Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel. Got
it?"
"Certainly, monsieur." The barman seemed pleased with the idea.
"Gosh, that's certainly a drink," said Leiter.
Bond laughed. "When I'm...er...concentrating," he explained, "I never have more than
one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold
and very well-made. I hate small portions of anything, particularly when they taste bad.
This drink's my own invention. I'm going to patent it when I can think of a good name."
Ian Fleming, Casino Royale, Chapter 7, "Rouge et Noir'
Rob Roy
140
Johnnie Walker Scotch
Cocchi Americano
Angostura bitter
Created at the Waldorf Astoria, New York in 1894, to commemorate the premier of the
operetta Rob Roy at the Herald square Theatre in Broadway. At the time in New York it was
quite a normal practice to name drinks after plays to make an association. Seeing how the
Waldorfs original location was quite close to Broadway, it no wonder the drink was made
here. This is a cousin of Manhattan but with an important rule, which is its always to be
made with Scotch.
The Last Word 140
Tanqueray Gin
Green Chartreuse
Luxardo Maraschino
Lime
The Last Word gained its fame as a Prohibition era drink, but it was born earlier around 1912
in Detroit. Famed at The Detroit Athletic Club, the drink is supposedly created by Frank
Fogarty, a vaudevillian, what you may call a monologue stand-up comedian. The drink fell
out existence around WW2, but recently returned to us in 2004 when an old copy of
bartender Ted Saucier's 1951 cocktail book Bottoms Up! was found by a bartender at the
Zig Zag caf in Seattle.
The Fizzy ones
It has to tickle the nose when you bring it up to drink.
Bubbles, there is something very fresh about seeing
bubbles in your glass, it sets a time limit for when the drink
has to be finished. Here are drinks for us that love bubbles.
French 75 140
Plymouth Gin
Cointreau
Lemon
Sugar
Cava
A cocktail named after the Canon de 75 modle 1897, A French cannon used during WW1,
after the kick it would give you after you tasted it. The name 75has been used many
cocktails both during and after WW1. This name with its recipe was finally set in stone after
the republished The Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930. The drink later became famous around
the world after it appeared in the movie Casa Blanca in 1942. Our version is using the
unusual Plymouth Gin together with Cointreau liquor, to better adapt with our house bubbly
Cava.
Hurricane 150
Matusalem Platino
Matusalem Classico
Passion Fruit
Orange
Lemon
Grenadine
Tiki Bitter
This for all intense and purposes it is a Tiki drink, however it was not created in the
Caribbean but in New Orleans. Story goes that tavern owner Pat OBrien had a lot of rum at
hand in the 1950s and it wasnt very popular compared to scotch or bourbon. He came up
with the drink and poured it in a Hurricane Lamp remade as a glass. He gave it away for free
to start with but the drink caught on so fast he ran out of glasses. We use a recipe that is not
completely original but we think represent the drink better.
Mai Tai 150
Matusalem Platino
Matusalem Classico
Grand Marnier
Amaretto
Pineapple
Lime
"Maita'i" is the Tahitian word for "good". Supposedly cried out during the first serving of the
drink to a good friend of its Creator Victor J. Bergeron, also called trader Vic. The Mai Tai
has literally hundreds of incarnations. But one thing is for certain, is that the Mai Tai is
synonym with Tiki culture, no matter how its made. To even out the drink, we take the
Trader Vic recipe and add pineapple for a more refreshing taste.

Created by Don the Beachcomber, This drink according to a stories will turn you into a
zombie. Its High Alcohol amount makes a very strong drink, and while we were hesitant in
adding it to our list, it is one of the classic Tiki drinks. Note that we will only serve you one of
these, only if you are seated in the restaurant and only if you havent had anything else to
drink that evening. We are not equipped for Zombie Hunting.

There are Many, MANY different histories to this drink, and its defiantly one of Swedens
