Our Saturday afternoon cocktail is made with elderflower liqueur from Spriteriet - produced very close to where we live. It has e very natural and refreshing flavour - it tastes a lot of elderflower!⁠

In this drink, called the Johanna, vodka is the base. It is unusual for us to fall for these type of drinks, but we thought neutral vodka was perfect to pair the premium elderflower with. ⁠

A Spirit(ual) Journey Throughout the North of Sweden

It has always been on our wishlist, to tour the more northern parts of Sweden. Our interest in spirits and cocktails have taken us to many places in Sweden and abroad, but until now not really more north than Uppsala. Well this just changed, as we got the chance to pay a visit to gin producer Norrbottens Destilleri. And this was just the start of five fantastic days, driving between so many beautiful spots. Norrbottens Destilleri Töre, close to Kalix, is where Norrbottens Destilleri produce the
