We are in the middle of the “Strawless Cocktail Week“. It's a global event aimed at trying to reduce the endless amount of disposable plastic straws we tend to use in drinks.

Today there are so many more environmentally friendly straws available. They can be made of metal, glass, bamboo or paper, but what they all have in common is that they are either reusable or degradable.

Now, we are the first ones to admit we have previously used plastic straws,. We might even do so every now and then in the future when we want to highlight a special cocktail with an eye catching straw. What we will promise to do though, is to at all times think twice, and in most cases choose a reusable straw rather than a disposable one.

For this reason we purchased a set of five metallic straws. They came with a small brush for internal cleaning. These straws are obviously dishwasher friendly, meaning they will be more or less sterilized between every us.

The first drink we use these straws in are in Cocktail Detour original; Cucunut Spring, a refreshing summer cocktail with both cucumber and coconut in it.

The Importance of Ice

When it comes to crafting exceptional cocktails, every detail matters—and ice is no exception. Clear ice has become a hallmark of professional mixology, elevating drinks in both aesthetics and functionality. Unlike cloudy ice, clear ice is free of impurities and air bubbles, offering a pristine, glass-like appearance that enhances the visual appeal of any cocktail. But it's not just about looks. Clear ice is denser and melts more slowly, keeping your drink colder for longer without diluting its

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
