Finnish Fizz

cocktail Aug 24, 2020

Kalevala's new ruby gin is quite something. It's infused with blueberries and cranberries, giving the gin a refreshing berry flavour as well as an intense ruby red colour. To further play on the products Finnish roots, we chose to mix it with sea buckthorn juice. It's quite acidic but it has a certain elegant sweetness to it as well. The lemon in the mix paired with the simple syrup balances everything quite nicely.⁠

We actually made this drink a few days ago, at one of the hottest days of the season so far in Stockholm. Sipping (or rather gulping) this ice cold fizz was just the quencher we needed in the heat. ⁠

Oh and by the way, the sage garnish is home grown.⁠
