With spring and soon summer approaching Sweden we wanted to mix and shoot this cocktail outside. The fair-trade-certified Nicaraguan rum from Flor de Caña is produced very close to an active volcano, which we think is so awesome to know. And even if the air is nowhere near as hot here in Sweden at the moment, we still wanted to mimic the natural elements of the Flor de Caña rum production site.⁠

In this drink we are mixing rum with apple juice and orange liqueur. Mixing takes place outside, so a lot of Swedish spring air is also added to the mix. The rum certainly hugs the apple juice in a very pleasant way, and the orange liqueur acts almost a spice in the mix - despite being added in such a small amount.⁠

What’s extra nice about this recipe is that it only uses ingredients many have available at home. But don’t worry if you don’t have simple syrup readily available, just make your own. Let equal parts white sugar and water simmer on medium heat until the sugar has melted completely. Then let it cool down a bit, before you bottle 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
