So, how's everybody doing now a few days after Christmas? We had a great time, celebrating with our families. Now there are a few “normal” days before New Years Eve and we thought a coffee cocktail, in the style of a world famous cream liqueur would be fitting.

Sidekick Cold Brew Coffee is new Swedish brand making cold brew coffee and also turning it into concentrate. We started by tasting it natural, and it has a distinct and very pleasant coffee flavour. Not too acidic and beautifully dark brown in colour.

*For this drink we turned the coffee concentrate into a flavoured syrup. Start by combining 2 parts coconut sugar with 1 part water. Let it dissolve over low heat, and when cool again add an equal part coffee concentrate into the coconut syrup.

When the flavoured coffee syrup is combined with genever, sherry and coconut, you end up with a heavenly drink. So smooth, so full of flavour, and so contributing with the coffee kick we need just now!

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
