We are quite excited to try Seedlip for the first time. We’ve been wanting to make more alcohol free drinks, and this Steergroni is a good example of how non-drinkers can still be able to enjoy a crafted cocktail.⁣

Seedlip is a fascinating product. It is produced and distilled just like any high quality gin, except there is a further and final process - in which the alcohol is removed. This means you’re still left with infused herbal flavors, a clean and crisp taste and an overall feeling of a lovingly crafted product. ⁣

Another bottle we are trying for the first time is Giffard’s Bitter, a totally alcohol free product tasting almost exactly like the famous deep red bitter normally used in a Negroni. We tried the Giffard Bitter also with just some sparkling water, and it tastes absolutely fantastic! A new favorite go-to-bottle in our home bar for sure!⁣

The third ingredient used in today’s cocktail is home-made. We wanted to mimic sweet vermouth, and we did so by infusing an alcohol free red wine with lots of raisins. To really encourage a flavour explosion we did this infusion the sous-vide-way, letting it simmer for a couple of hours in a 70 degrees Celsius circulating water-bath. The result was awesome, a rich vermouth-like liquid.⁣

Combining the Seedlip, Giffard’s Bitter and our no ABV vermouth created this Steergroni that was an instant hit to us. Oh, we will be sipping a lot of these in the future. Also we will be able to offer a top notch cocktail to guests not drinking alcohol for different reasons.⁣

The Importance of Ice
Why clear ice makes cocktails more beautiful.

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
