We're excited to share the news, that @sohodrinks are now available also to us Swedes! From now on it's distributed via Barkonsult and there are three delicious flavors to choose from.⁣

In this post we are experimenting with their cucumber, mint, lemon and lime juice. Yes this bottle is bursting with all those flavors at once! And best of all, its not a carbonated drink to begin with so it can be added already before shaking the cocktail.⁣

What we especially like about all the Soho Juice Co drinks is that the sweetness in them is very well balanced. While not being sugar free, they have just the right sweet tone to work in drinks. In the above original recipe we chose to mix with gin, some fresh lime and tonic water, and we decided a small amount of simple syrup was actually nice to add.⁣

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
