Ok, let's be honest - this post is more about the peculiar glassware, than the actual cocktail.⠀

We found these two glasses, with built-in glass straws, in a thrift shop and had to buy them. They're heart-shaped, literally speaking, which gets quite obvious when they're filled with a raspberry based drink.⠀

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
