The Aarhus Kolo Colada is a sweet, fresh and festive serve built around this year’s Festuge x Flemming Møldrup gin, featuring juniper, red currant, hemp seeds, peas and sumac. The cocktail adds extra layers to the gin: sweetness inspired by Flemming’s memories of his grandparents’ allotment garden, in the form of raspberry or red currant soda, combined with a soft, exotic touch inspired by Flemming’s summers on the beaches around Aarhus. Pineapple and coconut juice bring a nostalgic hint of 1990s sunscreen.

In our Sydhavn Spritz, Southern Italy meets Aarhus’ Sydhavn in a single glass. Here, our LE•MON•SJÆL•LO takes the lead role, a liqueur where sun-ripened lemons and eucalyptus evoke Southern Italy, while Nordic notes of lemon verbena and lemon balm add a fresh Danish counterpoint. Combined with Italian prosecco and sparkling water, the result is a light, crisp and citrus-forward spritz with fine bubbles, balanced sweetness, and an aromatic hint of herbs. Perfect for a sun-facing terrace or as an aperitivo before dinner – just as an Italian would enjoy it.

Tropical cocktails are wonderful – but Danish nature has its own magic. The Gin Rose cocktail was developed by Njord as an organic alternative, proving that the invasive rosehips can be just as enchanting in flavor as exotic fruits like mango and passion fruit.

We join the Danish Nature Agency's campaign against rosehips by letting the cocktail's delightful taste convince people to drink these delicious fruits! The tasty yet unwanted rosehips are found in our Distilled Mild Wildness gin, which combines the fruit's natural sweetness with gentle floral, herbal, and slightly spicy notes. The marmalade specially developed for the cocktail, rich in rosehip, rounds off the flavor, while the sparkling elderflower rosehip soda adds a light freshness and subtle bitterness. Finally, the cocktail is garnished with dried rosehip peels.

The result is a well-balanced and sophisticated cocktail, where fruity and floral notes dance lightly on the tongue. A cocktail that shows you don’t need to go to the tropics to enjoy fruity freshness and elegant sweetness.
