Cocktail and G&T recipes

Bluebarb is, as the name suggests, a cocktail filled with blueberries and rhubarb. It’s a flavor journey through both forest and garden, where ingredients and memories from Danish nature are woven together in an organic, fresh, and sweet serving.

The journey begins in the depths of the forest. Here we find the gin Distilled Cone and Core—an explosion of that fresh, green scent that greets you when stepping between fir and juniper. The cool needles blend with sun-ripened apples, creating a soft and fruity gin base. The gin was born out of a vision of sustainability, where discarded organic Christmas trees along with apple pulp and cores from juice production are given new life and meaning through distillation.

From the forest floor, the path leads on to the berry thickets and the darker sweetness of nature. Here the cocktail finds its depth in a cocktail marmalade of blueberries and gin with lemon balm, developed especially for Bluebarb. It brings a rich, berry-filled and citrus-fresh sweetness, evoking memories of sun-warmed hands and purple stains on your fingers after an afternoon at the forest’s edge.

The cocktail is lifted and lightened when fresh rhubarb from the kitchen garden joins the journey. Rhubarb soda adds sparkling freshness and a gentle tartness that balances the darker sweetness, while a touch of vanilla lays yet another layer of complexity to the experience.

Finally, the finishing touch — pink peppercorns resting on top of the chilled cocktail. It delivers an unexpected but welcome spicy warmth, completing the cocktail experience.

Coney Christmas is a refreshing organic Christmas cocktail that combines the warm Christmas tree notes from Njord's intense gin, Cone And Core, with a fresh mandarin soda and a fruity, Christmas-spiced cherry cocktail sauce developed by Njord.

Our Distilled Cone And Core embodies the essence of a traditional dry gin. Bursting with robust coniferous notes, it lends itself flawlessly to crafting timeless gin cocktails and, naturally, an exceptional G&T, elevated by Njord's signature intensity.
