Cocktail and G&T recipes

The taste of the Eggspressionism cocktail goes beyond national borders - a true descendant from heaven with gold dust and exotic flavours. It marries Danish nature with Japanese ume plums and yuzu citrus, making this a complex yet refreshing cocktail.

This cocktail is an exciting combination of watermelon and aromatic bitter, which goes perfectly with the deep licorice and coriander notes from Njord Distilled Mother Nature gin.

 

This elegant classic has its roots in 19th-century New York, where it was originally known as the "Sweet Martini." With its perfect balance of gin and vermouth, it quickly became a favorite in Manhattan's bars. When Prohibition swept through America, the Gin & It made its way across the Atlantic to London, where it took root among the British – not least because of their love of gin. The name "It" refers to the sweet vermouth's country of origin, Italy, which is an essential ingredient in this timeless cocktail.

With Njord Distilled Mother Nature and our Njord Ligalab Vermouth, this classic gains a Scandinavian twist. The gin, with its notes of sweet woodruff, rowan berries, and sea buckthorn, adds depth and a taste of Danish nature. Meanwhile, the vermouth contributes complexity with its base of Danish apple wine, spiced with aromatic herbs and aged in Burgundy barrels.

The result is a cocktail that combines sweetness, bitterness, and a subtle dryness – perfect to enjoy neat over ice as a flavorful appetizer.
