Nordic Martinez

A complex Scandinavian evolution of a pre-Prohibition classic, this spirit-forward drink swaps traditional sweet vermouth for Klaposter Mjod. The fortified honey wine introduces deep wildflower honey sweetness and warming caraway-and-snaps botanicals that marry seamlessly with barrel-aged aquavit, dry maraschino cherry, and bright orange bitters. It is a rich, aromatic stirred cocktail engineered for adventurous cocktail drinkers and cold-weather sipping.
