Feel free to share this post with your friends, and help us empty out :)

Thank you so much for your support over the years, it has been an amazing experience, and we hope we have been able to put some big Viking smiles on your faces. ❤️

Hibiscus Daiquiri is our delicious take on the banging rum classic.

We've infused a lovely rich white rum with organic hibiscus flowers and mixed it with fresh lime, demerara sugar syrup, and a few drops of lovely vanilla extract.

Elevating the simplicity of the basic Daiquiri, our hibiscus rendition is sweet and rich with luscious floral notes that take you straight to the tropics yumm.

Serve ice cold in the shade and enjoy yourself 🎉

New drink, who dis??

Exciting stuff coming this weekend as we launch our new core range member, the deliciously fruity Goji Martini, made with Goji liqueur!

Packed full of juicy berry deliciousness on a base of fresh sweet vermouth and citrusy gin, the Goji Martini is best served ice cold as a bit of well-deserved self care.

Looks like it's going to be a rainy few days, so garden parties for the long weekend are probably off the table 😭

That being said, you can still treat yourself to some delicious drinks from the warm comfort of your home, so it could be a lot worse!

25/04/2021

Last round sold out pretty much immediately so we just dropped some more tasty tipples off at !

Got friends coming over for some safe socialising on the weekend and want to treat them to something special?

Water Lily is perfect for entertaining, simply shaking it with an egg white or some chickpea water before shaking it with ice turns it into the most amazingly fluffy drink.

Particularly refreshing with hints of sweet citrus and parma violet, we end up smashing a fair few of these when the sun is out mmm.

Nothing like a bit of spring snow to keep a Viking happy 😊

When we say we do everything by hand, we mean everything.

Here's our high-tech labelling setup in action. Scandinavian-powered and awfully inefficient but it does the trick.

Each bottle is hand-labelled and date-stamped. We thought of making a holder for the bottles as they lie down but it turns out that its bottle friends provide excellent support!

When you get your drink, we'll have handled each bottle around ten times, filling them with carefully mixed godly cocktail goodness.

We could probably automate certain parts of the process but we like the artisan nature of our approach and we hope it you enjoy it as well.

07/04/2021

Remember when it was sunny? We definitely do!

Next time you host some safe fun in the sun leave the drinks to us and focus on enjoying the company.

From left to right, we have the Water Lily shaken with an egg white, White Negroni on ice, topped up with tonic and an orange slice, Cherry Bakewell Whisky Sour shaken with an egg white, and Espresso Martini, shaken vigorously for for that luscious foam.

It took us less than five minutes to prepare the four drinks and all the shaking was done in a protein shaker. Significantly less effort than went into the cheese board!

Orange oil droplets and haze tell us it's ready.

Only took a day for the bourbon to turn opaque with a fine film of orange oils covering the surface. That's how we know it's ready, and leaving it for longer will turn the whole thing bitter.

If you look closely you can see the orange oils in the picture. These give our Chocolate Orange Old Fashioned the characteristic authentic orange flavour.

We mix the whole thing with rich demerara sugar syrup and chocolate bitters for the most indulgent treat. Might just make one for ourselves right now, actually!

01/04/2021

Nothing beats real ingredients!

Orange-infused bourbon is the main ingredient in our Chocolate Orange Old Fashioned so it has to be done right.

To get the right orange flavours, we peel boatloads of oranges, painstakingly cutting off the white pith (which was done after this picture was taken), and soak them in delicious bourbon for a couple of days.

Not only does this give our bourbon the perfect authentic orange flavour, we also get to enjoy freshly pressed orange juice after the work is done!

Preparing a big batch of this delicious spirit for the launch of the exciting project this weekend. Can't wait to see you on there!

19/03/2021

Who's excited for drinks with friends again? We definitely are!

Soon we won't have to reach over the fence to cheer with the lovely neighbours and we just can't wait.

Getting these ones ready to share took less than five minutes, so save yourself the hassle and bring a few sneaky ones when you go see your special people 😉

Gráinne Ní Mháille (anglicised Grace O'Malley) was an absolute badass of a woman, so obviously our St Patrick's Day cocktail had to be dedicated to her!

Gráinne was the head of the Ó Máille dynasty in the west of Ireland in the 16th century. She's probably best known as Gráinne Mhaol, a nickname, roughly translating to Bald Grace, she earned from cutting her long hair off when her dad told her she couldn't travel to Spain with him because of it.

Her exploits are too numerous for an Instagram post, but include attacking a castle to kill her brief boyfriend's murderers, being called "nurse to all rebellions in the province for this forty years" by the local English Lord President, and bringing her dagger when she met with Queen Lizzie I to negotiate the release of her two sons (in Latin, mind you). The dagger was "for her own safety".

Irish history is full of next-level badasses and today we raise a glass to you, Gráinne. Sláinte!

Big thank you to the wonderful community for suggesting the amazing Green Spot whiskey from as the base of this delicious homage to an incredible woman.

Gráinne Mhaol

1.5 oz Irish whiskey (we used the incredible Green Spot by )
1 oz coffee liqueur (we used )
3/4 oz orgeat (we used )
1 oz lemon juice

Shake all the ingredients with ice and serve over crushed ice, then enjoy.

Mother's Day is coming up quickly so make sure to get your order in for free Oxford bike delivery on the weekend!

We pedal with our precious packages for free inside the Oxford ring road and in all of OX4 Friday to Sunday, and if you order before 2 pm we'll come by on the same day. Pretty sweet deal, hey?

If you want the delivery to be on a specific day, make sure to write it in the order so we don't ruin the surprise. We can also include a small note if you want to outsource that as well (but we can't copy your hand writing).

And don't worry, we won't tell anyone if you leave it to the last minute 😉

Saturday sunsets are best enjoyed with delicious cocktails and the Cherry Bakewell Whisky Sour is quite possibly the most delicious one out there!

Sours are a family of cocktails over 150 years old and are generally composed of some base spirit with lemon or lime juice and something sweet. This versatile recipe has led to many tasty interpretations, but none as satisfying as our Cherry Bakewell take on it.

We've carefully balanced the sweet cherry and almond flavours with freshly pressed lemon juice for sourness, making this drink both complex and approachable at the same time.

We like ours shaken with an egg white for extra lush. Stick an amarena cherry in there if you have one and your Saturday night is off to a good start.
