Today we’re mixing up 4 cocktails with Swedish Punsch! This 1 ingredient deserves more attention in our drinks. The Doctor Cocktail might be the best-known classic, but bartenders have been experimenting with Swedish Punsch for more than a century. I’ll share a few timeless recipes plus one of my own creations that I think you’ll love. Cheers!
I also have some exciting news to share - we've finally launched House of Bitter Bear! It’s a new online bottle shop I built with Curiada, featuring the same bottles I use in my videos. Now you can easily shop the same bottles I use, organized by recipe. Check it out and let me know what you think!
