Five of Copenhagen's best bartenders competed to create a cocktail with a Scandinavian taste, inspired by Danish design's streamlined features, combining the modern and trendy with the historical and traditional, including Cheery Herring Liqueur, and which would be easily made worldwide. The winner was Mr. Gromit Eduardsen from Copenhagen cocktail bar 1105.
How to make a Copenhagen
5 cl. Bols Genever
2 cl. Cherry Heering Liqueur
2 cl. fresh pressed lime juice
2 cl. sugar syrup (Monin)
1 dash Angostura Bitters
Shake with ice cubes and strain into glass without ice. Peal a slice of an orange and put it on top, so that the scent of the orange floats on top of the cocktail offering aroma of orange.
Tastes of Copenhagen “The Copenhagen cocktail tastes absolutely delicious. It combines the elements we were looking for. It is open to foreign influences, it is balanced, it can be enjoyed by both a Danish and international audience. It was served with style, humor and passion, and yes, it tastes of Copenhagen”, says critic Philip Duff, internationally renowned cocktail consultant and owner of Door 74 in Amsterdam.
