Schnapps your fingers this Christmas for Flävar Swedish Schnapps

Flävar - a clear vodka-based schnapps - has arrived from Sweden, and Dancing Queens all over the UK are loving the glamorous makeover of this retro liquor.

Flävar is inspired by the Swedish concept of Fika, a traditional Swedish ritual that emphasises the importance of connection, of taking a time out, and enjoying a sweet treat or two. It is time to find your Flävar!

Made with some of the world's freshest water, expertly crafted on the shores of beautiful Lake Boren in Southern Sweden, this is a seriously smooth and stylish liquid encased in vivid designs and with a bottleneck proudly emblazoned with the Swedish flag. 

The secret to the great taste is award-winning vodka mixed with deliciously indulgent flavours: this is a clear, crisp mouth-watering schnapps, made for good times, for those with good taste, and lovers of delicious desserts too. So it's ideal for Christmas time celebrations. There's no mistaking the distinctive herbal schnapps flavour though, a secret recipe, that is nostalgic of great nights out, but with an altogether more elevated taste experience.

Best served chilled as a shot, (tip - keep the shot glasses in the freezer!) Flävar is also the perfect cocktail base thanks to its smoothness. From cocktail newbies to seasoned mixologists alike - there's no limit to what you could create at home. Feeling fancy? Why not try Flävar's festive twists on classic cocktails - theSticky Toffee Espresso Martini, or the warming Cinnamon Bun Martini,(further inspired by Fika often involving a cinnamon bun!) or one for the pudding lovers - the Banoffee Martini, all with an original, punchy herbal aftertaste that will make you want to hit the dancefloor!

The beloved classic: the smooth, moreish, sweet and salty sensation that shouldn't work, but it really does! Perfect for Winter gatherings, this mouth-watering favourite is a treat, and the ultimate cocktail ingredient in Christmas Martinis**. It even tastes delicious poured into a hot chocolate - yum!

Flävar Strawberry and Lime- 25% ABV https://flavarspirit.com/#strawberry-lime

Did you know Sweden has some of the most succulent strawberries in the world? Candy-sweet and filled with flavour, mixing the berries with zesty lime takes this liquid to a whole new level of Flävar.

To get the party started try a Strawberrijito - ½ a shot glass of fresh cold lime juice, 50ml cold Strawberry and Lime Flävar, garnished with a fresh mint leaf.

FlävarRaspberry and Liquorice - 25% ABV https://flavarspirit.com/#raspberry-licorice

What the Swedes don't know about liquorice isn't worth knowing! Sweden is known for its long and cold winters, and liquorice is considered a 'winter warmer' to crank up the heat when needed. 

Carefully combined with the sweetness of Wild Swedish Raspberries, this is a quirky combination guaranteed to break the ice. Be the most original and serve the more daring guests at the party a Kiss Under the Mistletoecocktail - 50ml cold Raspberry & Liquorice Flävar, 20ml Orgeat, 25ml fresh Lime Juice gently stirred over ice - a marvelous way to add some Flävarto festivities.

Originality, individuality and a little bit of indulgence is at the heart of every bottle: this is a schnapps to show off. So long Granny's Cocktail Cabinet, it's time for Schnapps to shine!
