4 Seasons

“I wanted to create a cocktail which represents the four seasons we have in the North of Sweden. Very cold winters with snow, the spring when everything comes back to life, neverending sunlight in the summer, and the colorful fall. Working harmoniously together, like a perfect cocktail.”

• Drink creator Richard ‘Chille’ Man
