Cloudberries – the golden gems of the Nordic forests – are a true delicacy, often enjoyed in jams, desserts, and gourmet dishes. But did you know they also make a stunning addition to cocktails? With their sweet and tangy flavor, cloudberries elevate any drink to something truly special. Here’s a simple yet elegant recipe: the Cloudberry Sour – a Nordic twist on the classic whiskey sour.

Recipe: Cloudberry Sour

A Nordic take on a classic – tangy, sweet, and beautifully golden.

Ingredients (1 serving):

  • 4 cl bourbon or light whisky

  • 3 cl cloudberry jam (or cloudberry purée)

  • 2 cl freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 cl simple syrup (optional, depending on the sweetness of your jam)

  • 1 egg white (optional, for a frothy top)

  • Ice

  • Dried cloudberries or lemon zest for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Shake all ingredients without ice (dry shake) if using egg white.

  2. Add ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.

  3. Strain into a lowball glass filled with ice.

  4. Garnish with dried cloudberries or a twist of lemon zest.

Serving Tips

This drink is best served outdoors on a sunny summer day – try presenting it on a wooden tray with wildflowers and fresh berries for an extra Nordic feel. It’s the perfect pre-dinner drink for midsummer or a late summer garden party.

Cloudberries aren’t just beautiful – they offer a flavor experience like no other, especially when turned into a cocktail. Try our Cloudberry Sour next time you want to impress your guests or simply treat yourself to something special. Cheers!
