As the July MxMo was prolonged it was a bit short of time until it was time for the next..but I had the very doubtful “advantage” of not having been to NOLA..so I escaped some stress I guess..( just trying to tell myself I didn´t miss anything)
Thanks Save the Drinkers! for hosting!
For my city Stockholm i haven`t found any special regional cocktail with a traditional connection to the city itself, but i live in the land of the swedish punsch which is the most local flavor or product that i can find. Its mainly consumed in the midsummer celebrations, along with other spirits and traditional midsummer food. Its also an old tradition to drink the punsch to pea soup.

This is a great post. I’ve got you in the roundup!
Interesting. The only Swedish drink I was familiar with before reading this post was Glögg.
Thanks Kevin!
Balihai,so you have tried the Glögg? when we get closer to christmas i`m planning to write about Glögg here. Every year we get the Glögg of the year and these are interesting stuff, the new ones has quite innovative new flavoring combos with spices and such. I missed last years as it did finish in 4 days..i`m prepared this year to rush to buy on day one.
Thank you for this post and providing such a rich history of the beverage. With the release of the Haus Alpenz’s Batavia Arrack, it is finally available here in Boston. A few of the better bars in town have put drinks on the menu and one makes their own Swedish Punsch to have on hand at all times. Very tasty stuff. Cheers!
Thanks Kevin for hosting and for taking up a very interesting topic.
Frederic, its quite upside down that Batavia arrak (which was available here before) isn`t anymore..i had to get mine from your country!
Tiare,
Great post! David Wondrich talked a little bit about the history of punsch during Tales, but this was especially interesting.
