Bold, rich and briny elegance
1.5 oz / 4.5 cl Purity Vodka 51 Connoisseur Reserve Organic
1 oz / 3 cl blackberry liqueur
1/2 oz / 1.5 cl fresh lemon juice
1 raw oyster, in its shell (optional)
Dehydrated lemon wheel, for garnish
Nordic Rouge
The Nordic Rouge was born from the same idea as our Oyster Ritual: that the sea and a smooth spirit belong together. Dark berries meet bright lemon, and a fresh oyster adds a quiet note of salt and ocean.
It only works with a vodka soft enough to let both sides shine. Vodka 51 Connoisseur Reserve carries the rich blackberry and the briny freshness without a single sharp edge, so the drink feels deep, balanced and surprisingly elegant.
Prefer it without the oyster? Then it becomes a pure taste of late-summer forest berries: deep, fruity and smooth, made for evenings that last.
Bold, rich, a little daring. A cocktail to remember.
Chill a coupe glass.
Add Vodka 51 Connoisseur Reserve, blackberry liqueur and fresh lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake for 12 to 15 seconds, until well chilled.
Strain into the chilled coupe.
If you like, gently place a freshly shucked oyster in its shell into the glass to lend the drink a hint of the sea. Finish with a dehydrated lemon wheel.
Shuck the oyster just before you serve and keep its natural liquor in the shell: that is where the clean taste of the sea lives. If you are new to the idea, try the drink first without the oyster, then with it. Either way, choose a blackberry liqueur made from real fruit and shake hard but briefly.
