Boldly refreshing, a hint of zest
2 oz / 6 cl Purity Vodka 34 Signature Edition Organic
1/2 lime, cut into wedges
1/2 oz / 1.5 cl simple syrup
Crushed ice
Simple syrup: warm equal parts sugar and water until dissolved, then cool. Keeps in the fridge for up to a month.
Nordic Smash
The Nordic Smash is built on the same idea as Brazil’s Caipiroska, the vodka cousin of the Caipirinha: fresh lime and sugar pressed together right in the glass, then poured over crushed ice. Rustic, generous and impossible to rush.
Muddling releases both the juice and the fragrant oils from the peel. Vodka 34 Signature Edition brings Effortless Smoothness to that bright, zesty base, so every sip feels fresh and lively, never sharp.
Simple, bold and endlessly refreshing.
Place the lime wedges and simple syrup in a sturdy rocks glass.
Muddle gently to release the juice and the oils from the peel.
Fill the glass with crushed ice, pour in Vodka 34 Signature Edition and stir to bring everything together.
Top with a little more crushed ice and garnish with an extra lime wedge if you like.
Press the lime firmly but don’t grind it. You want the juice and the oils from the peel, not the bitterness of the white pith. Four or five gentle presses with the muddler are plenty.
