Norwegian Iceberg Instructions
Introduction
The Norwegian Iceberg is a refreshing and delightful cocktail that is perfect for warm summer days or evenings spent with friends. This icy-cool cocktail combines the flavors of mint, lemon, and vodka to create a drink that is both refreshing and invigorating. The Norwegian Iceberg gets its name from its light blue color, reminiscent of the glaciers found in the beautiful Norwegian landscape. Whether you're hosting a summer party or simply looking for a new cocktail to enjoy, the Norwegian Iceberg is a must-try.
Instructions
To make the Norwegian Iceberg, start by filling a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Next, add a generous amount of fresh mint leaves to the shaker. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves to release their flavors and aromas. Once the mint leaves are nicely muddled, add a shot of vodka to the shaker. If you prefer a stronger cocktail, feel free to add an extra shot of vodka. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the shaker, being careful to remove any seeds that may have fallen in.
After adding the lemon juice, it's time to shake things up. Place the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds, or until the shaker feels icy cold. This will help to combine all of the flavors and chill the cocktail. Once shaken, strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass or a glass filled with ice. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lemon twist for an extra touch of elegance. Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the cool and refreshing Norwegian Iceberg.
Best served in a Beer Mug.

The Norwegian Iceberg cocktail is a refreshing and delicious drink that has its roots in Norway. This icy concoction is perfect for cooling down on a hot summer day or as a festive beverage during the holiday season.
Originating from the frosty landscapes of Norway, the Norwegian Iceberg cocktail combines traditional Scandinavian flavors with a modern twist. The key ingredients include aquavit, blue curaçao, lemon juice, and soda water. Aquavit is a popular Scandinavian spirit distilled from grain or potatoes and flavored with herbs and spices such as caraway seeds, dill, or fennel. Blue curaçao adds a vibrant blue color to the drink while providing an orange flavor profile.
To make this delightful cocktail, start by filling a shaker with ice cubes. Add 2 ounces of aquavit, 1 ounce of blue curaçao, and half an ounce of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the shaker. Shake well until chilled before straining into a glass filled with ice cubes. Top off the drink with soda water for some effervescence.
The Norwegian Iceberg cocktail is known for its striking appearance – the bright blue hue stands out against any backdrop like an iceberg floating in Arctic waters. The combination of aquavit's herbal notes with citrusy lemon juice creates a complex yet balanced flavor profile that appeals to both seasoned drinkers and newcomers alike.
