Dansk Forår (Danish Spring)
No ALCOHOL
Developed as part of an ‘alcohol free’ section of the menu in a once beloved Copenhagen bar, the Dansk Forår is an interesting fresh take on a garden-inspired drink. With cucumber and celery alongside Seedlip Garden 108, it’s a green juice with extra depth to wow at your party.
WE MADE THIS!
Honestly, we didn’t know what to make of this at first. Most alcohol free drinks tend to swing on the fruity side, so trying a celery-heavy mix was new to us. But this really is a taste of Spring, and the cucumber with a hint of vinegar takes us straight back to Denmark.
