Skrea Jalapeño Fizz

Skrea Jalapeño Fizz

The Jalapeño Fizz is where the Nordics meet Mexico in a lovely combination. Akvavit is too often left out of the cocktail conversation... BUT we would like to change that. Here it shares a glass with jalapeño and lime in a well-liked long drink that is both hot and fresh.
