Nordic & Co cocktail Le Hibou stockholm old fashioned gimlet

A mix between an Old Fashioned and a Gimlet, the Nordic & Co cocktail is named after Stockholm’s famed Nordiska Kompaniet (NK) department store

Named after Stockholm’s iconic Nordiska Kompaniet (NK) department store, which is visible from Le Hibou atop the Bank Hotel. The berry-flavored Nordic & Co cocktail is a mix between an Old Fashioned and a Gimlet, and is perfect day or night.

Le Hibou Bar Manager Brasse Wallefelt calls the drinks his “favourite at the moment.” Adding, “it contains Naked grouse, Cardamom, Cloudberries and Galliano. The perfect drink for any time really. A sipper style of drink but still not too heavy. A lot of flavours but not hard to understand. Just a banger of a drink. Order it!”
