A Bornholm dram - over 100 years old - originally in the "no recipe left behind" category. Police officer Axel Nibe from Nexø kept an eye on it all in 1909, but only revealed the story in 1964: "Firewood merchant and ship chandler H. S. Munch produced "ejn søder sup", which gave its name to the refreshment breaks during the ships' hauling at the slipway. When the slide was smeared with soap, the thirsty throats also got their "blødda", hence the name sevablødda, which is Bornholmian and means to soften soap. The content is composed of many equal parts delicate liquor, and "Dænj ska drikkes te enj kanj saj Sevablødda ræjtit. When you can't saj'ed anymore, you shouldn't drink it."

Aroma: Spicy cinnamon, cherry and a hint of clove.

Color: Deep, heavy and golden.

Sevablødda - how should it be enjoyed and served?

A traditional cherry dram from Bornholm should, in most people's opinion, be enjoyed as it is. Simple and only in its own form. But not everyone is as hardy as the old fishermen on the rocky island. At Bornholmspirits, we have developed a cocktail that uses Sevablødda. The recipe follows:

• 4 cl. Sevablødda
• 12 cl. Gingerbeer
• Lime juice

Method: Pour the Sevablødda into a glass with ice cubes and fill with Ginger Beer. Squeeze a little lime into the glass. Garnish with lime. See many of our other great recipes by clicking here. We use schnapps, vodka and much more. Cocktails are okay to experiment with, as are our many different schnapps.
