PapaKåta – The Cocktail!
We’re so excited to announce the creation of our very own PapaKåta Cocktail, courtesy of our friends at Spiritus. Taking inspiration from the Scandinavian origins of our Giant Hat Kata teepees, Spiritus have created a Vodka fruit fusion – the perfect accessory to get your PapaKåta Party started and to ensure you have a fabulous night of celebrations under the canvas of our giant teepees – All the best parties happen in a PapaKåta tent!
Here Sam Martin of Spiritus tells us how this very special and unique cocktail came about and how you too can create your own PapaKåta Cocktail…
My thinking behind the drink was to create something rustic, with a Scandinavian feel in keeping with the PapaKåta ethos and the heritage of the teepees, but also to take inspiration from current trends. To break down my thinking behind the ingredients, I wanted to create something that involved vodka (a common spirit in Scandanavia), but also had a lot of fruit in it, as fruit soup is an extremely popular meal in Scandinavia. Beer is also a very popular drink there and using it in a cocktail is very on trend with current drinking culture. The drink has used a vanilla infused Absolut vodka mixed with fresh raspberries and apricot brandy to add the fruit aspect of the drink. The stout has been used to add a bitterness to the flavour and a thickness to the texture, and was balanced by the sweetness of the fruit and sugar syrup. Serving the drink in a Jam Jar gives the drink a rustic/vintage feel as this was a common vessel used during the prohibition era in the country.
