Finlandia Vodka With a history which dates back to 1970, Finlandia stands by its tradition of over 50 years old. Whilst Finland has a short growing season, it is also a land where the sun can shine at midnight - and does so for 72 days! In this way, the golden suomi (finnish) barley grows and ripens where less hardy variants would not. This barley, and pure glacial spring water (which give its clarity and smoothness) are part of the secret behind Finlandia. Being born and created under the midnight sun in the north of finland this vodka truly embodies the Finnish spirit of living in harmony with nature by using it's finest ingredients. The resulting Vodka has a gentle aroma and is dry, with a light and smooth taste. Finnish simplicity!

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour 40ml of Finlandia, 10ml Sugar Syrup and 40ml of Espresso. Shake vigorously, and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with 3 coffee beans.
