How To Throw The Perfect Eurovision Party

 
It’s officially the silly season- we've had the MET gala, the King’s Coronation is this weekend, and best of all - the one, the only, EUROVISION is only days away.

This year held in Liverpool, right here in the UK, so even more reason to celebrate.

The BEST excuse to throw a party with friends, drink to toast your favourite performers and enjoy the bants of Graham Norton. Don those sequins, grab your dancing queens, and get that ABBA jumpsuit down from the loft….all you need now is the perfect shots for your drinking games to accompany a night of fun.

Read on for how to make sure there are a lorra lorra laughs at your Eurosoiree with delicious and indulgent shots from a brand new Swedish vodka schnapps, mixed up by one of Manchester’s mixologists.

Flävar breaks the ice and brings the party:
Need something unique and delicious for your guests? No more dragging out that old bottle of schnapps at the back of the cupboard when there's a lull in festivities - it is time to make schnapps the star of the show. Revellers all over the UK are loving the retro refresh of this glamorous liquid.

Made with some of the freshest water in the world, expertly crafted on the shores of beautiful Lake Boren in Southern Sweden, this is a seriously smooth and stylish liquid encased in vivid designs and with a bottleneck proudly emblazoned with the Swedish flag. The secret to the great taste is vodka mixed with deliciously indulgent flavours: this is a clear, crisp mouth-watering schnapps - made for good times, for those with good taste, and lovers of delicious desserts too.

Flävar Blueberry & Lemon (25% abv)
This is the newest addition to the range, which has been shaking up the shot market all over the country in pubs and bars, a shot to be savoured and enjoyed, inspired by popular Swedish desserts and sweet treats. The combination of citrus and sweet is a delectable combination which works equally well as a post-dinner drink too.


Flävar Strawberry & Lime (25% abv)
Did you know that Sweden has some of the most succulent strawberries in the world? Candy-sweet and full of flavour, mixing the berries with zesty lime takes this liquid to a whole new level of Flävar.

Flävar Salted Caramel (25% abv)
The beloved classic: the smooth, moreish, sweet and salty sensation that shouldn’t work, but it really does! Perfect for Winter gatherings, this mouth-watering favourite is a treat, and the ultimate cocktail ingredient in Christmas Martinis. It even tastes delicious poured into a hot chocolate - yum!

Flavar has worked with Mancunian Mixologist Cameron Fielding aka Smartblend, a cocktail connoisseur that’s worked with bars such as Sushi Samba on some epic cocktail shots.

Founder Rolf Munding says:
“Anyone brought up in Scandinavia and Germany will know Schnapps as it was a huge part of our drinking culture. I have very fond memories of the Schnapps drinking songs we used to sing back in the early 70s! The unique flavour of Schnapps makes me think of some great times, as I am sure it does for many other people too, and Flävar is inspired by this retro drinking experience mixed with the UK's thirst for dessert-style flavours.”


Originality, individuality and a little bit of indulgence is at the heart of every bottle: this is a schnapps to show off. So long Granny’s Cocktail Cabinet, it’s time for Schnapps to shine! Skål! (Swedish for cheers)
