Blueberries, rye & sourmilk are quintessential Finnish flavours

“Mustikkakukko” is a rye crusted blueberry pie originating from the Northern Savonia area in Finland where my family is from. This drink with blueberries, rye & sourmilk was actually the very first drink I designed for a cocktail menu in the first bar I worked in 2012 and it has followed me in many forms ever since.
