Blueberries, rye & sourmilk are quintessential Finnish flavours
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.

Blueberries, rye & sourmilk. Those are some quintessential Finnish flavours and they make up this summery Nordic drink.
“Mustikkakukko” Blueberries, rye & sourmilk 1 cocktail
4 cl rye whiskey
4 tbs fresh blueberries
8 cl sour milk
2 cl barley malt syrup (brödsirap)
2 cl freshly squeezed lemon juice
Measure whiskey and bilberries into a cocktail shaker. Crush the bilberries. Add all the other ingredients and ice. Shake until cold and pour through a double sieve into a highball glass. Finish with ice and garnish with fresh blueberries.
