It’s no secret that I have a major Arne Jacobsen design crush!
So today’s image includes one of my favourite Copenhagen buildings and my Christmas wish list Jacobsen designedStelton A/S cocktail shaker.
I’ve heard talk that there was at one time an AJ cocktail served in the bar of the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Copenhagen
Does anyone know the ingredients?

Does anyone know why cardamom is so prevalent in Danish Christmas cookery?
