Get ready for summer parties and game nights by barhopping in your very own home! Let SKÖNA design a bar unit that is customized to your needs…to engage and entertain guests and enjoy a solo beverage during your quiet downtime.
Some essential components for a functional bar are a beverage fridge, a small sink for washing up, a decent-sized countertop for prepping and upper cabinets or shelves to store glassware.
Whip up refreshing drinks to quench your thirst as the weather starts to heat up. Why not try our signature drink…a granita made with Lingonberry, the most iconic Nordic fruit. We call it the ‘SKÖNITA’.
Here’s the simple recipe. Enjoy!
SKÖNITA
4 cups lingonberries
¼ cup orange juice (to balance the tart/bitter notes of the berries)
1/8 cup vodka, rum, or champagne
¼ – 1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Whiz up the fruit. In a blender or food processor, purée all ingredients until it’s the consistency of a smoothie. Add a few tablespoons of orange juice or water if the mixture is dry.
- Freeze in a flash. Pour the fruit purée into a shallow metal 9”x13” pan. Freeze the granita for 30 to 45 minutes, until it’s just started to freeze on the top and sides of the pan.
- Fork the granita. Scrape the partially frozen granita by dragging the tines of a fork across the top to break the frozen parts into small crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for a total of 4 hours.
- Freeze again before serving. Return the granita pan to the freezer. The granita is ready when completely frozen and appears dry and flaky in texture.
Enjoy SKÖNITA…
- Scooped into cups garnished with mint.
- With a dollop of whipped cream.
- Spooned over yogurt for breakfast.
- Top freshly grilled pineapple, watermelon or peaches with the frozen mixture.
- Serve with a little pitcher of tequila for pouring over at the last minute.
