Drink These 4 Swedish Drinks to Celebrate Eurovision 2024
Eurovision 2024 is upon us. And here at Smartblend we are huge fans. So much so that we’ve spoke about Eurovision a lot. Especially when it comes to drinks. But we are yet to dedicate a whole article to just 1 country. Until now.
As Eurovision is being hosted by Sweden this year at the Malmö Arena, we thought it would be a great idea to celebrate Sweden with some drinks. So here are 4 of our top choices.

Aquavit, the Nordic spirit slowly gaining popularity through the UK and Globally. From our drink cabinets to our cocktails. Which begs the question - what exactly is this Scandinavian spirit? How is it made? Where does it come from? Well in this ultimate guide to aquavit, you will learn everything about it.
Simply put, Aquavit is a Swedish spirit similiar to gin but instead of being Juniper flavoured - It’s caraway seed flavoured.
I also recommend using it like you would gin, for example you could have Aquavit and tonic, Aquavit Collins or aquavit and elderflower cocktails.
For more about aquavit, what it is and how to drink it, check out this guide here.
Swedish Cocktails for Eurovision and Beyond
Now, let's dive into the heart of the matter—the cocktails!
Out first Swedish themed cocktail is this mix of raspberry and liquorice schnapps, Swedish vodka, lemon juice, apple juice and Swedish lingonberry jam. Shaken, served, and garnished with licorice allsorts! Perfect for kick starting your Eurovision night and the perfect homage to Sweden.

This next cocktail is both a little bit Swedish and a little bit Spanish. It’s basically an Espresso Martini with a Swedish salted caramel schnapps garnished with a Daim bar. Super easy to make, delicious and fun. It’s the perfect cocktail to keep you nice and caffeinated throughout the entire Eurovision show and perfect for sipping with some drinking games.
