The Falling Night Cocktail Recipe & History Behind it
Deep inside the Valleys of Iceland on a magnificent night, was a group of Vikings battling their hearts out.
Swords were clashing and horns were being blown and suddenly the sun came down…
" The Falling Night "
What happened next ?
As the warriors were battling, the name of Odin they were calling ” We are coming ! ” they said
It was a tough bout and the Vikings souls were slowly coming out. There was only one direction…
The Halls of Valhalla ! Where warriors rejoice and dine with the gods.
With drinks in their hands you can hear them shouting ” Sköl ! “
Are you brave enough to taste the drink they had that very night ?
Ingredients
40 ml ( 1.33 oz ) White Rum
30 ml ( 1 oz ) Kiwi Liqueur
10 ml ( 0.33 oz ) Chocolate Liqueur
Half a kiwi sliced up
Top up : Soda Water
Garnish : Kiwi Slice & Chocolate Sprinkles
How to make it
- Drop some kiwi slices into the Waterdrop Diamond Mixing Glass then pour in the White Rum & Kiwi Liqueur using the Classic Liquid Pourer
- Muddle the Kiwi using the Thin Mid Muddler
- Add in some ice cubes with the Stainless Steel Ice Scoop & Stir the mix well using the Classic Bar Spoon
- Strain the cocktail into the Mountains Glass using the Skol Hawthorne Strainer
- Top up the glass with Soda Water.
- Add a final touch of Chocolate Liqueur using the Jigger Cup

Terviseks !
Double / Fine Straining : Whenever you are doing a cocktail with muddled fruits such as the Kiwi in this example or other fruits that crumble into very small pieces you should always consider fine straining the end mix.
Fine straining means whilst you are using your Cobbler Shaker’s built in strainer or your Boston Shaker with a Hawthorne Strainer on top, you’ll also want to use a Fine Mesh Strainer at the same time to filter out those small bits and pieces from your drink ( The process is called Double Straining )
If you’re making the cocktail for yourself there’s always personal preference such as the example here where we chose to keep the messiness of the Kiwi inside the cocktail instead of Fine Straining. It’s up to you after all !
