📜 History
The Copenhagen Cocktail won a 2009 competition sponsored by Cherry Heering to create a signature drink for the Danish capital. Created by bartender Gromit Eduardsen at Bar 1105 in Copenhagen, this modern classic pairs genever with the iconic Danish cherry liqueur in a bright, fruity sour. The drink showcases the best of Danish cocktail culture.
