UPDATE 7/15/13: a representative from Karlsson’s contacted me the day this posting went live to tell me about Anchor Distilling acquiring Karlsson’s and taking over distribution, marketing, etc. for the vodka as of July 1. Since Karlsson’s was the company who was going to send out the prize pack for this giveaway, that has also been turned over to Anchor as well.
Both Karlsson’s and I have made multiple attempts to contact Anchor Distilling to ask about continuing with the giveaway on this post and their sponsorship of Simple Cocktails, and Anchor Distilling has remained non-responsive to both emails and calls. I’m sorry, guys, I have to pull the plug on the giveaway since I can no longer find a representative of the brand who has access to this swag. I’ll close the comments and email each entrant this info, and hope to have another contest on the blog soon. Thanks for understanding!
My favorite way to drink Karlsson’s -and vodka in general-is in a White Russian w/ Kahlua.
1 1/2 oz. Karlssons Vodka
1/2 oz. Black pepper infused simple syrup
1/2 oz. lime juice
1 egg white
3 basil leaves
Black pepper
Take into mixing glass: simple syrup, lime juice, egg white and basil leaves, lightly muddle to not bitter the basil. Add ice then vodka. Shake & fine strain into chilled martini glass, garnish with fresh cracked pepper and small basil sprig.
flavor contrast is amazing and egg white adds a beautiful pillowed top that suspends the fresh cracked pepper and basil sprig. Cheers!!!
On the rocks
I’d love to win that very cool swag!
