Tapas @ Exit


During one of our daytrips to Stockholm in Sweden, we were searching for a good tapas bar, and we found Exit lounge and bar located in the southern parts of the city. It's super easy to get there from the center of the city, I am guessing it will take you about 7 minutes to walk there from the subway station Stockholm Södra. The address is Götgatan 53, just type it into GoogleMaps, and you'll see how easy it is to get there.


They don't only serve tapas at Exit lounge and bar, but that's what we were in the mood for so that's what we got. And c'mon, after looking at the images, can you blame us?

We ordered Patatas Bravas, Fried potato wedges with some aioli and tomato salsa. Arranchinim, Breaded and fried mushroom risotto with truffle mayo, Västerbotten cheese. Carpaccio, which is Beef fillet with arugula, pine nuts, parmesan, and lemon. Gambas al ajillo, Sizzled prawns in garlic and chili. Bruschetta jambon serrano, Grilled bread with tomato, basil, olive oil, Serrano. Banderillas, Beef fillet skewers, and some more aioli. It all tasted amazing but the one thing that really got to me was the fried mushroom risotto, I have never tried that before but I am going to keep ordering it wherever I can find it, it truly is a new favorite of mine. Amazeballs! Just to top it off, we ordered a large pot of rose Sangria which was served with grapefruit, green apples, and cinnamon sticks.

Anyways, as we were checking out the menu I saw that they had a fresh grilled tuna, which is something that I have always enjoyed. My all-time favorite fish. I would love to go back and try that one out.


So if you find yourself wondering the streets of the southern Stockholm and are in the mood for some good tapas, I do recommend that you try out Exit lunge and bar.

Summery cocktails


Well, it ain't summer of you're not making some cocktails right?
Okay, the cocktails may not define the seasons, but there is a difference in what kind of drinks and cocktails I make throughout the year. I mean, not really in the mood for mulled wine in during the summers, and not really craving that ice-cold Bellini during the cold winter nighs, right? At least that's the way I feel. During the summers I tend to make fresh, light, and fruity cocktails and a lot of different sangrias, so I thought I would share some of them with you and hopefully get you inspired.


1. Apple sour with a twist

- Apple Sour
- White rum
- Soda
- Lemongrass
- Ice


2. Piggelin:

- Pear Popsicle
- 7-up
- Vodka

This is a Swedish cocktail, you put the popsicle in the drink for flavor and ice, super-tasty!


3. Pink Elderflower

- Elderflower liqueur
- Pink Grapefruit Juice
- Rum
- Ice


4. Red Wine Sangria with watermelon and raspberries

- A simple red wine
- Peachtree
- Juice with raspberries and watermelon
- Sprite
- Ice
- Oranges for decorations
(and hey, do you see the lurking tiger in the background, that's my baby, Ernst)


5. Pink Passion

- Add lots of ice
- Passoa passion fruit liqueur
- a splash of vodka
- top it up with 7-up
- Cherries as decoration

This is a super-fresh and simple cocktail to make. And yes, there is a sleeping cat in the background, it's Eddie. That kind of seems to be a thing right nog, don't it? The cats are photobombing us.


There you have it, five summery cocktails that you could easily make at home. And one thing I do recommend when you are making your special drink, make sure to give it some extra time for the decorations. Don't be afraid to go overboard, just go all in and make it as festive as possible. Make it pretty!

4 tips for great cocktails in Trosa


Oh yes, this was the guide you have all been waiting for huh?

Mhm, we may have had some cocktails, drinks, and wine on our trip, so I thought I would share some of my experiences with you. On where to go for live music and shots, the coziest place and the best Spritz. I am not going to add the address of the restaurants and bars, your all going to use GoogleMaps anyways so the names will do just fine, right?

Appel cider, Mojito and a glas of wine @ Fina Fisken.


Fina fisken

This was on the more fancy side with a somewhat younger crowd, but even though it's not regularly my first choice of place, I loved sitting there during the late evening when their garden was all lit up with candles and string lights. They had a good assortment of beers and ciders and a good variety of cocktails, and I was especially impressed by the fact that they had a Swedish dry-cider that I had not tried before, I like that!

Sour Cocktails and Hotshots @ Trosa Sjökrog.


Trosa Sjökrog


This was such a friendly place to visit, all of the staff that we encountered were really cheerful and friendly. They had some great sour cocktails, a good assortment of shots, and live music that you could hear from the streets. That's definitely a plus in book, music always draws me in. We ended up going back two days in a row, so I don't really have to tell you how much we appreciated this place, do I?

Jacob with a Moscow Mule, Hanna with a glass of wine, and me with an Aperol Spritz @ Bohamans.


Bohmans Hotel

To be completely honest, I loved sitting in their gardens having a cocktail, it was a beautiful place, but I have had a better Aperol Sprits. They did however have quite a lot of different places to sit at, all of them far from each other. And I do like their way of serving drinks though, they always served us beautiful cocktails.

They gain an extra plus too, for getting dog blankets and water bowls whenever they had guests that brought in their furry friends.

Coffee drinks, Aperol Spritz and a Gin and Tonic @ Ågården.


Ågården


Yeah, this was the place we stayed at during our weekend in Trosa, and I have to tell you this, they are not only a great hotel - they have by far the best Aperol Spritz. And don't even get me started on their coffee drinks, they were amazing! Sitting in their garden and having a drink, while watching all the people strolling along the canal, the boats that go by, it's such a calming way to have a drink.

If you're lucky, you'll be there on one of the nights that they have live music playing in their gardens. They did not have that when we visited but I saw on their social media that that's a recurrent thing, so maybe you'll get lucky and be there on just the right day.


I really hope that our recommendations will give you some pointers on where to go to find that magical summer cocktail whilst you are in Trosa, Sweden. Make sure to give us a shoutout if we have missed your favorite place, we will definitely be going back, we have already started checking out dates for our next return.

There are a few more recommendations coming up from our trip to Trosa, the beautiful seaport in Sweden, so stay tuned!
