THE HISTORY OF

Trondheim in a Glass

โ€œWhile museums may be one way to learn about Norwayโ€™s history, a more enjoyable experience can be found in the glass at Britannia Bar. Head bartender ร˜yvind Lindgjerdet spent months researching Norwayโ€™s historyโ€”even enlisting the help of three historiansโ€”to create spirited stories and correlating cocktails. The menu reads like a novella, and each of the six original libations highlights a key moment in Norwayโ€™s past. The drinks themselves, such as the Garden cocktailโ€”a concoction of aquavit, fortified wine, marigold flower, bitters, sugar, and limeโ€”exhibit balance and nuance. Somehow each sip comes quicker and quicker until thereโ€™s nothing left except the custom-shaped ice cubes, commissioned by Lindgjerdet, rattling around.โ€

โ€” Fortune Magazine


โ€œI wanted to dive into the history of both Trondheim and Britannia Hotel, which has been the cityโ€™s most influential meeting place for the past 150 years. This menu is alive, meaning we add new stories and cocktails over time.โ€

โ€” Head Bartender, ร˜yvind Lindgjerdet
