This Christmas my husband was gifted a bottle of a very unique sprit, Carlshamns Flaggpunsch Swedish Punsch. Which I hear is typically consumed straight. And, although my husband and most Swedes might not have an issue consuming it neat. I took it upon myself (since what’s his is mine, and what is mine is mine) to whip up something that would be more appealing to my pallet.
Think of this cocktail as a twist on a Hot Buttered Rum with a heavier spice note. It’s guaranteed to warm you up!

Sounds delicious, most self respecting swedes have quite a capacity for neat spirits, but I’m sure they’d compromise for this. GG
Where can I buy Carlshamns Flagg Punsch?
Will I find it in stores in Philadelphia?
Hi Leif,
Unfortunately, I don’t believe it is currently available in the US. Mine was a gift from a Swedish friend who was visiting the US.
