The Village Smash pays tribute to one of the original cocktail categories from the 1800s, the smashes. They are essentially a sour flavoured with fresh mint. The taste of the drink is crispy and fresh. It feels like the clear and crisp character of Koskenkorva Vodka clarifies the flavours of fresh lemon and mint and lets them both shine in their own right.

This results in a crystal clear and articulate cocktail. The presentation with a tin mug creates an intriguing contrast of a fresh and perfectly executed classic cocktail and a rustic look and feel that associates perfectly to a run-down barn outlooking a barley field in the village of Koskenkorva.
