Introducing Tollgard Cocktail Hour: Italian Classics

Join us on this new journey across cultures and continents.

Welcome to Tollgard Cocktail hour!

Over the last twenty-something years, Monique and Staffan Tollgård have travelled all over the world, exploring a wealth of inspiration, inspiring cultures, and great design along the way. En route, they have also discovered some amazing cocktails – and as part of this new series, they will be sharing their favourite drinks and the memories they hold.

Beginning in Italy with  Monique’s favourite Italian cocktail, Aperol Spritz – which can only be described as sunshine in a glass. Staffan follows up by creating a true Italian classic – Negroni.
