Sandberg Drinks Lab, Anders Sandberg, Stockholm
Anders has worked for over 17 years in the bar industry and almost four years ago, the drinks lab was born after a long period of creative producing in the Pharmarium bar. The first product that still is available in the range is a very popular one – The Enhanced Tonic Syrup – flavoured with camomile, vanilla and aloê vera.
The fundamental idea is to promote and to offer premium alternatives in the existing segment in non-alcoholic beverages, both in restaurants and in shops. It should taste good and feel luxurious to drink non-alcoholic alternatives.
The latest addition in store consists of a series of Cordials rooted in unique local flavor-combinations with a slightly lower sugar-content. They go very well with sparkling wine – mix it 1 + 2 – serve over ice in wine glasses.
Perfect in spritzes and Highballs and can also be mixed in bubbly mineral water for non-alcoholic varieties.
These are adult, complex flavors made from real fruit, accompanied by a balanced acidity that makes it lift and is also excellent together with a meal.

Non alcoholic Bitter Apértif
Sweden’s first non-alcoholic Bitter of its kind. 500 ml. of bittersweet tones.
Here, berries have been matched with herbs, bark, pepper and Swedish Verjus. The result is a lively and juicy bitter that goes well with No & Lo-drinks; i.e. drinks with less or completely without alcohol. The purpose is to be able to enjoy a good drink when “I do not drink” or when you want to “drink moderately”. It goes excellent with snacks, as an apéritif, in drinks and as a spritz, with or without alcohol.
The recipe gravitates around fresh raspberries, red currants and zesty grapefruit that interact with, amongst other things, wild pepper, wormwood, gentian and verjus.
