ULLR Nordic Libation is a peppermint and cinnamon schnapps liqueur from Hood River Distillers in Oregon, bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof).
It is named for Ullr, the Norse god of snow and skiing, the one skiers pray to for a powder day.
The unique combination of peppermint and cinnamon encapsulates the winter sports experience.
Clear as melted snow, it starts out with a bracing peppermint flavour but melts into a warm cinnamon finish.
The label carries a snow-capped mountain and a 'Pray for Snow' neck seal, a nod to its home in the mountain town of Hood River, Oregon.

How to Enjoy It
ULLR really shines served ice cold and straight up, preferably right out of the snow, so keep the bottle in the freezer for ski-lodge shots. It is also delicious in hot chocolate topped with whipped cream, in coffee or cold brew, or on the rocks. Add a splash to an espresso martini for a minty twist, shake it with cream and chocolate liqueur for a peppermint patty, or top it with ginger beer for a winter mule. It is a natural après-ski pour after a day on the slopes, and a festive addition to a holiday party. Pair it with chocolate brownies, gingerbread, peppermint bark, chocolate-dipped pretzels and holiday cookies. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays. Store it upright in a cool place.
