Alcohol
The water of Greenland comes directly from the ice cap, where it has been frozen and preserved in perfect purity for more than 100.000 years. This water is not only bottled and exported for sale in high-class restaurants in Europe, North America and Dubai but is also used to distil first class alcohol and beer. In addition housewives all over the country have their own special immiak, or schnapps, made from Greenland’s water and herbs. Speaking of alcohol, you should treat yourself a glass of Greenlandic coffee while in Greenland. This alcoholic drink is a feast for both your palate and your eyes when it’s prepared over an open flame and beautifully completed with burning “northern lights”.
