The world’s first pop-up bar on a glacier is being built in the Arctic Circle. Reyka Vodka, the only vodka distillery in Iceland, are now in the process of opening the first ever pop-up cocktail bar on an Icelandic glacier.
The official opening is on 17 October, when a few specially chosen travellers will make their way up north to experience this drink of a lifetime.
The Reyka Vodka Glacier Bar will be located 1,931km north at 64.565653°N -20.024822°W, on top of the Langjökull Glacier.
Those who applied and were chosen through an interview process with the distillery will be able to try the unique vodka in signature cocktails like the ‘Puffin Collins’ and ‘Icelandic Mule’ at this unique location.
Iceland is known as the ‘land of fire and ice’ because of it’s massive glaciers and active volcanoes, the distillery uses these elements when making it’s small batch vodka.
It uses Arctic spring water from the glaciers and filters the spirit through lava rocks, which takes six hours from start to finish. The distillery is also eco-friendly and is powered by steam generated from the geothermal hot springs.
Although they have already chosen all the participants, those who are keen to go onto the waiting list can still apply for an interview with the distillery’s ambassador.
