If you are looking for a unique place to have a cocktail–and who isn’t–look no further than the Absolut Ice Bar, located in Stockholm’s Nordic Sea Hotel.

The bar, which features cocktails made from Absolut Vodka, is kept at an invigorating 23 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s so that the walls, furniture, wall decor, and drinking vessels don’t melt. They are all made of ice.

The Absolut Ice Bar is cozy, with just enough room for 30 guests. Reservations are recommended and admission includes a toasty silver cloak and your first cocktail. The bar is open all year and reservations are taken for 45 minute intervals. Call 46 8 50 56 31 24 to make a reservation.

Stockholm’s Absolut Ice Bar, which opened in 2002, is not the only Absolut Ice Bar. A location recently opened in Milan and plans are afoot for more of the icy bars.
