How to use akvavit (aquavit) in a cocktail? Make a Scandinavian Martini

Learn how to use akvavit (Aquavit) to make a Teakwood Tavern original cocktail, a Scandinavian Martini. Akvavit (or aquavit) is a Scandinavian liquor that should be on everyone’s home bar. In general, it is a neutral spirit that is distilled from either grain or potatoes. After distillation, the base spirit is always flavored with caraway. That is the hallmark flavors of all akvavits. Beyond caraway, akvavits are flavored with dill, anise, coriander, cardamom, fennel, cumin, and citrus peel. In short, it’s a savory flavor-bomb that is wonderful as a base spirit in cocktails. However, you won’t find akvavit in most classic cocktail books, which is crazy since the first written record of akvavit occurred in 1531. Back then, Danish Lord Eske Bille of Bergenhus Caste wrote a letter to the Norwegian bishop Olav Engelbrektsson and included a spiced-liquor with medicinal powers. Yet, even with almost 500 years of existence, akvavit has generally been drunk neat, often with a beer chaser. Cocktails were an afterthought. Luckily for you, that has changed over the past ten plus years. Top cocktail bars have embraced akvavit and you should too.
