ANDREAS VIESTAD'S MOCK AQUAVIT



Andreas Viestad's Mock Aquavit image

It's often difficult to find aquavit here in the liquor stores of the United States. So if you have a hankering for that potent liquor, here's a substitute for you. :) You can experiment with all sorts of flavors, not just caraway. Recipe adapted from "Kitchen of Light: New Scandinavian Cooking with Andreas Viestad" by Andres Viestad. Prep time includes infusion.

Categories     Beverages

Time P14D

Yield 1 liter

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons caraway seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seed
2 teaspoons dill seeds
2 star anise
1 tablespoon coriander seed
1 whole clove
1 cinnamon stick, 1-inch long (optional)
2 teaspoons cumin seeds (optional)
1 liter potato vodka

Steps:

  • Open the vodka bottle, add all the remaining ingredients, and cover tightly.
  • Let stand in a cool, dark place for 2 to 3 weeks, shaking every 3 or 4 days - how long you let it sit depends on how strong you want it, so taste it after 2 weeks to see if you want to let it go longer.
  • When it's as strong as you'd like, strain the solids through a sieve and discard them, then transfer the aquavit back into the bottle.
  • To serve: place your aquavit in the freezer until chilled and you can also place your 1 ounce tall glasses in the refrigerator until chilled - then serve (ask your Scandinavian friends about toasting practices with aquavit, as it can be rather complicated).
  • Note: some people prefer non-potato vodka - use whatever you like.

15 AQUAVIT TWISTS ON CLASSIC COCKTAILS | OUTSIDE THE WINE BOX

  • Aquavit Bloody Mary. For an even savorier, spicier Bloody Mary, swap out vodka for aquavit! This Scandinavian twist on the classic brunch cocktail has a sharper herbal flavor that pairs wonderfully with the tomato juice and other spices and herbs.
  • Aquavit Sour. Sours are typically made with 2 parts spirit, 1 part acid, 1 part sweet, and sometimes egg white. This recipe follows this template closely, and uses aquavit as the main spirit for a more herbaceous spin on a sour.
  • Nordic Mule. In the Nordic Mule, aquavit is used in place of vodka for a more complex and herbaceous flavor profile. The spiciness of the ginger beer and tartness of the lime juice pair perfectly with the aquavit.
  • Dirty Aquavit Martini. If you're a fan of dirty martinis, you'll love this variation made with aquavit instead of gin or vodka! The classic dirty martini is a martini with the addition of olive brine or olive bitters.
  • Scandinavian Negroni. This twist on the classic Italian cocktail packs a punch of Nordic flavor by replacing gin with aquavit. The spicy, herbal notes of aquavit blend wonderfully with the bittersweet Campari and botanical notes of the sweet vermouth, resulting in a complex, bold, and sophisticated drink.
