Aquavit Recipes From Denmark
ANDREAS VIESTAD'S MOCK AQUAVIT
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.

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.

- Aquavit Is Especially Good for Caraway (and Dill) Lovers. If you believe nothing compares to a quality loaf of rye bread, chances are you’ll love aquavit.
- Aquavit Is the National Spirit of Scandinavia. Heading to Sweden, Norway or Denmark? It won’t be long before you’re presented with a glass of aquavit. Caraway has long been a common flavor in the region and was once considered a cure for indigestion.
- Aquavit Was Once Believed to Have Healing Powers. Aquavit is derived from the Latin aqua vitae, meaning “water of life.” The name comes from early distillers believing spirits to be a healing liquid, and the convention is shared by other liquors, such as the word whiskey stemming from Gaelic’s uisce beatha or brandy being referred to as eau-de-vie.
- You Can Toast Like a Viking with Aquavit. A common toast throughout the Nordic countries when celebrating, skol (also skål) is shouted right before downing aquavit.
- Aquavit Is a Bit of a Party Animal. Though aquavit is enjoyed year-round in Scandinavia, it’s especially prevalent during special occasions and holidays.
- Aquavit Varies Depending on the Region. The specific herbs and spices used to flavor aquavit are determined by local preference and cuisine. Swedish and Danish aquavit is usually distilled from grain, while Norwegian aquavit is traditionally made from potatoes.
- Norwegian Aquavit Is Well-Traveled. Denmark and Sweden consider aquavit a clear spirit, but in Norway, there’s a strong tradition of cask-aging. Norwegian aquavit matures in sherry oak casks that give the spirit a golden color and full-bodied character with hints of vanilla.
- Everyone Has a Signature Aquavit Drinking Style. Scandinavians take their aquavit neat, both straight from the freezer or sipped leisurely alongside a meal—it’s rarely served mixed.
- Aquavit Is Making a Splash in the States. Want to get your hands on a bottle? In addition to imported offerings like Norway’s Linie Aquavit and Denmark’s Aalborg Aquavit, domestic distillers are also starting to experiment with aquavit.
- You Can Make Your Own Aquavit at Home. It’s surprisingly easy to make aquavit at home, with no distillation needed. A useful starter recipe begins with vodka infused with caraway seeds, fresh dill, star anise, fennel seeds and lemon zest.
