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.

CHRISTER LARSSON'S SPICED AQUAVIT
Christer Larsson originally came to prominence on Manhattan's culinary scene -appropriately enough for this recipe -as executive chef of Aquavit, one of the first New York restaurants in decades to feature Scandinavian cuisine. Mr. Larsson is now chef and co-owner of Christer's, where the menu reflects both his Scandinavian roots and the melting pot that is New York City.

Steps:
- Wash and dry orange. Beginning at 1 end, with a vegetable peeler carefully remove a long strip of zest in a spiral from half of orange and add with spices to bottle of vodka. Let vodka stand at room temperature 3 days. Freeze aquavit in bottle at least 8 hours, or until ice-cold, and up to 3 days. (Because of its high alcohol content, aquavit will remain liquid.)
- Pour aquavit into a decanter and serve ice-cold.
