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.

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.

CHRISTER LARSSON'S SPICED AQUAVIT



Christer Larsson's Spiced Aquavit image

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.

Yield Makes 33 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 navel orange
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
3 whole star anise*
a 1-liter bottle Absolut vodka
*available at specialty foods shops and Asian markets and by mail order from Adriana's Caravan, tel. (800) 316-0820

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.
