"AQUAVIT" Denmark Warnings Or Dangers Tip by mtncorg

Aquavit = Water of life. Maybe not exactly true, it is a apertif of Danish extraction. The best versions are called 'linieaquavit' meaning that the aquavit has fermented in the hull of a ship long enough to get to the equator and back. Hell, if it was good enough for Madiera, it should sure as heck work for aquavit? Aquavit is distilled from caraway seed and has a definite rye taste - though in Norway, aquavit seems to be distilled from whatever is on hand, hell, as long as it kicks you on your ass!! Aquavit tastes best chilled=out of the freezer much like vodka. You can mix it if you are a wimp, but if you are of true Viking mold, you will down it straight. Just be carefull of getting 'Sweded'!!
