Aquavit, or akvavit, is the caraway-scented spirit of Scandinavia, distilled from grain or potato and flavored with caraway or dill plus botanicals like fennel, anise, coriander and citrus peel. It has been the toast of Nordic tables since the 15th century, served ice-cold in small glasses with herring, gravlax and holiday feasts, and it is having a moment in American cocktail bars as a savory alternative to gin. Chips Liquor carries the Danish and Norwegian classics like Aalborg and Linie, whose casks cross the equator twice at sea, along with the new wave of American craft aquavits from Krogstad in Oregon, Norden in Michigan, Svol in Brooklyn and Geijer in California. Serve it chilled with a Scandinavian spread, or use it in a Bloody Mary, an aquavit sour or a Nordic martini. Shop aquavit at Chips Liquor with fast shipping.
