Andreas Viestad'S Mock Aquavit

Andreas Viestad'S Mock Aquavit


1. Open the vodka bottle, add all the remaining ingredients, and cover tightly.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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).

5. Note: some people prefer non-potato vodka – use whatever you like.
