#constitutional day

Frozen Fjord

Aquavit (from the Latin Aqua  vitae - Water of life")  is the spirit of the Nordics. What whisky is to the Scots so Aquavit is to the Norwegians. It is a traditional -  produced since the 15th Century - Nordic alcoholic distilled spirit. Great for cocktails or on its own.

Linie  is the smoothest, richest aquavit you can sip. Distilled from  potatoes, with a robust caraway flavour, it's aged, per Norwegian law, in  oak. But the Oslo-based makers of Linie take it even  farther—literally—by sending their casks off in the holds of ships, on a  19-week voyage that crosses the equator twice.

Along the way, the  spirit sloshes around with the movement of the waves, and the  barrels—formerly used to store sherry—swell and contract in extremes of  heat and humidity, imparting the character of the wood and polishing the  flavor, so that the gold-hued liquor tastes rounder and nuttier. While  many aquavits overwhelm in cocktails, Linie mixes beautifully, providing  a layer of deep, warm, woody spice.

Here is a receipe I used to celebrate Norwegian Constituion Day (17 May) over the weekend.

1 oz aquavit ½ oz mezcal 1 tsp maraschino ⅓ oz campari 1 oz grapefruit 1 tsp simple syrup

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a coupe. Garnish with grapefruit peel (or you can use a dehydrated lime).

Gratulerer med dagen Norge. Hipp hipp hurra. Det er Norge i rød hvit og blått 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴

Gratulerer med dagen til landet jeg elsker så dypt!! 🇳🇴
