Otto’s Sour

This gorgeously floral and spicy drink is built like a classic New York sour, with a float of red wine on top and aquavit in place of whiskey. The caraway flavor in many aquavits can be overpowering in cocktails, but Linie aquavit, aged in wood in the holds of ships, has a much rounder, mellower caraway flavor. "The Linie also has a nice woodsy quality," Boelte said, "and that's where the nutmeg comes in, of course."
