In Sweden, home cooks make aquavit by infusing a clear spirit distilled from grain or potatoes with an infinite variety of spices, herbs, and other flavorful botanicals. Restaurant Aquavit in New York City makes their signature aquavit with white cranberry and caraway. Its fruity, faintly herbal flavor makes a wonderful accent to sweet cocktails like this refreshing take on a Cosmopolitan.
