Comments

<br />A surprisingly pleasant drink, one that goes down easily in a hot, late afternoon, just before dinner, or one to drink at a barbeque. I used an Aquivit by Linie, not North Shore. I have little experience with Aquivits to know if there is much difference between Linie and North Shore. Regardless, I recommend this drink to those who like Aquivit. Dolin vermouth is one of my favorites vermouths (it is in the $16 range), and I recommend the Dolin vermouths heartily. My only suggestion for this drink is to use a skinny 1/2 oz Galliano. A full 1/2 oz of Galliano tends to overwhelm the other ingredients and make for a drink that some may find too sweet. Other than that, make and enjoy!


Adjusted to suit my tastes: 1.5 oz Ahus Akvavit (didn't have North Shore and wanted more base spirit), 1 oz Comoz vermouth (to reduce the sweetness from blanc), 1/2 Galliano L'Autentico (at the end of the bottle and has lost some punch), 2 ds B.T. celery bitters. This made for a nice combo of richer white grape, and herbal from caraway/celery/anise, with some vanilla to round it out. With my adjustments I would give it 3.5/5--worth coming back to when in the mood.
