Notes
Thought I'd experiment a bit with the last bit of Italicus I had. Even though the aquavit is the the predominant spirit, I feel like you can taste the lemon and Italicus more. I like it, but don't love it and would be interested if anyone finds some improvements.
Curated to list as your original creation with year submitted. I am curious as to which aquavit you used. I tested with a 50:50 mix of Ahus (very tame, mild botanicals--easy transition for gin lovers) and Krogstad (assertive caraway and star anise). The profiles of aquavits are more divergent and assertive than typical London dry gins.
