I used St George's Dry Rye gin in lieu of aquavit, worked out pretty well! interesting flavor profile, my guess is an aquavit wouldn't be quite so overpowering but I've never actually tried the spirit yet

Excellent cocktail. I used a mellow aquavit, Lysholm Line aquavit matured in sherry casks, and a not so smoky Johnny Walker Black Label whiskey.
