A caraway-influenced riff on a daiquiri with aquavit replacing rum. Refreshing and suited to a summer's afternoon or an early evening aperitif.
History:
Adapted from a 2015 recipe by Kyle Webster at Expatriate, Portland, Oregon, USA. Kyles's original recipe of 2 aquavit, 1 lime juice and ¾ simple syrup (1:1) made from palm sugar.
