Oh my this tastes like a home made chocolate orange cake - all the flavours but without the extra sickly sweetness added to make it sell.
The Aquavit superbly balances out the other ingredients - the caraway is there but in the background the orange and chocolate hand in hand.

I use Bobs Mole bitters so a touch of spice there too.
All in all a right champion drink.

This has to be one of the weirder sets of ingredient combinations I have had on this site but it just works. Sweet coffee, spiced orange, and a hint of caraway doesn't sound like it should be good but it is.

Just as an added note, if you’re running low on Aperol, which I often am in the summer, Amaro de Toscana makes a very suitable substitute. It changes the profile, adding a more earthy, anise footing but entirely enjoyable.

Very good balance—the caraway in the Aquavit is an excellent pair with the coffee and Aperol. Entirely drinkable, afternoon or after dinner.

Fruity, yet balanced and well-weighted with just enough spirituous bite. Rum acts as a base while gin lightens and lifts.
