Far from terrible, but on the given proportions the Suze completely overpowered the more delicate aquavit. I may try it again with different ratios, but as it is I am not a fan.

Like you, I find Suze overpowers a lot of drinks, but dialing it back to 2/3rds the amount called for, it was quite enjoyable.

Just made it with 2cl Suze Gentian Liqueur and 2.5cl of Akquavit, and added fresh Dill to the shake aswell as for the garnish, AWESOME!
