Scandinavian Daiquiri
A caraway-influenced riff on a daiquiri with aquavit replacing rum. Refreshing and suited to a summer's afternoon or an early evening aperitif

Had some aquavit left, so I tried this one. Pretty nice cocktail. I would put a little less lime juice (guess depends on lime itself) or try use brown sugar syrup.

This is so good - used the Bivrost Arctic Aquavit ( made with star anise and coriander amongst others) and the star anise float was perfect.
Daiquiri with extra.
Need to try with slightly less sugar next time but will coming back for this.

My akevitt was mostly anise forward but the drink was still very nice, smooth and quaffable

Very nice. We knocked back the syrup a little and added your Daiquiri Bitters. And i can thoroughly recommend Bivrost aquavit. Will be making again!

Great call. Thanks, Guy. I've added Daiquiri Bitters above.

Well received at the the traditional Christmas lunch party (julefrokost) at my work here in Copenhagen - to be repeated!
