aquavit
Scandinavian caraway liquor
Aquavit is a Scandinavian spirit distilled from grain or potatoes and flavored with caraway or dill.
It's traditionally served chilled in small glasses, often accompanying pickled herring or other Nordic foods: We toasted with aquavit at the midsummer celebration.
Also spelled akvavit.
