Rosehip Aquavit
Aquavit, derived from the Latin “aqua vitae” or “water of life,” first gained popularity in 15th century Scandinavia, where it’s been a traditional accompaniment to a smorgasbord. The flavorful infusions gained popularity in the cool Nordic climate, which allows easy chilling of them in a snow bank or out in the woodshed. Swedes have popularly quipped that aquavit helps fish dishes like pickled herring and lutefisk swim down to the stomach. Skål!
