The book addresses akvavit alongside Nordic cocktails and Scandinavian cocktail culture more broadly, drawing on input from a range of bartenders and treating the ingredients, history and cultural influences of the spirit, together with consideration of its future. The authors situate akvavit within its familiar setting of Christmas lunches and holiday gatherings before turning to the ways it has been taken up by the cocktail culture that has spread across Scandinavia, and to its reframing within the context of the new Nordic cuisine and Scandinavian cultural heritage. The volume was edited by Bjorn Ortmann and illustrated by Matilde Digmann. Text is in English. Seller Inventory # AOA-240115-shelf-18-e

Compiled with input from other bartenders, the volume addresses akvavit alongside Nordic cocktails and Scandinavian cocktail culture more broadly, examining the ingredients, history and cultural influences of the spirit together with glimpses into its future. Interviews with producers and bartenders explore the character of caraway and dill, a historical section situates akvavit within a wider European context, and a further sequence considers older Scandinavian kitchen techniques as a basis for contemporary practice. The authors frame the project against akvavit's familiar association with Christmas lunches and family gatherings, setting out instead its place within a modern cocktail culture drawing on new Nordic cuisine.
