When the snow’s piled high and the mercury is low in the thermometer, Aquavit – Private Reserve is the spirit we frequently reach for. Its spices are rich, warm and savory, just the thing on a chilly evening. In this cocktail, the sweet spice notes in the honey play beautifully with those savory spices and makes the long winter nights a little easier.
