'''Akvavit''', also known as '''aquavit''' or '''akevitt''', is a Scandinavian distilled [[:Category:Beverages|beverage]] of typically about 40% alcohol by volume, while the European Union sets a minimum of 37.5% [[alcohol]] by volume. Its name comes from ''aqua vitae'', the Latin for "water of life".
===Ingredients===
Akvavit, like [[vodka]], is distilled from either [[potato]] or grain. It is flavoured with herbs such as [[caraway]] seeds, [[anise]], [[dill]], [[fennel]], [[coriander]], and [[grains of paradise]]. The Danish distillery Aalborg makes an akvavit distilled with amber. The recipe and flavours differ between brands, but typically caraway is the dominating flavour. Akvavit usually has a yellowish hue, but can vary from clear to light brown, depending on how long it has been aged in oak casks. Normally, darker colour suggests higher age or the use of young casks.
