📜 History

Aquavit has been used as a warming remedy in Scandinavia since the 15th century, when the spirit was believed to have medicinal properties. The caraway and dill botanicals that define aquavit pair naturally with honey and citrus, making it a fitting base for a hot toddy. Distilleries across Norway, Sweden, and the United States now feature aquavit toddy recipes as a winter staple.
