📜 History

Cranberry is a natural match for aquavit: both carry a tartness that cuts through richness, and cranberry's berry sweetness softens the spirit's herbal edge. The combination became popular in Scandinavian-inspired cocktail menus across the United States during the 2010s as craft aquavit producers looked for approachable serves that would resonate with vodka drinkers.
