Bartender Kyle Webster created this drink during his time at House Spirits, the Portland distillery behind Krogstad Aquavit, and brought it to the opening menu at Expatriate bar in 2015. By replacing rum with aquavit in the three-ingredient Daiquiri framework, Webster produced a cocktail that introduces newcomers to Scandinavian spirits through a familiar and approachable format. The recipe has since appeared in Imbibe Magazine and Difford's Guide.
