	BBC - h2g2 - Aquavit - A411922
		Aquavit is a clear or pale yellow liquor, slightly above 40 percent alcohol and tastes mostly dry with a caraway flavor.
		Aquavit is popular in the scandinavian countries of Sweden, Norway and Denmark (these countries are the main producers), Finland (even if the finnish people mostly drink vodka) but is also consumed a lot in northern Germany.
		In Norway, aquavit is considered a must to a meal of lutefisk; some people say it is even more important to have aquavit than to have lutefisk.

	Epinions.com - Snaps for beginners
		The current official definition of Aquavit in use by the European Union dictates that the alcohol content should be at least 37.5%, and the typical figure is in the range of 40% - 45%.
		It is also reported that mothers used to put aquavit in the bottle of their baby children if they wanted them to stay calm and quiet during the night, for example.
		Where previously manufacture of aquavit had been the domain of several thousands of small-scale or even home-based distillers, in a few years manufacture was centralised to a few, large companies, the largest of which was a factory located in the provincial town of Aalborg.

		The birthplace of aquavit is in Scandinavia —; Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland — where it has a rich tradition and the Nordic firewater is still manufactured today.
		First brewed about 500 years ago, aquavit is one of the oldest spirits in the world and was used as a medicine for many decades.
		Aquavit starts with a pure grain alcohol that's diluted to about 42 percent when water is added.

		Aquavit (pronounced "AH-keh-veet" and sometimes spelled "akvavit") is a potato-based liquor, flavored with caraway.
		You'll find aquavit throughout Scandinavia, but the Norwegians make a special kind they call "linie aquavit." Linie (pronounced "LINN-yuh") is the Norwegian word for "line," referring, in this case, to the equator.

		Not a one comes close to describing the cuisine at Aquavit, the stylish clone of the highly rated New York spot, which opened in the IDS Center in December.
		Aquavit’s contemporary high-ceilinged interior matches clean lines and blond wood with small, unobtrusive touches--a built-in wine cabinet and a mirrored and curvaceous bar.
		The north-country fusion fare served at Aquavit is impressively sophisticated, artfully presented, and served with perceptible enthusiasm.

		After four years of visiting the better-known restaurants in the Twin Cities, we had yet been to Aquavit and we were anxious to give it a try.

		Tall, rail-thin, and ebony, Marcus Samuelsson, executive chef at New York City's Aquavit restaurant, has referred to himself as "the new face of Sweden." The Ethiopian-born Samuelsson, raised in Gothenberg by his adoptive parents, clearly represents the growing ethnic diversity in Sweden, where more than one in every eight citizens are first or second-generation newcomers.
		At Aquavit, he takes ingredients from the far corners of the world and uses them to give a new twist to the classic Swedish dishes.
		Eager to try one of the restaurantís flavored aquavits, I ordered a red currant aquavit as an appertif but found the fruit's tart flavor unfortunately overpowered by the strong taste of grain alcohol.

		Marcus started out by talking about Scandinavian cuisine, how it evolved, why he thought it wasn't more popular than it is, how he plans on changing that (sort of) and his basic approach to cooking, combining flavors, constructing dishes, etc. Our three course meal was going to be representative of his "New Scandinavian Cuisine".
		As a side note, I'd had brunch at Aquavit with Ben (who was taking this class with me) and I had dinner there once with Mark.
		First of all it had a nut vinegrette on it made with nuts and duck fat(!) that was out of this world.

		Aquavit has yet to put up a clear sign, which should be coming soon, so for now you're likely to walk past the restaurant's entrance and into the lobby of the skyscraper that shares its address.
		Aquavit's food is beautiful: arranged on the expansive white plates with such attention to color contrasts and geometric balance that it qualifies as visual art.
		Visually and spiritually, the new incarnation of Aquavit wants less for a waterfall than for a bit of levity, a bit of zag in all those clean and uncluttered Scandinavian lines.

		In 1991, he returned to Switzerland for almost a year before fate intervened: Aquavit owner Håkan Swahn was hard at work in New York City establishing an identity for Scandinavian cuisine in the U.S. and selected the young Swedish chef for an eight-month apprenticeship at his restaurant.
