    The Danish have created a wide variety of drinks, beers, liquers, spirits, you name it! We thought it'd be nice to sit our contributors down and have them try a selection of alcohol the Danish have to offer.

      Aquavit is a staple in my household. Aalborg is the classic, but Scratch Distillery in Edmonds, Washington (about 30 minutes north of Seattle) also makes incredible aquavit with infusions. As I type, I'm drinking a cocktail made with aquavit infused with orange peel. It's phenomenal. My housemate is drinking aquavit infused with dill, mixed with plain flat water. It's a great digestive after dinner.

  • @MarkusEmilBorg
    @MarkusEmilBorg 6 лет назад +179

    Fun fact: in Denmark (or Scandinavia in general), Akvavit is often consumed at lunch together with a nice piece of spiced herring on rye bread. I personally recommend having a beer on the side as well. :)

    Fun little story about the _G D_ ... Years ago a mate of mine was in England with his girlfriend on a motorcycle vacation. The bike broke down, he buys a motorcycle magazine and finds a bloke in a nearby town that helped out (he put them up in his house while fixing the bike). They returned home, and as a thank you, he sent the bloke a bottle of _G D_ . He sees it says "bitter" , so he pours the stuff in a beer glass, takes a huge swig and spews it out. Thinks to himself, that if this originated with the vikings, little wonder we turned out as we did. 😂😂

    As a Dane, I'll admit that the Gammel Dansk and Aalborg Akvavit are a bit of an acquired taste, and yes, you _can_ strip the paint off of a house with the last one, and also off of a car door at 400 paces, but the first of the two actually has a significant medicinal purpose. If you feel like you're coming down with something, here's what you do:
    1. Cut a big clove of garlic into thin slices.
    2. Do the same to twice as much ginger root.
    3. Make a pint of mixed blackcurrant and camomile tea, and add the garlic/ginger.
    4. Add 3-4 large teaspoons of honey.
    5. Add lemon or lime juice until you can see the bottom clearly.
    6. Add as much Gammel Dansk to the mix as you can, without making a mess.
    Now you drink this magnificent concoction of goodness, and it'll burn just about every illness straight out of your body. If you're still not feeling better after that, repeat the last step till you're too drunk to care, and that's how this traditional Danish medicine works, it has kept us healthy for ages.

  • @danielgiversen658
    @danielgiversen658 3 года назад

    Guide to scandinavian spirits - coloqially called brændevin (brandy/burnwein): 'Dram', while used as a generic term for spirits - is actually a measure (one unit is usually digested within 1½ hour: 80%=2cl - 40%=4cl). Likewise the generic term 'Snaps', refers to being drunk as a shot. Akvavit is a brandy- or vodka-like spirit spiced with cumin/caraway etc. A 'Bitter' is a bittersweet liqueur spiced with herbs in accordance with german tradition. A danish variant - Bjesk - often homemade - is usually made from akvavit seasoned with herbs, berries, fruit etc. according to personal taste.
    I'd especially recommend Linie Aquavit (norwegian: Linjeakevitt). Btw. akvavit (aqua vitae) likewise whiskey means 'water of life'.

  • @freddiehansen7324
    @freddiehansen7324 6 лет назад +8

    I'm a Dane and NEVER liked the taste of Gammel Dansk, it's just.. no. As for the snaps (Akvavit) you have that with food, mostly "fatty" seafood such as herring/salmon/shrimp and... you have one when out fishing (see a pattern here?) if it's cold out and fish aren't biting... Akvavit is JUST the thing. (btw... that little metal cup on the cherry "wine" is removable, I know many teens who "collected" those back in the day. Cherry "wine" was a cheap choice to get drunk on. You all did good, but whomever picked out the drinks need to go back and pick some better ones. Starting with the beers.

    Akevitt is a beautiful Scandinavian creation, how could you not love it? And as a Norwegian, I absolutely love the Danes for inventing Gammel Dansk, it's the perfect sidekick to a beer, one of my favourite spirits ever, det er deijligt å være norsk i Danmark!
