Aquavits

/ˌɑːkwəˈviːts/ noun

Definition

Plural of aquavit; multiple bottles or types of the Scandinavian herbal distilled spirit.

Etymology

Simple plural of 'aquavit,' maintaining the singular form derived from Latin 'aqua vitae' (water of life).

Kelly Says

Many Scandinavian families have their own aquavit recipes passed down for generations, and some bottles are buried or hidden for decades to develop complex flavors—it's like they're creating liquid time capsules to taste what their ancestors' spirits were like.
