South Jersey had our first big blizzard in 4 years, and after shoveling all day Monday at work I wanted to finally get a snow picture and turned to a favorite local spirit to lean into the snow storm (though Asbury got way less than we did here). It was 8 am and after a quick taste this got thrown in a bottle in the freezer for later because I wasn’t giving this one up. Deliciously herbal and incredibly, surprisingly balanced, this packs a punch in the best way. This is a crazy strong recipe but...

Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with 1-2 oz of snow and a couple small cubes and stir shorter than normal, about 15 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube. Garnish with a Mint Bouquet, if you have mint.

Editor's Note

Aquavit meets coffee and Green Chartreuse in this bold, herbal sipper. A complex, spirit-forward winter warmer that balances deep roast with alpine intensity.
