The Norwegian Paralysis is probably the most famous Tiki cocktail using Aquavit but when I made it it just tasted like dill and juice. So my quest was to make a good tasting tiki drink with Aquavit. This recipe definitely did the trick. The spices from the cinnamon, cardamom and falernum work really well with the Aquavit and the Grapefruit juice brightens it all up. The spices and Grapefruit juice remind me of lightning on a dark stormy day so I named this after Thor, the Norse God of Thunde...

Editor's Note

Aquavit finds a home in Tiki. Cardamom and cinnamon bridge the gap between savory caraway and tropical citrus, creating a complex, spice-forward profile.
