Nordic Martini
The Nordic Martini was inspired by Sweden's famous national drink “Akvavit''. In this recipe, we make Akvavit-Spiced Grey Goose Vodka by infusing vodka with fresh and dried spices. Savory, herbaceous, slightly sweeter than a dry martini, this salmon-garnished drink just may be the new brunch favorite.
