Note from Ricardo

Aquavit, a Scandinavian alcohol similar to gin, is not well known in Quebec even though local distilleries are now producing it. While gin is associated with juniper berries, aquavit’s distinctive character comes from the caraway seed. The freshness of this spirit comes from its aroma of herbs and spices, which marries perfectly with the flavour of the plums.

You will obtain enough plum syrup to make 5 to 6 cocktails. The syrup is also great for mocktails and drizzled over yogurt.
