Serve with a shot glass of ice-cold akvavit as a flavor
refresher just before the main course in a festive menu.
Another spectacular way to present the shot glass of
akvavit is, to freeze the bottle, without cap, in a
champagne bucket filled with water and Christmas
decorations. Just before serving, hold the bucket under
the water tap with hot water for a moment, so that the ice
block loosens from the rim.
