St Knut’s Day Recipe

St. Knuts day is a scandinavian holiday that traditionally heralds the end of the christmas season. In sweden, its celebrated by taking down the christmas tree. Practical, yes but we much prefer the old finnish tradition of nuuttipukki, where young folks dress as goats and go door-to-door demanding treats and leftover alcohol. Our neighbors are not nearly as hospitable as the finns, so well content ourselves with this gorgeous sparkling cocktail from dave shenaut at raven & rose in portland. It features the crisp caraway flavor of aquavit, sweetened with honey and lemon and kept light with a topper of prosecco (or any sparkling white wine you prefer).
