The glass

Serve this one in an old fashioned glass. The old fashioned glass or rocks glass is a short tumbler used for serving spirits, such as whisky, neat or with ice cubes. It is also normally used to serve certain cocktails, such as the Old Fashioned, from which it receives its name.

Did you know

My inspiration for this drink is Alice in wonderland with the wacky theme. The flavour combinations feel like they could come out of the mad hatter’s imagination and the profile would match the taste of the white rabbit. It is a surprising drink, the dill aquavit pairs so well with the carrot. While the creme de cacao and Aperol add a subtle sweetness and additional background flavours. The carrot ice cubes melt pretty fast so that the cocktail evolves nicely into more savoury territory. Recommend sipping on this with a side of savoury snacks.
