Also called akvavit this 'water of life; is a flavored spirit that is mostly produced in Scandinavia, since the 15th century. It is a grain or potato spirit base, and can be flavored with many herbs and spices. EU laws dictate it must be mostly flavored by caraway or dill. A common brand of caraway aquavit is Linie. You can actually make this yourself (or something very similar) here is a recipe from the book 'Akvavit' by Rasmus Risum-Urth: Toast in a pan: 2g cardamom, 8g pine nuts, 10g caraway, 1.5g cinnamon bark, 0.5g star anise, 2g pink peppercorns. Add spices to 500ml of vodka and sous vide for 2 hours at 60C (or just let steep for a week). Strain off solids and add 1.5L gin.
0.5 oz
The second most common juice used in cocktails. This citrus juice is about 6% acid; 4% from citric and 2% from malic, with small amounts of succinic acid (this is what gives it a little bloody taste). Lime juice should be used the day it is squeezed, some like it freshly squeezed and others like it a few hours old.

A filtered juice made from apples. Apples contain malic acid that gives a tart flavor and lingers longer than citric acid.

A lightly spiced whiskey sour with caraway, apple, and cucumber. To infuse the whisky: Combine 40g horseradish, 100g ground mustard seeds, and 750ml whisky in a iSi canister. Charge it twice with N2O, shaking between each charges. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then vent quickly. Unscrew and strain. Alternatively you could steep the whisky in the horseradish and mustard seed for a few weeks, I cannot guarantee this will be the same.
