Brennivín

Method

Pour 50ml of Brennivín into a small glass filled with ice cubes. Add 50ml of cold water to dilute the spirit slightly, which helps open up the caraway and herbs flavour profile. Stir gently and serve immediately. Traditionally consumed as a chilled shot alongside rich fermented foods such as hákarl or ræst fiskur, though it can also be sipped slowly as an aperitif.
