I tried it in the mid 1970s and still recall
that Aqua Velva might have been a preferable
choice.
Lol!
Oy. That sounds awful.
It has been a long time since I tried Aquavit - my granparents (all from Norway) would have it - but just for special occasions iirc.
As I recall it had sort of an oily taste and texture. Although I was probably 16 years old and that was many moons ago! Perhaps any hard booze would have tasted like that.
