Meenzer 13989 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Disaster - IKEA Croydon has had its alcohol licence temporarily revoked! Does anyone know a decent stockist of aquavit, either online or "IRL"? I don't think any of the major supermarkets have it, and I can't imagine it's high on the list of priorities for the High Street off-licences either, but maybe someone's seen it at one of the better ones? I can't really be arsed to trek around looking for it, but I know I'm going to get withdrawal symptoms soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 13989 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 I bet somewhere like Selfridges would sell it. Good call. Not quite the brand I wanted, but hey, alkies can't be choosers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagar the horrible 0 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi Meenzer I sympathise with your problem. In the words of Doctor Hook "I just can't get enough of that lovely stuff"! In the past I have had to rely on relatives bringing me back the odd bottle from Norway. But now it seems as though they are rationing me and holding back until its my birthday or Christmas. The prices in Ikea and the specialst stores are too expensive to say the least. However I think I have just found the answer. Make my own Aquavit Its basically Vodka infused with herbs and spices. There are plenty of recipes on the internet - just type into google "Making Aquavit". You can buy the vodka of the make and strength of your choosing. add the herbs and spices and a few days or weeks later hey presto! - Aquavit. Here's a couple of links to be going on with: http://www.eatfeed.com/recipes/aquavit.htm http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3190/is_/ai_87131083 I'm going to experiment with a bottle of Asda's cheapest vodka at £6:54 and see how it goes. If it works well I'll splash out on something with 40% or 43% alcohol. Best wishes hagar the horrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
