[AH-KWUH-VEET]
A Scandinavian spirit traditionally distilled from grain or potatoes and flavoured with herbs like caraway, dill and anise. Best served chilled and shared in good company.
Craft beer, Danish classic beer on tap or bottled, Danish produced gin and wine, you name it… Our Akvavit Bar offers it all and of course both our traditional and newer akvavit types.
In fact, we have the biggest selection of akvavit in the Southern Hemisphere! It comes with a complete akvavit guide so guests can pair their food with just the right spirits. We also have a range of Danish craft beer, including the well known Mikkeller, as well as local craft beers on offer. Danish wines are also on offer as well as a Danish produced gin.
New to akvavit? Explore the diversity of Scandinavia’s national spirit through a guided tasting or one of our curated options. From light, crisp and citrus-forward styles to bold, oak-aged expressions, each bottle tells a story of Nordic tradition and craftsmanship.
On a Friday night, our Akvavit Bar is open for drinks and we serve cocktails reminiscent of Denmark like the popular Copenhagen Cocktail and our dessert-flavoured Koldskaal Cocktail named after the Danish food of summer made with buttermilk, vanilla and lemon.
