Aquavit is a staple in my household. Aalborg is the classic, but Scratch Distillery in Edmonds, Washington (about 30 minutes north of Seattle) also makes incredible aquavit with infusions.

The bike broke down, he buys a motorcycle magazine and finds a bloke in a nearby town that helped out (he put them up in his house while fixing the bike). They returned home, and as a thank you, he sent the bloke a bottle of _G D_ . He sees it says "bitter" , so he pours the stuff in a beer glass, takes a huge swig and spews it out.

Feels like you producers "accidentally" chose the worst of what Denmark has to offer.

[@lysanamcmillan7972]

I'm weird. I had my first taste of aquavit after an author friend whose ancestors were from Sweden died. I actually liked it. But I HATE black licorice, anise, most absinthe, sambuca, and ouzo. Maybe he drank it for me?

[@wroomwroomboy123]

Akvavits and Bitters are usually had with/after fatty foods. Then they become absolutely amazing.

[@doggie7602]

Damn right.

[@HenrikGamborg]

No they are not. Been a steady drink at our family tables for all my life, and also present at a get together with friends. Helps bring out the taste of good foods. And that goes for any mementos occasion, be it Christmas, Easter, birthdays. Or any random get together with good food.

When she tried to speak at 3:37.... I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. That was like me the first time I had a, ahem, "clear alcohol" and it was like ".... (noise noise) *breath* (that alcohol whisper voice when you're trying to speak)... what's in that?!?"

[@torbjrnlund903]

That danish cherry wine shold be served cold (says so on the bottle), with plenty ice cubes and a slice of lemon.

[@topmodelbaby100]

[@strictlyfate3199]

Lol all good, sorry I phrased it douchesque, was not meant that way, bottom left corner shows any blue dark blue and black :)

As a Dane, I'll admit that the Gammel Dansk and Aalborg Akvavit are a bit of an acquired taste, and yes, you _can_ strip the paint off of a house with the last one, and also off of a car door at 400 paces, but the first of the two actually has a significant medicinal purpose. If you feel like you're coming down with something, here's what you do: 1. Cut a big clove of garlic into thin slices. 2. Do the same to twice as much ginger root. 3. Make a pint of mixed blackcurrant and camomile tea, and add the garlic/ginger. 4. Add 3-4 large teaspoons of honey. 5. Add lemon or lime juice until you can see the bottom clearly. 6. Add as much Gammel Dansk to the mix as you can, without making a mess. Now you drink this magnificent concoction of goodness, and it'll burn just about every illness straight out of your body. If you're still not feeling better after that, repeat the last step till you're too drunk to care, and that's how this traditional Danish medicine works, it has kept us healthy for ages.

[@KaptajnLaulund]

As a dane. Yes we drink a lot and we start about when we are 13-15 years old

[@jennybenny2468]

HOW are you guys not doing a Facts. Podcast yet???

[@freddiehansen7324]

I'm a Dane and NEVER liked the taste of Gammel Dansk, it's just.. no. As for the snaps (Akvavit) you have that with food, mostly "fatty" seafood such as herring/salmon/shrimp and... you have one when out fishing (see a pattern here?) if it's cold out and fish aren't biting... Akvavit is JUST the thing. (btw... that little metal cup on the cherry "wine" is removable, I know many teens who "collected" those back in the day. Cherry "wine" was a cheap choice to get drunk on. You all did good, but whomever picked out the drinks need to go back and pick some better ones. Starting with the beers.

[@Mojbak.]

This guy with the cap apparently thinks Denmark is Finland....

[@zeriab246]

Fun fact: Aalborg Taffel Akvavit is currently only being produced in Norway

[@Rugbyspelaren]

We drink the 2 last One with the pickled fish !

[@AquilaLiberum]

Surprise Colin at the end was great

[@Ehlyda]

I just literally spat my coffee all over from laughing 😂

[@Heebu100]

1:13 I know exactly what he means, sometime beers have a weird metal taste. Why I always buy bottled beer.

[@redsonja2291]

Do Norwegian alcohol next! We also have akevitt. The Danish one and the Norwegian ones are made with potato. People usually drink it when they have christmas dinner.

[@G33KSPALACEdotCOM]

I drink a small glass whenever I eat herring :)

[@rebeccafurlong2569]

I am in love with Shannon. Her reaction and facial expressions are hilarious 😂😙

[@slamblamboozled1245]

Rebecca Furlong Can't help but love her. She's been putting it on a bit lately but it's still great

[@mattybearvids]

I actually watched the absinthe video after this one..total comedy

[@ashleytoth9907]

Rebecca Furlong she's the best for drinking videos

[@klausmarkussen9560]

I have never seen better reactions to gammel dansk and red Aalborg before in my entire life
