Aquavit, or "water of life" is a flavored spirit, most famously originating from Scandanavia. Distilled from either grain or potatoes, it is flavored with herbs or spices; alcohol is traditionally around 40%.

While some versions are clear, most have some hue, often light straw, as they are flavored with herbs such as caraway, cumin or anise, while some contain caramel coloring. Aquavit is served neat.
