Viking Royal cocktail

[Gropo]

Had a great cocktail on Venus recently …. Viking Royal. 
Squeeze of Lime+Aquavit + …. What?  What was the bubbly used to top it off?

I don’t remember. Perhaps I had too many.

Found your answer in this thread....sparkling wine - perhaps Prosecco?

I do not care for Aquavit...  Give me a White Lady!!!  A French 75 if I want to add sparking wine cocktail!

Tried one yesterday.

It is most definitely a taste we have not acquired! 😖

I have tried more than once and it is still a firm NO...shots crossing the equator was worse than kissing the fish!!!

Well, to each his own…

If you are doing straight Aquavit, allow me to suggest the Viking Label Aquavit… I’ve only found it available if specifically requested, or you wind up with Linae. The Viking label stuff is much less harsh. On Orion and Venus, they seemed only to have it at the bar in the World Cafe. 
I don’t think it’s available onboard, but in Iceland I had a couple shots of the local Aquavit known as Black Death … worst hangover ever!
