Here's how you disguise how strong it is when serving rookies:
You cut the top off of a large PAPER milk carton.
You fill it almost to the top with water.
You drop LOTS of colorful flower petals into the carton.
Insert the Akavit bottle.
When it's frozen solid, remove the carton and you have a bottle frozen(the correct way to serve it) in a solid block of ice with flowers floating around in it.
It looks totally sweet and innocent.
