I don't think I want to drink fermented Artichoke Juice. That one makes my mouth water in a bad way.

I'm not sure if this is considered weird. My family is Danish and we have akvavit at every holiday get together. That stuff will take the paint off the walls, and then take out the wall. Even after it has stayed in the freezer for a month. It's kind of like a vodka flavored with caraway seed, gasoline and a touch of evil. I'm pretty sure this is the Scandinavian way of warding off the devil. Pretty much like saying, "Look if I can drink this you ain't gonna be able to do shit." That or my family hates themselves so much we feel the need to punish ourselves with this stuff.

Thanks for the replies, everybody! I've seen Cynar, and while I'm sure I won't like it, I'll definitely check it out. I've had akvavit, usually the Norwegian brand Linie, and I quite like it (I'm of Norwegian ancestry).
