It's vodka. I don't think she'll care.

incidentally. I'm making her licorice vodka. if anyone wants progress pics, I am happy to provide.

as I am looking forward to watching this licorice dissolve...

ooh, do tell

My mum loves licorice and vodka (proper aniseed, kinda salty, scandinavian licorice). my gran's friends in denmark once made her licorice vodka by dissolving licorice in a bottle of vodka.

there's a danish discount store (someone described it 'like the bit at the end of ikea with odds and ends) in my town.

that's kinda rare - idk what my town did to get one.

they sell salmiak and other odd scandinavian versions of licorice.

so I am dissolving some in a bottle of vodka.

nice

(I got pirate mix. so I have little swords and skulls sitting in my vodka bottle right now.)

it's kinda badass.

ohhhhhhh. THE ONLY BLACK LICORICE I HAVE EVER LIKED was Lakerol from Norway

dude, scandi licorice is the best. salmiak is awesome.
