Mira Bergman-Tonic (drink recipe):

1/2 part lemon juice
1 part acquavit (chilled in freezer)
2 1/2 parts tonic water (preferably Canada Dry)
* in certain quarters, the surface of the drink is decorated with once-rinsed capers

This is a _very_ dry Scandinavian cocktail.  Partakers often like to listen to Goldstein’s _Wiretap_ on CBC while imbibing.  Typically, a herring is placed alongside.  When the herring begins to grin and make googly eyes at you (normally after 20 mins. or so), then you know the beverage is taking effect.
