For Peder Schweigert, the cocktail of the future will be built on spirits made with greater transparency. In the Amiraali, Schweigert and Marvel Bar head bartender Matthew Voss shake together two such spirits—Duquesne Blanc rhum agricole and Gamle Ode Dill, a locally made aquavit—along with citrus and rancio sec.
