      Strong Akvavit or aquavit.
      Its name derived from aqua vitae, the Latin for "water of life" and it contains 40% alcohol.

    I only look at the first guesses among the participants, and among them, I haven't seen the right answer yet. Yes, it might be the longest so far in this contest, although in HubLove a couple of years ago, I believe one went on for about 6 hours (that was really, really hard, though...)

                Akvavit is not what irenev17 guessed. She guessed Bloody Swedish Blonde. Akvavit is just one of the ingredients in this drink, apparently.

                         No, one is an ingredient in another. Just like tequila and a margarita are not the same thing; one goes into the other.

    actually, habee and my wife are both right about that ingredient, as Jason said, but wrong about the name. I have to learn not to push the enter key as fast. bad habit.

       Jason Menayanposted 12 years agoin reply to this

       Correct!
       
       The other correct name would have been Danish Mary, answered by PrettyPanther, but, unfortunately, after she had already guessed another answer.
       
       The Bloody Dane or Danish Mary is a Bloody Mary, except the vodka is substituted with akvavit (aquavit).
       
       Congratulations, Angela. You have 3 bonus entries in tomorow's Daily Drawing.
