Start with these components prepared in advance: Rich simple syrup 2:1 (Light Karo Syrup (star anise & clove infused- see note)).

Combine the Aquavit, clarified lemon juice, clarified grapefruit juice, and rich simple syrup infused with star anise and clove in a mixing tin.

Stir aggressively to ensure the syrup is fully dissolved into the mixture.

Add ice to the mixing tin and shake vigorously until the cocktail is thoroughly chilled.

Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.

Garnish with a star anise pod for an aromatic finish.
