The copper coin method is the traditional way to gauge the correct spirit-to-coffee ratio - the coin disappears in dark coffee and reappears as the clear aquavit dilutes the opacity, making it a charming and practical folk measure. Aquavit is the definitive spirit here; its caraway and dill botanicals complement the roasted bitterness of the coffee in a way vodka cannot match.
