Berentzen Pear Schnapps, 70 cl

Product Information

You’ll occasionally notice that Schnaps is sometimes spelled “Schnapps” with a mysterious second “P”. As mentioned above, the drink’s name is routed in the action for which the verb is also spelled with two Ps. Having a Schümli Pflümli before or after being in the mountains is always a good idea.

Austria has the perfect blend of cold weather and sunshine to produce fruits high in acidity and aroma. Most fruits in Austria do not possess a sugary sweetness when in a non-distilled state.

Place Cassis, rum and Schnapps into a shaker with crushed ice. Shake, strain, and pour into a tall glass. Top with Sprite and garnish with berries.

During her reign in the 1700s, the late Empress legalised the production of up to 200 litres of distilled alcohol per household annually. Land-owning farmers were permitted to produce an additional 100 litres. Austrians began to make alcohol from their home-grown fruits and berries or those found growing in the wild.
