Product Information

Of course, you can always enjoy them neat for a simpler, more original taste. Whatever your preference, you can Jungfrau Herbal Schnapps takes inspiration from the story of the Meyer brothers who wanted to scale the Swiss Bernese Mountains, known as the Jungfrau. In 1811 each had a flask of fermented herbs and spices to keep their spirits up on their arduous journey.

STEP #1– Choose your fruit. Cherries, plums, and apples are commonly used. You will want to gather your fruit when it is most ripe. To make a small batch of schnapps, you will need about 3 quarts of fruit.Schnapps production and consumption vary greatly by region, reflecting local tastes and traditions. For instance, in Scandinavian countries, schnapps often refers to aquavit, a spirit flavoured with spices and herbs, predominantly caraway. In the Balkans, rakia or rakija is a similar concept, with each region and often each household boasting its own version. Jungfrau Herbal Schnapps contains a secret blend of more than 40 spices, herbs and roots that are fermented & distilled with alcohol. Fruits and flowers are also thrown in for good measure, which creates a rather eclectic taste and aroma. On The Nose For those with more refined palates, try our lesser-known spirits that aren’t quite as mainstream as the popular favourites. From tequila’s sibling, STEP #2–The first thing that will come out will be the fore shots, or the head. This contains a toxic combination of acetone and methyl alcohol and it will smell strongly like chemicals. There will be about 7.5 ml per 1.5 liters (0.4 US gal) of wine. Discard this.

It is thought the bottles were taken as a result of confusion over whether the right tax had been paid on the spirits. Then I tried adding 1 part Cointreau to the original recipe. But I found that the orange flavor overpowered the apple. Which kind of defeats the purpose of an appletini if you ask me 🙂 Many liqueurs referred to as schnapps, but distinct from fruit brandies, are created by the addition of herbal or fruit flavors to a neutral spirit by various methods. The neutral spirit used can vary by location and tradition. An Obstler, or Obstbrand (from the German Obst, fruit and Brand, brandy), [7] is a traditional type of schnaps made by fermenting macerated fruit and distilling to produce a clear, unsweetened fruit brandy. Obstler is traditionally produced in Austria, Switzerland, southern Germany, and the culturally German regions of Alsace and Lorraine in modern-day France. Obstler is mainly associated with the southern part of the German-language area; in northern Germany, almost all traditional distilled beverages are grain-based.So I tried swapping the measurements for the apple schnapps and the vodka which improved the taste but didn’t solve the color issue. And with less vodka than schnapps, I’m not sure it really qualifies as a martini. (But I did use it as the basis for my Appletini “easy on the tini” recipe that you can find below). Wahrig: Deutsches Wörterbuch (Munich: Bertelsmann, 2006). See Obstler at p. 1087, "aus einer Obstsorte hergestellter Branntwein." She explained: “Especially where people were either hunting and eating wild boar and rabbits, or people were eating the food from the contaminated area.

Strain & garnish: Strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a green apple slice if you like (this garnish was included in the original 1996 recipe!). The Chernobyl Spirit Company, a social enterprise which creates apple schnapps and vodka from fruit and grain grown in the so-called “Zone Two”, sells the drinks to tourists and in the UK. It launched pear and plum versions of its schnapps in 2022. The German Schnapps recipe is very similar to that of brandy; it is created using fermented fruit in the distillation process and it offers a colourless, clear, fruity flavour. When it is bottled, no sugar is added and it is not aged. It is intended that it be consumed without any mix. FERMENTING YOUR FRUIT:

Schnapps, a broad term encompassing a variety of spirituous beverages, is a multifaceted and culturally significant component of many drinking traditions around the world. Originating from the German word “Schnaps,” which means “swallow,” schnapps can refer to any strong alcoholic drink but is generally associated with fruit brandies, herbal liqueurs, and flavoured spirits.

The German term Schnaps refers to "any kind of strong, dry spirit", [6] similar to how eau de vie (water of life) is used in French, aguardiente (burning water) in Spanish, or aguardente Portuguese. Schnapps ( / ʃ n ɑː p s/ or / ʃ n æ p s/) or schnaps is a type of alcoholic beverage that may take several forms, including distilled fruit brandies, [1] herbal liqueurs, infusions, and "flavored liqueurs" made by adding fruit syrups, spices, or artificial flavorings to neutral grain spirits.

If you’re not familiar with distilling yet you may want to read this guide to cuts and fractions before you proceed. The guide should help to explain the differences between fore shots, heads, hearts and tails. STEP #4– Add yeast and water. Dissolve 6 teaspoons of active dry yeast (found at any grocery store) in a cup of warm water. Add this mixture to the fruit. Add 6 cups cold water.

Apparently, the Appletini was designed from the start to taste like everyone’s favorite sour apple candy. “We put this martini together and thought, it tastes pretty good, like an apple Jolly Rancher,” said Dunsworth in this interview. Appletini ingredients
