Angostura Style Schnapps Angostura is one of the essential ingredients in Pink Gin, and a welcome addition to numerous other drinks from Ginger Beer to Trinidad Rum Punch. It has also great use in cooking - add a few drops to spice up your soup or marinade. With its deep burgundy colour and intense aromas of fruit, herbs and spices it is the perfect addition to many drinks. Angostura is not meant to be consumed by itself, but adding a few drops to other drinks imbues them with a herby, spicy warmth. |

Although the exact recipe is a well kept secret, we do know that some of the ingredients are aniseed, ginger, rowanberry, laurel, gentian, Seville orange and cinnamon. |

Absinth Absinthe, a wormwood and star aniseed flavoured aperitif, was the drink of choice among artist and writers in the late19th century.

It was drunk by the scandalous playwright Oscar Wilde, the eccentric Toulouse-Lautrec, the poets Charles Baudelaire and Edgar Allen Poe, and the famous 20th century author Ernest Hemingway, just to mention a few. |
 |
Caraway Vodka Mildly flavoured with ... you guessed it ... Caraway (and NOT cumin as you might expect from the Swedish name - it actually means caraway), this is a smooth schnapps for the Christmas lunch or the smorgasbord. |
 |
Hunters Schnapps First of all...what about that label? Well - way back in the seventh century, a young lad named Hubertus was envied for his purity (remember, this is only a legend). Theoderich of Burgundy was one of these jealous sorts, and so waged war against Hubertus and his uncle, Pipin (when was the last time you spoke to your Uncle Pipin?). By defeating Theoderich, Hubertus proved himself valiant in battle and dashing in a codpiece, and so won the hand of the beautiful princess, Floribana. Together they lived happily with the benefits of wealth, good fortune, and clear skin. Alas, alas, the good Princess soon fell ill and died. Sigh. In his grief, Hubertus turned away from the sumptuous life of royalty and became a solitary figure, often going to the woods to hunt alone. During one of these hunting trips, Hubertus encountered a splendid stag with a cross (yes, yes, it's a dog and no cross in the label....copyrights and trademarks you know) that appeared to float between its antlers (and no, Hubertus had not been drinking at the time). The vision moved Hubertus to change his life. He gave all his earthly possessions to the poor, gave up his title, and founded several monasteries. After his death, Hubertus was made a saint and became the Patron Saint of Hunters. This famous schnapps is made from 56 herbs, roots, and spices - some of them secret. Once the 56 ingredients are measured and ground, they are reduced to macerates (extracts) by being steeped in a mixture of cold water and alcohol for two to three days. After the resulting extract has been filtered, it is stored in oak barrels for a period of not less than one year. At the end of this storage time, the extract is filtered once more, mixed with liquid sugar, caramel, alcohol, and water, and filtered yet again. The resultant brew is then ready for bottling. Drink it straight, or use in drinks - always cold. In case you need some inspiration, here are a few drink recipes: Juicy Lucy 30 ml Hunters Schnapps Shake and strain into a rocks glass. Fire Engine In case of emergency. 40-60 ml ice cold Hunters Schnapps Always keep the Hunters Schnapps bottle in the freezer. |
