Description

Geschnapst Peer Fruitbrandewijn

Fruit Brandy, or Schnapps, is something that is drunk often in the alpine countries (where it's enjoyed après-ski) and in Central and Eastern Europe. In these countries, quite frequently it's even distilled at home (almost every family has someone who distils).

It's due to this that Nada knew Schnapps. Coming from a mixed Slovenian / Dutch background, she frequently visited her fathers family in Slovenia. Here hospitality is a way of life, where food and drink is enjoyed, and is part of their DNA. Even Nada's cousin produces his own drink for the family to enjoy.

When looking for a great Schnapps she could enjoy in the Netherlands, Nada couldn't find anything that compared to what she enjoyed whilst with her family. So she decided to take matters into her own hands. She managed to get the (secret) family recipe, and then went about sourcing quality ingredients and the right people to help her create something special in the Netherlands.

To create her Pear Schapps requires fruit, and a lot of it. Nada made a concious decision to utilise 'ugly' fruit. Fruit that has all the taste and flavour that's needed, but might be misshapen, or blemised on the outside.  For this reason, supermarkets aren't interested in it - so often it goes to waste. The taste for juice, or schnapps though is absolutely perfect.

Dutch conference & sweet sensation pears are used to create this drink. When combined in the correct ratio, this gives the correct flavour profile. The fruit is juiced, and then allowed to ferment. Once this has been done, its distilled and the fermented juice is turned into a highly alcoholic drink. This is then blended with fresh water, until an abv of 40% is reached. At this point, it's ready. 

Good to know: Not only does Nada ensure that fruit which would otherwise go to waste is used, but the distillery also uses 100% green electricity. 

The resulting schnapps is a joy to drink. It has a distinct aroma of pears, and this carries through into the taste. 

Perfect Serve

This can be enjoyed straight up (at room temperature) on its own as an apertitif, a digestif or mixed with a quality tonic as a longer drink. (Nada recommends using a shot or grappa glass)
