Not a tea liqueur, not an flavored party vodka, not an iced tea with a kick – a reddish-brown vodka that works on ice, in long drinks, and, according to the manufacturer, even served warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Infused Vodka by Kakuzo\u003c\/strong\u003e is the product the Berlin brand started with; the manufacturer also calls it Earl Grey Vodka. A tea-infused vodka is a vodka in which tea leaves have been steeped. The finished spirit absorbs the color, tannins, and aroma of the tea, similar to water when brewing – only here, alcohol does the work. According to Kakuzo, the dosage and steeping time of the tea, as well as the temperature and alcohol strength of the vodka, determine the result. Bartenders have always prepared such tea infusions themselves, bottle by bottle behind the bar. At Kakuzo, the idea comes pre-bottled, according to the manufacturer. Imagine a Friday evening: a long drink glass full of ice, 5 cl of vodka, topped with bitter lemon, and a grapefruit wedge. The first sip brings citrus, followed by the black tea, which leaves a tart finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpicy, slightly malty, honey and citrus – and the tannins of black tea on the finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe vodka tastes pleasantly spicy and slightly malty, with notes of honey and aromatic citrus fruits – this is how Kakuzo describes its tea blend. It contains three varieties: Sencha, a green tea from Japan, plus two black teas: Keemun from China and Assam from India. The malty note characteristic of Assam gives the vodka body; Sencha keeps it fresh. The finish retains what a strongly brewed black tea has: a dry, slightly tart note of tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is a vodka that is quintuple-filtered, multi-distilled, and, according to the manufacturer, very smooth – smooth enough to carry the tea instead of masking it. It is vodka, not a liqueur: 40% ABV, and the sweetness is a honey note from the tea, not a layer of sugar. Those who want to experience the same tea blend clear and floral rather than tart should reach for the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/organic-dry-gin\"\u003eOrganic Dry Gin\u003c\/a\u003e: there, the tea is included in the distillation as a botanical, whereas here, it steeps directly in the vodka and releases its color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOn ice, as an Earl Grey Lemon with bitter lemon – and even warm, according to the manufacturer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn ice in a tumbler, the vodka shows its tea character most clearly: the cold removes the sharpness of the alcohol, and the black tea remains. It is a spirit with 40% ABV; sales are restricted to persons aged 18 and over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer's signature long drink is the Earl Grey Lemon: 5 cl of vodka in a long drink glass filled with ice cubes, topped with 10 cl of bitter lemon, stirred gently, and garnished with a grapefruit wedge. Those who prefer something shorter should shake an Earl Grey Sour: 5 cl of vodka, 2 cl of lime juice, and 1 cl of agave syrup shaken vigorously over ice, then strained into a tumbler filled with ice. And then there is the recommendation that distinguishes this vodka from all others in the home bar: when enjoyed warm, according to Kakuzo, the aroma of the tea unfolds in its full depth – a small glass, gently heated, on an evening in November.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStore in a cool, dark place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e For the Earl Grey Lemon, lightly squeeze the grapefruit wedge over the glass before dropping it in – the oil from the peel brings out the citrus notes of the tea and balances the tannins on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom Berlin, developed in a bathtub – how two bar-loving friends brought tea into the bottle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKakuzo is a Berlin brand from Paul and Marc, two friends who explored the city's bar scene back in their school days and have traveled extensively through Asia since. In Berlin bars, they saw how cocktails took on new directions through homemade tea infusions – and wanted to put the result into a bottle. After experiments in their own bathtub, the recipe was finalized in 2017, and the brand has been around since about 2018. The tea vodka was their first product; Yuzu Gin Liqueur, Cherry Bitter, and Organic Dry Gin followed later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe name honors the Japanese scholar Okakura Kakuzō.

For Paul and Marc, he is the inspiration and namesake; their claim is \"Formed by Time.\" The tea blend of Sencha, Keemun, and Assam is their own composition. The manufacturer does not specify the distillery or the type of grain used for the vodka; what is confirmed is the tea blend, the filtration, and the Berlin headquarters. The label is adorned with mythical creatures from Far Eastern folklore – the fox spirit Kitsune, the long-nosed Tengu, and a tea-leaf samurai as the brand mascot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor the home bar, for tea drinkers with a penchant for bars, and for everyone who feels plain vodka doesn't tell much of a story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tea vodka is the bottle for everyone who has previously dismissed vodka as a neutral mixing base.

A gin liqueur is created when finished distilled gin is combined with fruit and sweetness – with significantly less alcohol than gin, in this case 20% ABV. The yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit with a flavor profile between grapefruit, mandarin, and lime. The mandarin rounds out what the yuzu makes sharp. Imagine your first warm evening on the balcony: 5 cl of liqueur over ice, topped with tonic, and a grapefruit zest – first acidity, then sweetness, and a hint of bitterness at the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDelicate acidity, gentle sweetness, a light bitter note – yuzu up front, mandarin rounding it out behind\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe liqueur tastes of yuzu first: bright, acidic, with the light bitterness of the peel.

The base is unusual: Kakuzo uses vodka as the base for its bitter – the same smooth vodka used in their Tea Infused Vodka.

A grain liqueur is created when fruits or spices are macerated in grain spirit and the infusion is then turned into a liqueur with sugar. NORK uses its own Doppelkorn made from German wheat as a base, mild enough to let the lemon and ginger take center stage. The ingredients are fresh and organic: lemons processed with juice and zest, and ginger that is peeled, sliced, and pressed by hand. Only as much sugar is added as is necessary to qualify as a liqueur – this is the principle NORK follows. The result is naturally cloudy: suspended particles settle at the bottom over time, so shake the bottle before pouring. Imagine a summer evening on the balcony, a glass with ice, sparkling wine on top, yellow liqueur on the bottom, and with the first sip, you get the lemon, then the ginger that tickles your throat a little.

Its heat is distinct, but it does not burn – it warms you, like fresh ginger tea. This is balanced by the acidity of the lemon, bright and fresh, with the light bitterness of the zest. The sweetness remains in the background: the liqueur is sweet, but far from the sugar-bomb character of many fruit liqueurs. The grain spirit in the background provides body and a mild cereal note while otherwise staying in the background. In the finish, the warmth of the ginger lingers longest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA comparison with limoncello is obvious because lemon zest is involved here too. However, it is misleading: limoncello is sweeter and stronger, and it lacks the ginger; the NORK liqueur is lighter at 20% vol, cloudier, and sharper. According to the manufacturer, it is vegan and contains no artificial flavorings. NORK claims the cloudiness and suspended particles are proof of this – and intentional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIced and neat, as a spritz with sparkling wine, or with soda over ice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIced and neat is the manufacturer's first recommendation.

It is a liqueur with 20% vol; sales are restricted to persons aged 18 and over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a spritz, the liqueur becomes a summer drink: 4 cl of Lemon-Ginger into a wine glass over ice, top with dry sparkling wine, and add a slice of lemon. For those who prefer it lighter, top with soda instead of sparkling wine – creating a ginger lemonade with character. As a long drink base and in cocktails, the liqueur holds its own with its 20% vol; NORK collects recipes for this on their blog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShake the bottle before pouring so that the suspended particles are distributed.

They have been distilling grain spirit since 2016 with the goal of making it popular again; the liqueurs came later, and the Lemon-Ginger was the first. The idea: to show that a liqueur with good ingredients, craftsmanship, and little sugar can stand on its own.

A grain-based coffee liqueur means: instead of rum or neutral alcohol, a wheat Doppelkorn provides the base for the coffee, and instead of an extract, it uses real coffee – as a cold brew, steeped cold for up to 18 hours. When extracted cold, coffee releases its roasted notes but barely any bitter compounds; that is exactly what makes the liqueur so well-rounded. The licorice comes from licorice root, the root that licorice has always been made from – without the ammonium chloride that makes Nordic licorice salty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRobust coffee, minimal bitterness, with subtle licorice root in the background\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the liqueur is pitch-black.

In 2013, Heiko Hoos no longer wanted to choose between classic and modern when it came to gin, so he started distilling himself. The result is a gin that consciously adheres to the old school. The designation refers to a method of production, not a statement of origin. The aromas are derived from distillation with plant-based ingredients; after that, practically only water may be added. Such a gin is therefore never colored or subsequently flavored. The result is clear in the glass and clear in taste. Hoos distills slowly and bottles in small batches of 120 bottles. Those who like to know who is behind a bottle will find here a distiller with a name and address in Karlsruhe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHoos Gin smells like a forest. The producer describes it himself: \"A gin like a walk in the woods.\" The nose catches resinous pine buds and strong juniper, accompanied by floral lavender and fresh chamomile. The juniper is at the front, as is fitting for a classic gin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate reveals the entire list of herbs. Coriander and cardamom seeds provide warmth, while cubeb pepper and mace add a slightly peppery, dark layer. Marjoram and lemon balm give a green, spicy note. Lemon and orange peel as well as orange blossoms keep the whole thing bright. Angelica and sweet fennel round off the gin and provide structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 44.4% vol, it is strong, but the aromas carry it well.

In a Gin and Tonic, a dry tonic water allows the juniper and forest notes to shine through. Plenty of ice belongs in the glass so that the drink stays cold and dilutes slowly. A sprig of rosemary or a strip of orange peel makes for a suitable garnish, both picking up on aromas from the list of herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also cuts a fine figure in a Martini. Gin and dry vermouth are stirred over ice and strained into a pre-chilled glass. Serve with an olive or a lemon twist. For a Negroni, combine equal parts gin, red vermouth, and a bitter liqueur.

This is exactly what this gin liqueur is made for; the producer himself calls it “a perfect aperitif.” Why a gin liqueur instead of a gin? In the EU, a gin must have at least 37.5% ABV. This liqueur has 30.5% ABV, putting it below that threshold. Hoos himself classifies it as “somewhere between classic London dry gin aromas and a gin liqueur.” In the glass, it is summery and fruity, yet clearly recognizable as a gin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFlavor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pink Grapefruit Gin Liqueur tastes first of fruit and then of herbs.

Those who prefer it hotter should use the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/ketchup-wuerzig\"\u003eSpicy Ketchup\u003c\/a\u003e instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe same base as the original, only mild\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mild ketchup is the mild variation of the original. The original, the spicy version, was created in the kitchen of the family restaurant Zum Heiligen Stein in Muschenheim, because a suitable sauce to go with their farm's own lamb sausages was missing from the market. For the mild version, the recipe remained the same except for the heat: the tomato paste from Northern Italy, the cane sugar, the vinegar with raspberry juice, the bell pepper, and the spice blend, the composition of which is a trade secret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason a mild ketchup still tastes like something is the tomato content: there are around 400 grams of double-concentrated tomatoes in every kilo of ketchup. This is why the tomato provides the binding itself and the color turns dark red all on its own. It is stirred and bottled by hand in small batches at the production facility in Lich near Giessen. The lamb on the label stands for the sausages that started it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mild ketchup received two stars at the 2021 Great Taste Awards from the British Guild of Fine Food and one star in 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe ketchup that is usually ordered in pairs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eMany customers order the mild ketchup together with the spicy one: one jar for the kids, one for the adults, both on the table during barbecues. Those who want to provide for the whole family in one order will find the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zum-heiligen-stein-ketchup-3er-set\"\u003e3-piece ketchup set\u003c\/a\u003e, containing mild, spicy, and hot, all together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn everyday life, it is the jar that sits at the children's table, yet is still used by adults once the spicy one is gone – because it tastes like tomato rather than \"kids' ketchup.\" Once people have tried it with fish, they often only buy it for that purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a gift, mild is the safe choice if you aren't sure how spicy the recipient likes it: everyone enjoys it, and those who want more heat can add it themselves.

Medium-hot tomato ketchup, thick enough for a spoon, from a restaurant kitchen in Hesse.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpiced Ketchup from Zum Heiligen Stein\u003c\/strong\u003e is a handmade ketchup from Lich near Giessen: 43 percent double-concentrated tomato paste, cane sugar, vinegar with raspberry juice, bell pepper, and spices, in a 400g jar. No thickeners, no flavor enhancers, no preservatives, vegan – in a jar because it is too thick for a squeeze bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpiced Ketchup\u003c\/strong\u003e is our best-selling ketchup by far, significantly outselling all other varieties and brands in our shop. The reason is simple: it is the variety that goes with everything. Medium-hot, fruity, with noticeably more tomato and spice than what comes out of a plastic bottle – and yet an all-rounder rather than a specialty product for a single dish. Bratwurst, fries, burgers, steak: a jar is a permanent fixture in the refrigerators of many of our customers, and the next order comes as soon as it’s empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMedium-hot means: spice you can taste, heat that warms instead of burns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first impression is tomato: dark red, thick, sweet from cane sugar, with an acidity that remains well-rounded. This is ensured by the vinegar with raspberry juice, which the manufacturer uses instead of pure spirit vinegar: the acidity feels rounder, fruitier, and less sharp on the nose. Then come the bell peppers and the spice blend, which Boris Sauerborn keeps to himself, with a heat that lingers in the finish but never burns. Children usually eat this spiced ketchup without any issues; for those who want real heat, there is the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/ketchup-scharf\"\u003eHot Ketchup\u003c\/a\u003e with cayenne pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe consistency is the second difference. Because there are about 400 grams of tomatoes in every kilo of ketchup, the fruit does the thickening: the ketchup is naturally thick, almost like a paste, and comes out of the jar with a spoon. Anyone opening it for the first time is often surprised at how little it pours – this is intentional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne limitation must be mentioned: the sugar. With a good 36 grams of sugar per 100 grams, it falls within the range of a classic tomato ketchup, and the sweetness is part of the recipe. It is not suitable for those who need a sugar-reduced sauce. However, for anyone looking for a ketchup that tastes like tomato instead of syrup, this is the right choice. And one more limitation: those expecting a thin, pourable ketchup will find this jar to be too thick – it is made for spooning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWith bratwurst, on a burger, in a marinade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic is grilled bratwurst with a dollop of spiced ketchup on the side rather than on top. This way, the crust stays crispy, and you can portion it yourself. Just as good: fries and oven potatoes, pork chops and neck steaks, spare ribs, meatloaf, meatballs. On a burger, a tablespoon replaces the usual combination of ketchup and sauce because it brings both: sweetness, acidity, and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor weekend breakfast, it goes with scrambled eggs and fried potatoes; for dinner, with fish fingers and mashed potatoes – dishes where a standard ketchup would only contribute sweetness, whereas this one adds spice as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the kitchen, it is more than just a dip. Two tablespoons in gravy add tomato and depth. With a splash of oil, a little honey, and pepper, it becomes a marinade for chicken thighs or ribs that can be left to marinate overnight before hitting the grill. For a quick dinner: pasta with fried bacon and onions, finish by stirring in two spoonfuls of ketchup. And children who only eat potatoes with ketchup will prefer them with this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep the jar in the fridge after opening and keep a long spoon next to it.

The restaurant is located in Muschenheim, a district of Lich near Giessen, and is owned by the Sauerborn family; the bratwursts came from their own sheep. In the restaurant kitchen, Boris Sauerborn cooked tomato paste, sugar, vinegar, and spices until the guests started asking for the recipe. The sauce for the lamb bratwurst became a product of its own, and the product became a gourmet manufactory that now produces five types of ketchup and supplies over 600 retailers. The spiced version is the original – the other varieties are variations of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tomatoes come from Northern Italy as double-concentrated paste; Sauerborn visited the supplier there himself. This high proportion is the foundation for everything else: color, consistency, and flavor come from the fruit rather than additives. Mixing, filling, and labeling are done by hand in Muschenheim, in small batches. The jar with the lamb on the stone is the trademark – the lamb for the bratwursts that started it all, the stone for the \"Heiliger Stein,\" the prehistoric stone monument on the edge of the village that gave the restaurant its name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the 2025 Great Taste Awards by the British Guild of Fine Food, the spiced ketchup received two stars, following a single star in 2021 – the jury praised the balance of acidity and sweetness and the \"gentle warm kick\" at the end. It is packaged in a jar with a metal lid instead of a plastic bottle – less out of principle than necessity: such a thick sauce could hardly be squeezed out of a bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAn everyday product you can give as a gift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost customers buy the spiced ketchup for themselves, and they come back for more. Two or three jars at a time is common because, as experience shows, the first one is emptied quickly. It is the jar that belongs on every table for the grilling season; in winter, it stands next to fried potatoes and scrambled eggs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone ordering it for the first time should best add the hot version to compare: the base is the same, the difference lies solely in the heat. This way, you can figure out which one is \"yours\" during a barbecue evening – for most, it remains the spiced one, with the hot one as a second jar for guests who like it hotter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt works as a gift precisely because of its unassuming nature: a jar of ketchup that surprises the recipient during their first barbecue. Together with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/ketchup-trueffelig\"\u003eTruffle Ketchup\u003c\/a\u003e, it makes a great small gift for people who usually think ketchup is just for kids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA ketchup from Lich that goes with almost everything – and which has permanently replaced the bottle for many of our customers.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ketchup zum heiligen Stein","offers":[{"title":"400 g","offer_id":57547984863564,"sku":"049ZGS0002","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1058\/3903\/4700\/files\/zum-heiligen-stein-ketchup-wuerzig.png?v=1788364084"},{"product_id":"ketchup-scharf","title":"Spicy ketchup","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSpicy Ketchup from Zum Heiligen Stein.

At Zum Heiligen Stein, it’s the other way around: the heat from the cayenne pepper is built into the same dense tomato base as the spicy original, with the same sweetness and the same fruity acidity. The result warms the back of the throat instead of burning the tongue – and lets the tomato take center stage. For us, it is the third of the three classic varieties, with almost as many orders as the mild one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHeat for the tomato, yet the tomato still comes first\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first spoonful is ketchup: thick, dark red, sweet, and tomato-forward. The heat arrives a second or two later from the cayenne pepper, and it lingers – but it never tips over into the kind of burning sensation you know from chili sauces. On a scale from mild to Habanero, it sits exactly where a good currywurst ketchup labeled \"spicy\" should: noticeable, too much for children, but just right for adults who like heat. Anyone looking for real fire will find it too tame – it is a ketchup and remains one; hot sauce is a different category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is the same as the manufactory's other varieties: double-concentrated tomato paste, which thickens the ketchup on its own, cane sugar, bell pepper, and a vinegar with raspberry juice that makes the acidity rounder than pure spirit vinegar. Together with the cayenne pepper, this results in a heat that feels fruity rather than sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne limit, as with all varieties: the sugar. About 36 grams per 100 grams are part of the recipe, and in a spicy ketchup, sweetness is the counterpart that carries the heat. It is not suitable for a sugar-reduced diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor steak, spareribs, and everything from the grill that can handle a counterpoint\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe spicy ketchup is the grill ketchup in our range. For neck steaks, spareribs, pulled pork, and bratwurst with bite, it provides what a BBQ sauce offers, only with more tomato and less smoke. On a burger, one tablespoon replaces ketchup, sauce, and jalapeños all in one. It pairs particularly well with pulled chicken in a bun, because the mild meat needs the heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eLess obvious, but good: with scrambled eggs and fried potatoes on Sundays. As a dip for baked potatoes with sour cream, where heat and coolness alternate. In the gravy for a beef roast – two tablespoons at the end adds tomato, sweetness, and a heat that no one will identify as ketchup. And as a marinade with oil, garlic, and a little honey for chicken wings that get crispy in the oven or on the grill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose who enjoy cooking use it as a seasoning rather than a sauce: a tablespoon in tomato soup adds heat and sweetness simultaneously, a spoonful in goulash sauce replaces tomato paste and chili, and in a pan with beans, corn, and ground meat, it is the shortcut to chili con carne. For cold dishes: stirred into cream cheese, it creates a spread that appeals more to adults than children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e For a quick currywurst sauce, heat two tablespoons of spicy ketchup with a teaspoon of curry powder and a splash of water.

Instead of mixing in a separate chili sauce, the cayenne pepper is part of the spice blend – this keeps the heat distributed throughout the ketchup so it tastes the same in every spoonful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tomato paste comes from Northern Italy and is double-concentrated; Sauerborn has visited the supplier himself. Around 400 grams of tomatoes go into every kilo of ketchup – the reason why the tomato provides the binding on its own and the ketchup is so dark and dense. Mixing, bottling, and labeling are done by hand at the manufactory in Lich near Gießen, in small batches. The lamb on the stone on the label is a nod to the bratwursts where it all began.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the 2025 Great Taste Awards by the British Guild of Fine Food, the spicy ketchup was awarded a star – like all five of the manufactory’s varieties this year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor barbecues, gifts for men, and everyone who finds normal ketchup too bland\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe spicy ketchup is the jar that empties first at a barbecue when guests who like heat are present.

It serves as a finishing condiment at the table, either as a dollop on the edge of the plate or drizzled over sliced meat. In English and American steakhouses, it is traditionally found alongside salt and pepper. \u003cstrong\u003eSteak Sauce from Eckart\u003c\/strong\u003e follows this idea with its own unique base: orange juice is the primary ingredient, complemented by tomato and dark beet syrup.

Soy sauce provides savory depth, while onions and garlic add spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe heat does not hit immediately. According to Eckart, it unfolds slowly and then lingers on the palate. On his scale, the sauce receives two chilies; he describes it as having a certain \"bite.\" Those expecting a very mild sauce would be better served with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tomatenketchup\"\u003etomato ketchup\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor steak and far beyond\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe name says what it is made for. Whether serving rump steak, entrecôte, or sirloin from the grill or pan, place a spoonful on the edge of your plate. This keeps the meat just as it is, allowing you to add as much sauce as you like with each bite. For sliced flank steak or tagliata, serve it in a small bowl on the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEckart explicitly describes the sauce as universally applicable. It pairs just as well with grilled chicken, meatballs, or pan-fried dishes. On a sandwich with cold roast beef, it replaces mustard or remoulade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it is vegan, it also tastes great with grilled vegetables, mushrooms, or tofu from the grill. As a dip for veggie sticks or baked potatoes, it's quickly ready to serve. And for fried potatoes with a fried egg, a dollop adds a bit of heat to the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Let the steak rest for a few minutes after frying before adding the sauce.

At Eckart's, the answer is right on the bottle: his sauces are rated from zero to three chilies. A hot BBQ sauce is initially a standard BBQ sauce made from tomatoes, vinegar, and spices. It is the chilies that give it the heat that slowly spreads across the palate. This is due to capsaicin, the substance the tongue perceives as heat or burning. \u003cstrong\u003eEckart’s Hot BBQ Sauce\u003c\/strong\u003e is based on the recipe for his mild BBQ sauce and adds four types of chili.

Eckart describes the blend of four varieties as balanced; it warms without masking the flavor. Those expecting a burning hot sauce will find this to be more of a light, pleasant heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the base is the same as the mild BBQ sauce, you will taste the difference immediately.

The vermouth gets its name from wormwood (*Wermut*). At HELMUT, the ratio is three to one: 75% wine from the Palatinate, 25% handmade herbal and fruit extracts. Saturday evening, the guests are still in the kitchen, dinner needs ten minutes. You put ice in a glass, pour the Red over it, and add a slice of orange. The start of the evening needs nothing more.

The strength of this wine supports the herbal tartness rather than being overpowered by it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn total, every bottle contains 25 ingredients. You won't pick them out individually; together they create the profile of a spicy, berry-forward red with noticeable bite. Helmut Wermut describes it as a bold vermouth for courageous palates.

For the summer, there is the HELMUT Spritz Red. For this, pour 5 cl of the Red over ice, topped with 5 to 10 cl of ginger ale, and add fresh mint. The ginger in the ale picks up the spice of the bay leaf and rosemary, while the mint makes the glass refreshing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a cocktail, the Red shows what it was built for. According to the producer, it pairs well with classics like the Negroni and Manhattan. For the HELMUT Negroni, stir 3 cl of HELMUT the Red, 3 cl of red bitter aperitif, and 3 cl of gin in a mixing glass with plenty of ice until cold.

It was founded by Markus Weiß, who became acquainted with the local vermouth culture during a multi-year stay in Barcelona.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBack in Germany, he wanted to create a modern German vermouth: handmade, with domestic herbs and regional wines that you can actually taste. Vermouth had a rather poor reputation here, and he wanted to change that. After two years of recipe development, during which around 80 herbs were tested, HELMUT launched at the end of 2017. The name was chosen deliberately as quintessentially German, with a wink. Today, Markus Weiß runs the company together with Olina Kladensky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach variety has its own wine cuvée from the Bergdolt-Reif \u0026amp; Nett winery in Duttweiler, Palatinate; for the Red, it is the Dornfelder-based cuvée. The 25 ingredients are prepared by hand—peeled, cut, ground, or plucked—and then macerated in alcohol for at least five weeks. Afterward, they are carefully pressed or centrifuged. The finished tincture is blended with the wine in the Palatinate and bottled there. The producer works exclusively with real herbs and fruits; artificial additives are taboo. According to the manufacturer, HELMUT is vegan. Because the vermouth is only gently filtered, natural sediments may appear in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHELMUT the Red is the vermouth for anyone who stirs their own Negroni and is looking for a red vermouth with character for the task.

The base is wine, to which extracts of herbs, blossoms, fruits, and spices are added, infused in alcohol. This makes vermouth both spiced and fortified with alcohol. The drink gets its name from wormwood (*Wermut*). Many people associate vermouth with a dusty bottle from a home bar and a bitter, heavy taste. HELMUT has set out specifically to counter this reputation. Der Weiße demonstrates this most clearly: it smells of orange blossom and lavender, tastes light and fresh, and, according to its makers, has only a few bitter notes. Of the three varieties, it is the most refined and a good entry point for those who have previously avoided vermouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDer Weiße tastes of the mild sweetness of orange blossom, lavender, and fresh meadow herbs.

The blossoms define the scent, while the meadow herbs add freshness. The base is a delicately fruity cuvée of Riesling and Müller-Thurgau from the Bergdolt-Reif \u0026amp; Nett winery.

Compared to \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/helmut-der-rote\"\u003eHELMUT der Rote\u003c\/a\u003e with blackberry, bay leaf, and rosemary, Der Weiße is light, floral, and restrained.

The brand was founded by Markus Weiß, who discovered and came to appreciate vermouth culture during a multi-year stay in Barcelona.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis idea: a modern German vermouth, handmade, from local herbs and regional wines that you can actually taste. After two years of recipe development with around 30 revisions, HELMUT launched at the end of 2017. The strictly German name was chosen intentionally, with a contemporary wink. Today, Markus Weiß and Olina Kladensky run the company together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is supplied by the Bergdolt-Reif \u0026amp; Nett winery in Duttweiler, Palatinate, with a custom cuvée for each variety. For Der Weiße, it is the cuvée of Riesling and Müller-Thurgau. The 25 ingredients are prepared by hand in Hamburg—peeled, cut, ground, or plucked. They then infuse in alcohol for at least five weeks and are carefully pressed or centrifuged. In the Palatinate, the tincture is then combined with the wine and bottled. Helmut Wermut works exclusively with real herbs and fruits; artificial additives are taboo for the producer. According to the manufacturer, HELMUT is vegan, as no animal-based fining agents are used in either the wine or the tincture. Because HELMUT is only gently filtered, natural suspended matter may appear in the bottle. This is intentional, as the producer notes that full filtration would cost the drink its flavor and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDer Weiße is the vermouth for anyone looking for a light, floral aperitif who doesn't care much for bitterness.

The colder the schnapps, the less of the wood you will taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA small glass served neat is its classic place after a hearty meal, after hiking, or in the evening at the hut. The manufacturer recommends it as a digestif and in fresh long drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe simplest long drink is the Spruce Tonic: Ice in the glass, 5 cl of Spruce Forest Spruce Spirit, and 150 ml of tonic water on top. A pinch of pepper on top and a sprig of fresh rosemary for garnish. The tonic highlights the wood note, and the pepper adds a little kick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the Advent season, STILVOL. mixes a Spruce Spritz. For this, pour one to two centiliters of spruce spirit and 8 cl of rosé sparkling wine into a coupe or sparkling wine glass. Stir once and add a fresh sprig of spruce. This is an aperitif for Christmas Eve with the family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe STILVOL. team's favorite is the Dry Forest Martini. Instead of gin, 5 cl of spruce spirit and 4 cl of white vermouth are combined with ice in a mixing glass or shaker. Stir or shake briefly, then strain into a chilled martini glass. Green olives or a lemon zest go well with it. If the drink is too bitter for you, simply use a little less vermouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can store the bottle for a long time: Schnapps has no best-before date and does not go bad. To keep the forest aroma for as long as possible, STILVOL. recommends storing the bottle in a dark, cool place, such as in a cupboard rather than on a sunny windowsill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e For the Spruce Tonic, put a few glasses in the freezer for an hour.

The name says it all. Annkathrin and Holger Weiß tend to meadow orchards in the Wetterau with old-growth trees and keep bee colonies whose hives are located right on these meadows. The apples are used to make the vinegar, and the nectar from the blossoms is used to make, among other things, the honey. In this balsamic, the two come together. But what actually constitutes a \"balsamic\"? You likely know the word from Aceto Balsamico di Modena, which is made from grape must. An apple balsamic adopts the concept, not the grape: it is a vinegar made from apples that tastes rounder, fruitier, and milder than standard apple cider vinegar. According to the producer, Heldenberger Apfelbiene makes it using a traditional method, without additives. The honey variant contains 8% honey from their own organic apiary. For us, it is the best-seller of the two Heldenberger bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Apple Balsamic with Honey tastes mild, fruity, and delicately sweet. The producer describes it as follows: The honey gives the vinegar a special mildness and subtle sweetness. In the glass, it smells of ripe apples, with a warm, slightly floral note from the honey. On the palate, you first notice the fruit, followed by a soft acidity that remains rounded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith 5% acidity, it falls into the range of a classic table vinegar. Nevertheless, the honey makes it feel gentler than the version without honey. The sweetness balances the acidity without making the vinegar syrupy. The apple remains the star of the show. A slight honey note lingers in the finish, which pairs well with salads featuring nuts or cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe apples give the vinegar its depth. The producer mentions heritage varieties such as Gravensteiner, Kaiser Wilhelm, and Boskoop. Gravensteiner is considered aromatic and fragrant, Boskoop firm and tart, and Kaiser Wilhelm sweet-and-sour. This blend creates an apple flavor that is more multi-layered than one from a single table apple variety. Anyone expecting a dark, viscous balsamic in the Modena style will find this vinegar too light and airy. For everyone else, it is precisely this freshness that is so appealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe producer recommends Apple Balsamic with Honey for fresh summer salads and for seasoning savory dishes. For a simple vinaigrette, use one part balsamic, two to three parts oil, and a little salt and pepper. Because the honey is already in the vinegar, it takes care of the sweetening. A teaspoon of mustard will make the dressing creamier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn summer, it pairs well with tomato salad, cucumber salad, arugula with strawberries, or a salad with grilled halloumi. In autumn and winter, it goes well with lamb's lettuce with walnuts and pear, pumpkin or beetroot salad, and lentil salad. A splash on roasted oven vegetables, fried potatoes, or Brussels sprouts elevates the flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also serves well in cooking. Use a dash to season red cabbage, lentil soup, or a gravy instead of adding sugar and vinegar separately. Use it to deglaze onions for an onion confit or add it to a pan with fried liver and apple slices. On a cheese board, you can drizzle a few drops over goat cheese or an aged Gouda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStore the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dark place.

In the glass, you will find roasted nut and delicate nuances of chocolate and nougat, to be enjoyed neat, in coffee, or with dessert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHazelnut Spirit 500 ml from Kölsche Kopfnuss\u003c\/strong\u003e is the bottle that stays in the cupboard for when things get spontaneous. It’s Sunday afternoon, the doorbell rings, guests with cake arrive. The espresso is already brewing, and the Kopfnuss is ready in the home bar. A hazelnut spirit is a distillate that tastes of roasted hazelnuts and lies in sweetness between a schnapps and a liqueur. The Kopfnuss is very popular with us. The 500 ml bottle lasts the longest: at 2 cl per glass, that's around 25 servings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRoasted hazelnut up front, followed by chocolate, nougat, and caramel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kopfnuss tastes primarily of roasted hazelnuts. Behind that come fine nuances of chocolate, nougat, and caramel. The aroma is delicately sweet, the color a rich golden yellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is a hazelnut distillate made from roasted hazelnuts, with caramel added. The composition is aged until the aroma and taste are distinct and, according to the manufacturer, the alcohol is harmoniously integrated. It remains, however, a spirit with 40% ABV and belongs in small glasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRoasting defines the character: anyone who has ever roasted hazelnuts in the oven knows this warm, slightly sweet scent. That is exactly what the Kopfnuss draws on. Smell the glass before you take your first sip. The delicately sweet aroma will show you what to expect. When drinking, the roasted nut note is at the forefront, while chocolate, nougat, and caramel follow more quietly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are expecting a sweet liqueur, you will get something else here: a delicately sweet, clearly nutty spirit. The manufacturer explicitly markets it for hazelnut purists for whom a classic liqueur is too sweet. Compared to a schnapps, it is milder and smoother.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNeat at room temperature, chilled, or as a Kölsche Mélange\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe easiest way to drink the Kopfnuss is neat: 2 cl in a small glass, at room temperature or chilled. It is a spirit with 40% ABV and is for those aged 18 and over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer's serving suggestion is called Kölsche Mélange: espresso with Kölsche Kopfnuss and milk foam. It goes as well with Sunday cake as it does at the end of a meal when the coffee is served. A regular filter coffee can also handle a small splash, just without the foam. If you like coffee with milk, add the Kopfnuss to the cup first and fill it up afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor dessert, a small splash works well over vanilla ice cream or next to a piece of chocolate cake. Nut, chocolate, and caramel belong together anyway, and the Kopfnuss brings all three. A glass goes well with a bowl of roasted nuts on an Advent afternoon, and a splash can be added to the whipped cream for a nut cake in the kitchen. The dough for nut cookies can also take a splash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the bottle lasts a long time, you can try the variations one after the other. One week neat after dinner, one week in coffee, and during Advent over ice cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm the cup before making the Kölsche Mélange and briefly stir the Kopfnuss and espresso together. Only then add the milk foam on top so that it sits neatly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChristmas market idea, in small batches since 2015\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe story of the Kopfnuss began with an idea for the Cologne Christmas markets. Founder David Beil wanted to develop a drink for them, a hazelnut spirit with 40% ABV from the Cologne area. The idea became concrete after an evening in his favorite bar, after which he spent months working on the recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 2015, the Kopfnuss has been produced in small batches in collaboration with a regional distillery. The company is located at Brauweilerstraße 49c in 50259 Pulheim. Small batches mean manageable quantities per production run. According to the manufacturer, the aging period is determined by when the aroma and taste have fully developed, rather than by a fixed date. The spirit is available in three sizes: 500 ml, 200 ml, and as a 40 ml shooter for tasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500 ml bottle is the size for anyone who already knows the Kopfnuss and pours it regularly. If you are trying it for the first time, you will find the matching smaller format below. For the Advent season, for which the idea was originally intended, the large bottle is the practical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor the home bar: a supply of around 25 glasses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500 ml bottle is for households where the Kopfnuss is regularly served. This applies after dinner, with Sunday coffee, and as an ingredient for Christmas dessert. Expect around 25 glasses of 2 cl each. That is enough for an Advent season with guests and for a supply that will still be in the cupboard afterwards. If you often have guests over for coffee, keep it within reach next to the cups. A glass to go with an espresso is quickly poured, and a coffee gathering is rounded off with a nutty note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe large bottle also suits people who love to entertain. A glass with coffee after dinner, a splash over dessert, along with the story of the Christmas market idea: that is a conversation starter that the guest gets right along with their drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you first want to know if the roasted nut note is for you, start with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/haselnuss-spirituose-40ml\"\u003eHazelnut Spirit in the 40 ml format\u003c\/a\u003e.

Organic drink syrup for mixing your own tonic water – with cinchona bark, citrus, and a dry-bitter profile.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epHenomenal Organic Tonic Syrup\u003c\/strong\u003e is an organic drink syrup from Hamburg-based pHenomenal Drinks that lets you mix your own tonic water. It is based on cinchona bark, organic citrus juices, and organic agave syrup, and is alcohol-free and vegan. 250 ml is enough for twelve long drinks. Not a pre-mixed tonic, not refined sugar – a concentrate for mixing your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Organic Tonic Syrup from pHenomenal\u003c\/strong\u003e is the essence of tonic water before the water and carbonation are added. Tonic water is a quinine-containing lemonade whose characteristic bitterness comes from the bark of the cinchona tree. With pHenomenal, you get this lemonade as a syrup: you mix it with sparkling water right in the glass. The idea behind it is simple. In a gin and tonic, the majority of the liquid is the tonic, not the gin. Hendrik Schaulin, founder of pHenomenal Drinks, no longer wanted to let good craft gins disappear under industrially produced, often overly sweet tonic water. That is why he developed a syrup that remains deliberately dry and finely balances its bitter notes. One side effect: according to the manufacturer, one bottle replaces eight to ten small tonic bottles. This saves space in the fridge and a lot of glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tonic syrup tastes of clear tonic bitterness with plenty of citrus fruit. In the glass, it appears orange to amber in color; the aroma is dominated by citrus and bitter orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bitter notes come from real cinchona bark. Added to this, orange, lemon, lime, and grapefruit bring the full spectrum of citrus fruits into the glass. The manufacturer also describes an ethereal note of lemongrass. The result is more complex than a standard tonic, yet remains reserved enough to let your gin's botanicals shine through. That was precisely the point of its development: the tonic should accompany the gin and leave it room to breathe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe syrup is sweetened with organic agave syrup, which is the second ingredient after water. Undiluted, the concentrate is therefore sweet and bitter at the same time. Diluted at a ratio of 5 to 1, the finished tonic contains 5.9 g of sugar per 100 ml, according to the manufacturer. Tartaric acid is used for acidity instead of citric acid. Anyone expecting a sweet, intensely fizzy tonic from a bottle will find the pHenomenal tonic tart and dry. This is intentional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUse\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a tonic water, mix 2 cl of syrup with 10 cl of sparkling mineral water. This corresponds to the 1 to 5 ratio recommended by the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a gin and tonic according to pHenomenal's house recipe, pour 10 cl of highly carbonated mineral water or tap water from a soda maker into the glass. Add 2 cl of tonic syrup and 4 cl of gin. Stir carefully so the carbonation remains in the glass. Ice cubes and a slice of lemon, lime, or cucumber finish the long drink. You are free to choose your gin: the manufacturer suggests one to three parts gin to the finished tonic as a guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEntirely without alcohol, the syrup becomes a refreshingly bitter lemonade. It also works well with white port or vermouth, and with an espresso over ice, you get an espresso tonic. Because the syrup also tastes good undiluted, you can use it to add tonic notes to iced tea, cold brew coffee, sorbets, or a salad dressing. According to the manufacturer, it is also suitable for cooking and baking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen mixing, the order makes a difference. First put the water in the glass, then carefully add the syrup, and only then stir. This preserves the carbonation and ensures the syrup is distributed evenly. pHenomenal demonstrates this process in four steps, measuring the water in a scale-marked Erlenmeyer flask. This makes it easy to measure 100 ml, and the tonic immediately looks like it belongs in a home bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e With the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/2cl-glasdosierer-im-karton\"\u003e2cl glass dispenser\u003c\/a\u003e, you will get exactly 2 cl every time.

The owner and developer is Hendrik Schaulin, who founded the brand in 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea was born at the end of 2012 after an evening at a favorite bar. Hendrik Schaulin found a recipe for homemade tonic water, ordered cinchona bark, and began experimenting with his friend Peter Hundert. The first prototype was soon ready in the kitchen. Schaulin studied fashion design in Paris and worked for many years as a stylist for fashion and advertising clients. His enthusiasm for bars and cocktails has been with him for a long time, along with a growing collection of old bar books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cinchona bark for the tonic comes from Ecuador and the Congo. pHenomenal extracts the bitter substance itself: the bark is boiled with spices like a bitter tea and carefully filtered. Added to this are organic direct juices of orange, lemon, lime, and grapefruit. The syrup is handmade in Hamburg and is organic-certified, eco-control body DE-ÖKO-039. pHenomenal Drinks is a member of Slow Food Germany. A year after the tonic, the ginger syrup was added, followed later by ready-to-serve cocktails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tonic syrup is for everyone who wants to take control of their own gin and tonic.

It also fits into small kitchens where there is no room for crates of tonic bottles. And it is a great gift for hosts who enjoy standing at the home bar.

In English, ginger beer is quite different from ginger ale. Ginger ale is a rather mild, floral lemonade, while ginger beer stands for a drink with clear ginger heat and fruitiness. That is exactly where this syrup comes in. When pHenomenal developed it in 2013, the goal, according to the manufacturer, was: plenty of fresh organic ginger, good heat, and less sweetness. Fermented ginger beer in the old-fashioned homemade style would have been one option. However, that does not fit well with German food law, and fermenting bottles can even burst during transport. That is why Hendrik Schaulin decided on a syrup. It saves bottles and fridge space and lets you determine the intensity of the drink yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ginger syrup has a distinct ginger taste, spicy and with notes of orange. Its color is golden yellow, and the aroma features ginger and orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost a third of the syrup is freshly pressed organic ginger juice. The orange juice rounds off the heat and adds fruitiness to the glass. Spice extracts and a pinch of salt give the syrup depth, while tartaric acid provides a fresh acidity. This heat comes solely from the ginger; pHenomenal deliberately avoids the use of chili tincture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe syrup is sweetened with organic agave syrup, which is the first ingredient on the list. In its concentrated form, it is therefore both sweet and spicy. Only when mixed with water does the drink emerge that the manufacturer intended: spicy and fruity, but less sweet than many ginger lemonades. You decide how strong it gets based on the ratio of syrup to water. Anyone expecting a gentle, mild ginger lemonade will find the ginger syrup quite potent. In that case, a splash more water helps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a ginger lemonade, mix 2 cl of syrup with 10 cl of sparkling mineral water, a 1:5 ratio.

With a little more water, the drink becomes milder and approaches a ginger ale. With a splash more syrup, it becomes spicier and fruitier. This allows you to mix the perfect strength for any occasion, from an aperitif to a long drink late in the evening. According to the manufacturer, a 250 ml bottle is enough for twelve drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the manufacturer, the ginger syrup is primarily intended as a mixer for spirits. It adds savory heat to a long drink without masking the taste of the spirit. The classics are the Moscow Mule with vodka, the Dark \u0026amp; Stormy with rum, and the London Buck with gin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003epHenomenal also recommends the syrup for fruit brandies, such as pear brandy, plum schnapps, or cherry brandy. The fruit of the brandies and the heat of the ginger complement each other well. As an alcohol-free option, the ginger lemonade is a great accompaniment to food. Diluted with hot water, the syrup becomes a ginger infusion for cold days. In the kitchen, you can use it for Asian wok dishes, crumbles, and baking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/2cl-glasdosierer-im-karton\"\u003e2 cl glass dispenser\u003c\/a\u003e directly onto the bottle.

When they were looking for ginger beer for their Dark \u0026amp; Stormy a year later, they were disappointed by what was available. They wanted real ginger taste, real heat, and less sugar. The solution was their own syrup based on fresh organic ginger juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ginger for the syrup is organic ginger from Peru and Uganda. It is freshly pressed in Southern Germany. Instead of citric acid, pHenomenal relies on tartaric acid, which is derived from wine production. The manufacturer uses direct organic juices for fruitiness and acidity. The syrup is handmade in Hamburg and is organic-certified by the eco-inspection body DE-ÖKO-039. pHenomenal Drinks is a member of Slow Food Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhy syrup instead of pre-mixed lemonade? For pHenomenal, it is a matter of conviction. A syrup weighs less than ready-made lemonade, requires less packaging, and causes fewer transport emissions. The recommended 5:1 mixing ratio allows for the use of real ingredients instead of relying on flavorings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ginger syrup is for everyone who really wants to taste ginger.

Fruity fruit vinegar made from apple cider – handmade in Styria, for salads, marinades, and sauces.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGruber's Apple Vinegar\u003c\/strong\u003e is a fruity vinegar made from apple cider by Gruber's Fruchtzauberei in Reigersberg near Ilz in Eastern Styria. The ingredient list mentions only apple cider; it is made by hand and bottled in 500-ml bottles. A vinegar for everyday cooking: acidic and fruity, without the sweetness of a balsamic vinegar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApple vinegar from Gruber's Fruchtzauberei\u003c\/strong\u003e is the kind of vinegar that Styrian cuisine needs every day. Basically, a fruit vinegar like this is created in two steps. First, the sugar in the apple ferments into alcohol, then acetic acid bacteria convert the alcohol into acetic acid. What ends up in the bottle depends heavily on the starting product. Here, it is apple cider (Apfelmost). The word \"Most\" can be misleading in Germany: there, it often refers to freshly pressed juice. In Austria, however, \"Most\" usually refers to fermented apple or pear wine. The producer describes their vinegar simply as a fruity vinegar made from juicy apples. That is exactly how you should use it: wherever a dish needs acidity and can handle a little fruitiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn apple-based vinegar is the friendly side of acidity. Compared to a light distilled vinegar, it feels rounder because of the apple notes. Compared to a white wine vinegar, it is softer and fruitier. Upon opening the bottle, a scent of apple rises, followed by a fresh, lively acidity on the palate. The apple remains noticeable in the background, giving the vinegar depth without making it sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis balance makes it versatile. In salads, it provides freshness; in sauces, it highlights other ingredients; and in marinades, it provides a subtle acidity. It is an everyday vinegar, not one for a special final touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor that final touch, the same producer offers \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/apfel-balsam-essig\"\u003eApple Balsamic Vinegar\u003c\/a\u003e. It is aged for a long time in oak barrels and has a slightly sweet taste. The apple cider vinegar is its uncomplicated sibling, leaner in character and made for the large quantities needed in everyday life. If you are looking for a thick, sweet vinegar for drizzling, you are better off choosing the balsamic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUse\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Styria, apple vinegar and pumpkin seed oil go together like bread and butter. The classic Styrian salad marinade needs little else: vinegar, dark green seed oil, salt, and a pinch of sugar if needed. Use this to dress \"Vogerlsalat,\" which is what lamb's lettuce is called in Austria. \"Käferbohnen\" salad with red onions also gets its typical flavor this way. Käferbohnen are large, speckled beans with a long tradition in Styria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Erdäpfelsalat\"—Austrian-style potato salad—also relies on this vinegar. Boil the potatoes, slice them while still warm, and pour over a marinade of broth, vinegar, salt, pepper, and a little mustard. After half an hour, the acidity has soaked in, and then you add the oil and chives. Cucumber salad with dill or coleslaw with caraway works the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn warm cooking, you use the vinegar to season dishes. A splash in lentil soup, cream goulash, or paprika sauce clarifies the flavor. A tomato sauce that has turned out too flat or sweet gains more profile with a teaspoon of vinegar. Red cabbage and sauerkraut also benefit from a small splash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also well-suited for marinating. For pork tenderloin, mix the vinegar with dark beer, mustard, garlic, and a little honey. Let the meat soak in it for a few hours before putting it in the pan or on the grill. For quick pickling, briefly boil vinegar, water, sugar, and salt, and pour the brine over thinly sliced red onions or radishes. After an hour in the fridge, they are ready and go well with burgers, bowls, and \"Brettljause\" snack platters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stir a tablespoon of vinegar with a pinch of salt until the salt has dissolved, and only then add two tablespoons of pumpkin seed oil. This distributes the salt evenly, and the seed oil retains its nutty aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis vinegar comes from a fruit farm in Reigersberg near Ilz in Eastern Styria, where apples have been the focus for over thirty years. Gruber's Fruchtzauberei is a small family business surrounded by fruit trees, berries, and herbs. Its history dates back to 1860. In the early 1990s, it converted to fruit farming with the goal of producing particularly high-quality apples. This branch of the business still exists today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA few years later, René Gruber and Beatrix founded \"Fruchtzauberei\" as their own business name. René Gruber is a master fruit grower and oversees the cultivation of the various fruit varieties. The processing is handled by Beatrix, who is a chef. In addition to vinegar, their kitchen produces jams, chutneys, barbecue sauces, and pestos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWork is done by hand, and the farm sells its products in its own farm shop and selected stores. Recipes are created through joint tasting and experimentation until the flavor is just right. The farm's motto summarizes its stance concisely: \"Quality over quantity.\" For vinegar, this means a short list of ingredients and a vinegar that should taste like apple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis vinegar is for everyone who cooks daily and wants a reliable vinegar in their cupboard. It is suitable for people who enjoy eating salads and mixing their own dressings, and for anyone who loves Styrian cuisine with seed oil. It is a good starting point for beginners in the world of fruit vinegars because it can be used everywhere. The 500-ml bottle is enough for many salads and is large enough for a family kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a gift, it works well together with a bottle of pumpkin seed oil: two ingredients for a Styrian salad. For pasta or roasted vegetables, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/walnusspesto\"\u003eWalnut Pesto\u003c\/a\u003e from the same producer is a good choice, which you can thin out into a dressing with a splash of vinegar.

There are sweet grapes and horseradish with its sharpness that tickles the nose. Kren is the Austrian word for horseradish. It is a staple with Tafelspitz (boiled beef), on a snack platter, or with Easter ham, usually freshly grated or as apple-horseradish. In this jar, it meets grape pulp, which softens its pungency. The result is a chutney that tastes fruity and sweet at first and only later reveals its temperament. The appeal lies in the interplay: the grape provides sweetness and fruit, the horseradish provides the spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first impression is sweet and grape-forward, almost like a fruit spread. Then the horseradish kicks in. Its heat is pleasant, tingling briefly in the nose before subsiding. The malic acid keeps the entire flavor profile fresh so the sweetness never feels heavy. The consistency is set and spreadable, easy to spoon and perfect for bread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis distinguishes it clearly from the other chutneys from Reigersberg. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/ribisel-chutney\"\u003eRed Currant Chutney\u003c\/a\u003e is more tart and gets its heat from ginger. The medlar chutney is sweet-and-sour and pleasantly spiced. Here, the heat comes solely from the horseradish, remaining a warmth that flares up briefly. Those expecting a very sharp horseradish paste will find this chutney rather mild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer recommends the chutney with cheese, beef dishes, schnitzel, and simply on bread. Served with Tafelspitz or boiled beef, it replaces the classic apple-horseradish and brings more fruit to the plate. A spoonful straight from the jar also pairs well with a roast beef dinner or a cold roast beef sandwich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Austria, a small bowl of cranberries is traditionally served alongside Wiener Schnitzel or Backhendl (breaded fried chicken). This chutney is a sweet-and-spicy alternative. On a cheese board, it goes well with robust mountain cheese, aged Gouda, and spicy semi-hard cheese. And on a buttered slice of bread with ham or smoked pork, it adds fruit and spice to a simple snack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stir a spoonful of chutney into crème fraîche and serve it as a dip for smoked trout or smoked salmon.

The label reads \"spirit\" and includes the sentence \"Made from delicious pistachios of the sumac family.\" The distillery calls this variety \"the princess\" and writes that it crowns their range of nut spirits. The pistachio is native to the Middle East, eaten as a snack, and is particularly popular in confectionery and gelato. Nutsler Pistachio brings this very world into a clear schnapps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePistachio forward, marzipan in the background, smooth to the end\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nutsler tastes full-bodied of pistachio, accompanied by light almond and marzipan notes, mild and slightly sweet.

On their previous website, they spoke of bold, spicy, and almond-like aromas. In the glass, this results in a round, harmonious spirit with a subtle sweetness. If you are expecting a thick, green pistachio cream liqueur, you are in the wrong place: this schnapps is clear and stays true to the nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNeat after a meal, with espresso, or alongside pistachio ice cream\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrink this nut schnapps as a shot, after a meal, or with a beer; this is Nutsler's recommendation for all their varieties.

The distillery does not specify a drinking temperature, so try it at room temperature and slightly chilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the pistachio is so closely linked to the world of patisserie, this schnapps pairs well with dessert: next to pistachio ice cream, almond cookies, cantuccini, or a piece of marzipan cake.

Their goal was to capture the exotic flesh of the coconut as a flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTropical and fresh, with a balanced, light sweetness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNutsler Coconut tastes exotic and fresh like natural coconut, with a light sweetness and a smooth mouthfeel. Nutsler describes the sweetness as balanced and brought into a harmonious equilibrium. Clear in the glass, creamy on the palate – that sums up the impression. The coconut note is at the forefront, supported by the soft sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn terms of recipes, Nutsler consciously draws inspiration from the art of baking. The distillery combines the associations with the coconut into a unique composition. Nutsler Coconut is not a thick liqueur with an intense sugary taste: the sweetness remains light, and the alcohol carries it at 35% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNeat at room temperature or in a Colada cocktail instead of white rum\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe distillery recommends drinking this coconut spirit neat at room temperature in a small glass. As Nutsler suggests for all their varieties, it also works well as a shot after a meal or with a beer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn cocktails, it is a great base for anything containing coconut. In a classic Piña Colada or a Blue Hawaii, it replaces white rum. In long drinks with coconut cream, you can use it instead of a clear distillate like vodka. Furthermore, Nutsler suggests a Swimming Pool with this clear coconut water. It is a spirit with 35% ABV; sale is permitted to those 18 and older.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mix a Piña Colada for your guests using Nutsler Coconut instead of rum and serve a small glass of the pure schnapps alongside it. That way, everyone can taste where the coconut note in the cocktail comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDistilled in the Black Forest, blended in Berlin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe coconut spirit is created in a copper pot still, which distiller Bernd Schrempp built himself during his classic apprenticeship in the Black Forest. According to Nutsler, the craft of fruit distilling has been passed down there for over three hundred years. The team in Berlin developed the recipes through numerous tastings with bartenders and restaurateurs. The motto is on every label: \"Heartcrafted in the Black Forest. Tasted in Berlin.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBehind this is Nutsler Spirituosen GmbH from Schutterwald in the Ortenau region, on the market since 2019. The distillery specializes entirely in nuts and aims to adapt traditional tastes to modern times and discover new ones. The coconut represents the exotic side of the range; Nutsler itself calls the variety \"the exotic one.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor cocktail fans and anyone who loves coconut\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe coconut spirit is perfect for anyone who loves coconut in pastries, chocolates, and cocktails. Those looking for an alternative to white rum for their home bar will also find what they are looking for here. The bottle is a great choice for a summer evening on the balcony or as a gift for a garden party.

No caramel coloring, no artificial smoke flavoring, no flavor enhancers – two ingredients are all it takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBalsamico Südpfalz by Lang Weinessig\u003c\/strong\u003e is a balsamic vinegar—a dark vinegar that combines sweetness and acidity in one bottle. The Gommersheim-based producer views it as the Palatine answer to the Italian classic. The concept is the same, the grapes come from the region, and the woody notes come from the barrels. It has been our top seller from Lang Weinessig for years, making it one of the most frequently ordered bottles from the South Palatinate in our assortment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarm sweetness, dark berries, and a balanced acidity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis balsamic vinegar tastes sweet at first, followed by a spicy note. The sweetness originates from the reduced grape must and has a smooth quality. Behind it, you will find notes of dark berries and a balanced acidity that provides structure to the sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAging in oak and chestnut barrels introduces woody notes. They make the flavor rounder and provide a depth that a young vinegar would first have to develop. The producer describes its character as having a unique Palatine identity: regionally influenced, yet serving as an *aceto* you can use just like a classic one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis balsamic is intended as an everyday vinegar. Reach for it when a salad, sauce, or roasted vegetable medley needs a dark, rounded accent. The bottle comes with a practical pouring spout for precise dosing, so not a single drop is wasted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to a light wine vinegar, it is milder and sweeter. Anyone who usually works with a clear vinegar will gain a darker, rounder note in their salads and sauces with this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eArugula, beetroot, game sauce – and strawberries for dessert\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis balsamic vinegar is an all-rounder for both savory and sweet dishes. It is simplest to use in a salad: one tablespoon of balsamic, three tablespoons of oil, salt, and pepper—and your vinaigrette is ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts subtle sweetness pairs well with bitter arugula and earthy beetroot salad with feta. Hearty leafy salads with nuts also gain character from it. Drizzle grilled summer vegetables like zucchini, peppers, or eggplant while still hot so the vinegar can soak in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the kitchen, it belongs in dark sauces. A splash in a sauce for a game dish or in a game ragout adds acidity and depth. Its spiciness also pairs well with a tuna steak; a few drops just before serving are sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen there are the desserts. This balsamic harmonizes particularly well with strawberries. Try it with a semolina pudding with strawberries or in a balsamic vinaigrette for an asparagus salad with strawberries. For a marinade, mix it with oil, mustard, and herbs, and let vegetables or meat marinate for an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding dosage: For a salad for two people, one tablespoon is enough. When using in sauces, add the balsamic only at the end so the acidity remains fresh, and taste after every splash. A quick drizzle from the spout is enough for vegetables from the oven or grill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drizzle a small splash of balsamic over sliced strawberries and let them stand for ten minutes. The fruit will release its juices, and the sweetness will deepen. For very ripe strawberries, a few drops are sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe balsamic is not suitable for dishes that need to remain light in color. It will turn fish fillets, cauliflower, or a light cream sauce dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo ingredients, a barrel, and a chef from Gommersheim\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLang Weinessig is a producer based in Gommersheim in the South Palatinate. It was founded by Jens Michael Lang, a trained chef who learned his craft in star-rated kitchens and discovered his passion for vinegar there. For over ten years, he has been producing wine vinegars, vinaigrettes, fruit balsams, and ready-made salad dressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith his balsamic vinegar, he sticks to the basics: reduced grape must and wine vinegar. There is nothing else in the bottle. The producer focuses on using raw materials from the region whenever possible, and many of their vinegars are based on wines from a certified organic winery in the South Palatinate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottle contains 250 ml, which is enough for many salads and several game dishes. You will find it in our assortment alongside the vinaigrettes, fruit balsams, and dressings from Lang, all of which are created at the same facility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat defines this vinegar is the time spent in the wood. Oak and chestnut barrels give it the notes that define its taste. The balsamic unfolds its aroma through the aging process. This aligns with Lang's philosophy: he wants people to discover high-quality products and authentic flavors in their everyday lives as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to try it first, it is also available in a smaller format.

It is just as suitable for a salad bowl on a Wednesday as it is for a roast on a Sunday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who prefer mixing their own vinaigrette, this provides the perfect foundation, as a good vinegar does half the work.

You don't need more than this bottle and a good oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a gift, it is perfect for hobby cooks who have olive oil in the cupboard and are now looking for a good vinegar to go with it.

The manufacturer calls it oriental-spicy, which is an accurate description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dornfelder provides the dark, bold red wine note. The date adds a soft, fruity sweetness, onion and mustard provide background spice, and the tomato paste rounds it off. The red wine vinegar keeps the sweetness in balance, ensuring a fresh acidity remains at the end. The flavor is full, but not heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe consistency is slightly creamy. It clings to bread, vegetable sticks and pieces of meat.

This goes well with lamb's lettuce, arugula, beetroot or a salad with goat cheese and nuts. Hearty leaves stand up well to the dark spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the grill, brush chicken legs, pork neck or ribs with the sauce in the final minutes. The manufacturer explicitly describes it as a BBQ sauce, and the dates give the meat a dark, sweet crust on the outside. It also works well with grilled vegetables such as eggplant, zucchini and bell peppers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a dip, serve it on the table with bread, raw vegetable sticks, cheese cubes and cold meat strips.

By the next day, the flavors have melded, and you have a lunch for the office. For raclette or fondue, it serves as an extra dip alongside the usual sauces, turning simple bread and vegetables into a highlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also worth using in small amounts: a spoonful on a cheese sandwich, with pan-seared dishes, with cold roast from the day before, or as a spicy layer in a wrap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e A spoonful of sauce stirred into gravy or a stew just before serving adds depth and a subtle sweetness.

It is produced by Lang Weinessig in Gommersheim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufactory was founded by trained chef Jens Michael Lang, who learned his craft in star-rated kitchens. He has been making wine vinegars, vinaigrettes, fruit balsams, and ready-made salad dressings for over ten years. According to the manufacturer, the sauces are handmade and consist only of natural ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer expressly calls the Riesling a Palatinate wine, and the sauce thrives on its clear, fruity acidity. The wine is boiled down and concentrated for the sauce, which adds body and sweetness. That is why the sauce can manage with grape must as a base, without the addition of crystal sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this variety, the Riesling provides the freshness and the dried figs provide the fruitiness. Both are clearly stated on the label: 27 percent Riesling wine, 18 percent white wine vinegar, 9 percent figs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe family includes four sauces: in addition to Riesling \u0026amp; Fig, there are varieties with Pinot Noir and Cherry, Pinot Blanc and Apricot, and Dornfelder and Date. All four rely on wine from the same Southern Palatinate source and differ in fruit and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sauce for frequent users, hosts, and fig lovers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 335 ml bottle is the right choice if you use the sauce regularly: for dip evenings, the barbecue season, and snack platters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a first trial, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tunke-riesling-feige-175ml\"\u003esmall 175 ml bottle\u003c\/a\u003e is sufficient.

The bottle lasts all evening, even if several guests are dipping at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe large bottle also works well as a hostess gift if you know they enjoy grilling and dipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose who like to switch between varieties can combine it with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tunke-dornfelder-dattel-335ml\"\u003eDornfelder \u0026amp; Date Sauce\u003c\/a\u003e for heartier dishes.

It contains no oil, no spice blends, and no herbs – a vinegar preparation that can be used pure over salad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLiese by Lang Weinessig\u003c\/strong\u003e is a vinaigrette in the literal sense: a ready-seasoned vinegar preparation that you can add directly to salad, vegetables, or potatoes. You add the oil yourself. You choose the one you like best, or leave it out entirely. The 500 ml bottle is intended for anyone who needs it regularly. For frequent users, it won't end up in the pantry cupboard, but right next to the stove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMild in character, Riesling in the background\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLiese tastes mild and balanced: a soft acidity, followed by the fruit of the Riesling, plus the sweetness of organic sugar and grape must. The white wine vinegar matures for more than a year in barrique barrels, which gives it a fine roundness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe vinegar it contains is also referred to as \"white balsamic from the Palatinate.\" The comparison hits the mark: light, fine, with a slight sweetness. However, it is much lighter than a dark balsamic and barely colors the salad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSugar and grape must are honestly listed in the ingredients; they round off the acidity. In a glass or on a spoon, Liese therefore tastes softer than you might be used to from a simple white wine vinegar. On the plate, you notice this especially with raw vegetables, where the sweetness cushions the acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone expecting a strong, spicy, or pungent vinaigrette will find Liese too restrained. It supports the dish rather than taking it over. That is precisely why it suits every season and both hearty and delicate leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA splash for salad, quark, and potatoes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLiese refines every salad: green salad in the spring, cucumbers in the summer, lamb's lettuce and grated carrots in the winter. Start with one tablespoon per serving and taste before you add more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo ideas are particularly quick. A few splashes in quark make for a ten-minute dinner with warm boiled potatoes. And in potato salad, Liese provides the acidity that otherwise comes from a combination of vinegar and lemon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the bottle is filled without oil, you decide the rest yourself. Those who want a classic dressing stir Liese with rapeseed oil, olive oil, or walnut oil. Those who like it light can drizzle it pure over leaf lettuce or cucumbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn terms of volume, this allows for plenty of flexibility: 500 ml equals a good 30 tablespoons. If you prepare a salad for two daily, it will last for several weeks, and if you only have guests on the weekend, significantly longer. After opening, keep the bottle tightly sealed, preferably in a cool, dark place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also useful outside the salad bowl: a dash over steamed vegetables just before serving, a splash over fried fish or light meat, or a spoonful in a dip for vegetable sticks. In all these cases, the mild acidity adds freshness without masking the flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add the vinaigrette to the bowl first, then the salt, and only then the oil. This allows the salt to dissolve in the acidity, and the dressing emulsifies more evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the pantry bottle, a dosing aid is worthwhile: a pourer or a small carafe for the table makes measuring easier. The large bottle then stays in the kitchen and is only opened for refills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRiesling and oak barrels from the Southern Palatinate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLang Weinessig is a manufactory in Gommersheim in the Southern Palatinate.

For over ten years, he has been producing wine vinegars, vinaigrettes, fruit balsams, and ready-made salad dressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe basis for many products are wines from an organically certified winery in the Southern Palatinate. With Liese, two of these come together: the white wine vinegar, which according to Lang Weinessig matures for more than a year in barrique barrels, and a Riesling that has been reduced and is therefore non-alcoholic. The ingredients are from controlled organic cultivation; the organic control number is DE-ÖKO-006.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLang Weinessig calls the Palatinate the Tuscany of the North: the sun shines here more than in many other German regions, and even figs grow here, but above all, wine. Liese is the vinaigrette in which this Riesling character comes through most clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a chef, Jens Lang knows what matters: natural ingredients, versatile products with a light acidity and flavor. These three points characterize all varieties from the manufactory, and with Liese, the ingredient list is particularly short: vinegar, wine, sugar, salt, must. A mild vinaigrette hardly needs more ingredients, and that is precisely what makes it so versatile in the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe large bottle for those who make salad every day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500 ml bottle is for households where salad is part of everyday life: families, office lunches, or avid cooks with guests on the weekend.

It is seasoned and ready to use, and since it contains no oil, you can add whichever type you prefer yourself. The tomatoes soak in the wine vinegar for over a year, during which time they release their aroma into the liquid. The result in the bottle is reminiscent of an Italian classic, yet it functions like a dressing. The 500 ml bottle is for those who need Doro not just for a taste, but on a regular basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTomato and wine vinegar, boldly rounded\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDoro tastes bold, spicy, and fruity: a distinct tomato note carried by the acidity of the red and white wine vinegar. The sweetness of organic sugar and grape must rounds it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSugar and grape must are listed plainly in the ingredients. They give Doro a sweetness that complements the tomato and buffers the acidity of the wine vinegar. When tasting, you will notice that the salt, acidity, and sweetness are already perfectly balanced; there is hardly any need to adjust the seasoning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe long maturation process is the core of this variety. According to Lang Weinessig, this is the only way to capture the flavor of the dried tomatoes and blend it with a strong vinaigrette. You can taste the result: not fresh and green like a vine-ripened tomato, but concentrated and savory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose expecting a very mild vinaigrette might find Doro too intense.

The simplest way is with Caprese: tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and a splash of Doro instead of vinegar. Arugula with parmesan, roasted vegetables, or antipasti also gain more depth with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor vegetarians, Doro is an easy way to add depth to vegetable dishes: oven-roasted vegetables, lentils, or potato salad with tomatoes. A teaspoon is often enough to enliven a flat dish. Meat lovers use it for sauces and braised dishes, where the acidity deglazes the pan drippings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn hot cooking, Doro finishes off sauces. Add a small amount to goulash just before serving. Lang Weinessig also recommends Doro for seasoning the gravy for your next roast beef: the meat depends on quality, the character comes from the sauce, and a spoonful of Doro provides acidity, sweetness, and tomato in one step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMore ideas for everyday cooking: a spoonful in a sauce for pasta, a marinade for grilled vegetables, or a splash in a dressing for salad with mozzarella.

For Doro, the red and white wine vinegar is aged in oak barrels. The dried tomatoes are added and remain in the vinegar for more than twelve months. This step makes this variety \"slow,\" as it requires patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLang Weinessig calls the Palatinate the Tuscany of the North: lots of sun, even figs, and above all, wine. Doro hits the nail on the head, as it blends Palatinate wine vinegar with the flavor we associate with Italy. As a chef, Jens Lang values natural ingredients, versatile products with light acidity, and great taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ingredient list is short: wine vinegar comes first at 77 percent, followed by organic sugar, sea salt, grape must, and the tomato extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe journey from tomato to vinaigrette is thus clearly described: dried tomatoes, wine vinegar, a year of patience, and a few ingredients that support the flavor. Those who know Lang Weinessig will recognize the manufactory's signature, as their vinaigrettes thrive on long maturation times and short ingredient lists. Doro is a good example of this, because the effort put into it shows in the taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe large bottle for sauce-makers and salad lovers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500 ml bottle is for households that use Doro regularly: for goulash on the weekend, Caprese in the summer, and a dressing during the week.

This is the classic for Sunday afternoon and the variation that is best passed on by word of mouth. For dessert, a splash over vanilla ice cream or alongside chocolate cake is a perfect match. It is a spirit with 40% vol and is for ages 18 and up, so please only give it as a gift to adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to give the gift more weight, include a small pack of espresso or a bar of dark chocolate. Both pair perfectly with the notes of the Kopfnuss and turn the bottle into a small set for Sunday afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 200 ml bottle is enough for ten glasses. That is ten servings neat after a meal, ten \"Kölsche Mélange\" with 2 cl each, or a mix of both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Write the recipe for the Kölsche Mélange on a small card and tie it to the bottle neck.

This composition is left to age until the aroma and taste are distinct and the alcohol, according to the manufacturer, is harmoniously integrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 2015, the spirit has been produced in small batches with a regional distillery. Behind Kölsche Kopfnuss is owner David Beil; the company is based in Pulheim in the Cologne area. The idea came to him for the Cologne Christmas markets, it became concrete after an evening in his favorite bar, and he subsequently spent months working on the recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer calls his spirit a noble drop \"för e Jeföhl wie doheim,\" for a feeling like being at home. That is exactly the feeling a small gift should pass on. That is why the little bottle with the Cologne background is a gift that feels personal even without a grand gesture. This applies especially during the Advent season, for which David Beil originally developed the idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe small gift for hosts, Cologne expats and hazelnut fans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 200 ml bottle is perfect for occasions where you want to give something small with a story. This could be an invitation for the weekend, a thank-you to the neighbors, or a small gift for colleagues before Christmas. It is also suitable for a package sent to friends with roots in Cologne, as they will rediscover their home in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe three sizes of the Kopfnuss each have their own purpose. The 40 ml shot is enough for two 2 cl glasses and serves for tasting. The 200 ml bottle fills ten glasses and is the gift. The 500 ml bottle fills around 25 glasses and is the supply for your own home bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also a good entry point into the series for hazelnut fans. If you are unsure whether the recipient enjoys spirits, you can choose the smaller bottle: it takes up less space on the shelf and is easier to pass on.

Gruber's Fruchtzauberei produces it by hand in Reigersberg near Ilz in Eastern Styria; 120 g per jar. The producer calls the medlar the \"primal apple\" – an old fruit variety that has become rare today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedlar Chutney from Gruber's Fruchtzauberei\u003c\/strong\u003e brings a fruit back to the table that many only remember from their grandmother's garden. The common medlar is an old fruit variety, also known as \"Asperl\" in Austria. Its brown fruits are hard and tart at the time of harvest. Only after the first frost or after some storage time do they soften and develop their sweet and sour flavor. Gruber's Fruchtzauberei processes this fruit into a chutney, a cooked condiment based on the Indian tradition. Fruit, vinegar, sugar, and spices combine to create something sweet and sour that has a place alongside cheese and meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFlavor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe producer describes the chutney as \"a sweet and sour affair,\" pleasantly spiced. The medlar provides a round, soft fruitiness. Apple vinegar provides the acidity, while onions and spices make it savory. Ginger and mustard seeds add a subtle warmth that never dominates. The consistency is soft and easy to spoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to the farm's other chutneys, this is the most balanced. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/ribisel-chutney\"\u003eRed Currant Chutney\u003c\/a\u003e is significantly more acidic and has more heat.

On a cheese board, it pairs well with Camembert, Brie, other white-mold cheeses, and creamy goat cheese. Try it also with baked Camembert from the oven: the warm, melting cheese and the cool chutney make a lovely pair. For a snack, a spoonful on farm bread with butter and soft cheese is sufficient. It also adds sweet and sour accents to a tarte flambée with goat cheese and red onions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith lamb, the chutney is a fruity alternative to mint sauce. Serve it in a small bowl with grilled lamb chops, braised lamb shoulder, or ground lamb. For poultry, it pairs well with roast chicken, fried chicken breast, turkey roast, and duck. Also, in a sandwich with cold chicken, lettuce, and a little mayonnaise, a spoonful provides fruitiness and acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fill puff pastry pockets with a piece of Brie and a teaspoon of medlar chutney and bake them until golden brown.

Beatrix is a cook and is responsible for processing. The recipes are created by both tasting and experimenting together until the flavor is right. Everything is made by hand.

The color is a vibrant red and comes solely from the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn their homepage, the manufacturer describes it as fresh and lively with a subtle sweetness – and indeed, it comes across as lighter and more berry-forward than their wine-based liqueurs. You can recognize the raspberry immediately in the scent; it lingers long on the palate, and the finish is warm, as at 24.3% vol, it is one of the stronger liqueurs from s guate Tröpfle. Those expecting a syrupy, very sweet liqueur will find this one leaner and more fruit-focused. According to the manufacturer, the alcohol content may vary by batch; the label is authoritative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt 18 to 22 degrees in a schnapps glass, over dessert, or in sparkling wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer recommends enjoying the liqueur at 18 to 22 °C from a schnapps glass, in good company and in small sips. Two centiliters after a meal are enough to let the berry unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer explicitly mentions it as a liqueur for refining desserts: a spoonful over vanilla ice cream, panna cotta, or quark dishes, or a splash in whipped cream for apple pie. For an aperitif, add one centiliter to a sparkling wine glass and fill with dry sparkling wine. Once opened, the bottle belongs in the refrigerator and should be finished within a few weeks because the manufacturer avoids preservatives. At 24.3% vol, this liqueur is a spirit: sale only to those 18 and older.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add a centiliter to a glass of white wine spritzer – it turns an after-work spritzer into a summer drink with real berry flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRaspberries from the surroundings, family recipes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003es guate Tröpfle is the liqueur distillery of Andrea and Oliver in Durchhausen, a village in the Tuttlingen district between the Black Forest and Lake Constance. There, the fruit liqueurs are handcrafted, from the initial preparation to bottling and shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer compares their fruit liqueur range to a walk through a home garden: many fruits grow in their own gardens or wild in the surrounding area and are harvested by hand; many recipes come from local tradition, from the family, or from old books. Only regional raspberries are used for this bottle, hand-picked and hand-selected. Because the distillery works with the harvest, the liqueur can occasionally be sold out for short periods according to the manufacturer – a sign that there really is fruit in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor berry fans, dessert chefs, and as a souvenir from the south\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the bottle for everyone who likes fruit liqueurs and wants to taste the berry, not just the sugar.

London Dry Gin with citrus peels, lavender and juniper, 42% vol – handcrafted in Cologne-Ehrenfeld.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGin de Cologne\u003c\/strong\u003e is a London Dry Gin from Cologne: over 12 botanicals, including peels of lemon, orange and lime, lavender and hibiscus blossoms, and juniper. 42% vol, 500 ml. Handcrafted in Cologne-Ehrenfeld, lime-forward, zesty and mild – intentionally not bitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe classic from Cologne is a London Dry Gin\u003c\/strong\u003e and the brand's base variety, upon which the Rosé and non-alcoholic versions are built. A London Dry Gin derives its aroma solely from the botanicals that are distilled with the alcohol during the burn; no sweeteners or colorings are added afterward. The name only reveals the method: London Dry Gin can be distilled anywhere, including Cologne. Legally, a gin requires at least 37.5% vol and must taste of juniper. This one has 42% vol. The workday is over, the sun is still up, three ice cubes clink in the glass: the first sip of Gin and Tonic is lime-forward and light, and you are no longer in a hurry. This bottle is made for evenings like these.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste: lime-forward, zesty, mild and refreshing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLime-forward, zesty, mild, refreshing – this is how the producer describes the taste, and the botanicals explain why. Lemon, orange, and lime peels provide the freshness. Juniper provides the structure that makes a gin a gin. Lavender and hibiscus blossoms round it off with a floral note. In total, there are over 12 botanicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gin is intentionally made to be not bitter. This makes it the bottle for everyone who likes Gin and Tonic but turns their nose up at resinous, tart varieties, and for everyone who is just discovering gin for themselves. At 42% vol, it still has backbone: it remains present in a long drink instead of disappearing behind the tonic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the gin is mild, it forgives small inaccuracies in mixing: a little more tonic, one ice cube fewer, and the glass remains balanced. This makes it a gin for everyday life that you don't need to weigh out. It is summery anyway, which is how the manufacturer describes it. Anyone looking for an edgy, juniper-heavy profile will find a friendlier alternative here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUse: Gin and Tonic with lime, plenty of ice and a cold glass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic first: 4 cl gin, 16 cl tonic water, a wedge of lime, and three ice cubes. We mix in a 1:4 ratio in a large long drink glass or balloon glass. First the ice, then the gin, then the tonic slowly down the spoon – this keeps the carbonation in the glass. A lime slice works well as a garnish; a lemon or orange zest picks up on the citrus peel botanicals in the gin. With 4 cl per drink, a 500 ml bottle is enough for around twelve Gin and Tonics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA few variations for the long drink: A small sprig of lavender in the glass complements the lavender blossoms in the gin, two cucumber slices make the drink even fresher. If you find tonic too tart, top up with Bitter Lemon or Ginger Ale. For guests, a pitcher is worthwhile: prepare gin, ice, and citrus slices, adding the tonic only at the table to keep it carbonated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the Gin and Tonic, the gin shows that it loves citrus. A Gimlet consists of 5 cl gin, 2 cl fresh lime juice, and 1.5 cl sugar syrup, shaken vigorously over ice and strained into a chilled glass. For a Tom Collins, shake 5 cl gin with 3 cl lemon juice and 1.5 cl sugar syrup and top up with soda water in a tall glass. Drink it neat and well-chilled in small sips. Gin is a spirit with 42% vol and is only for adults aged 18 and over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chill the glass in advance with ice and water and squeeze the lime peel over the drink before putting it in – the oil from the peel brings out the citrus notes in the gin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin: Handcrafted in Cologne-Ehrenfeld, founded in 2017\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGin de Cologne comes from Cologne Spirits GmbH in Cologne, Bonner Straße 205.

A small family has since grown around the London Dry Gin: the Rosé, refined with raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries and with 15 botanicals; the Orange-Gin with over 13 botanicals, introduced in 2020; and the non-alcoholic Zero de Cologne with the same botanicals.

It is the bottle for a Gin and Tonic on the weekend and for guests who don't like every gin. It is also suitable for anyone who wants to give a gin from Cologne as a gift for a birthday, housewarming, or as a thank-you for an invitation, as it will be enjoyed by everyone at the table because it remains mild.

By law, a gin must have at least 37.5% vol and taste of juniper; this one has 42% vol. The Mini is very popular with us, and for good reason: it answers the question “Will I like this?” before you buy 500 ml.

The ratio is 1:4: 4 cl of gin to 16 cl of tonic water, plus ice and a slice of lime. This allows you to toast with another person and immediately compare whether you prefer the gin neat or as a long drink. We put the glass in the fridge beforehand; a cold glass keeps the ice longer. If you don’t want to pour by feel, use a measuring cup: with 4 cl per drink, you have 2 cl left over after two gin and tonics, which you can taste chilled and neat to see what the tonic does to the gin and what the gin shows on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have more than one Mini at home, you can turn it into a small tasting: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/gin-de-cologne-ros-mini\"\u003eRosé Mini\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/gin-de-cologne-orange-mini\"\u003eOrange Mini\u003c\/a\u003e are also available in 100 ml.

A Gimlet also works twice: 5 cl of gin, 2 cl of fresh lime juice, and 1.5 cl of sugar syrup, shaken over ice and strained, yield exactly half the bottle per drink. The Mini is also suitable for a weekend away because it takes up hardly any space in your luggage.

Because the bottle is so compact, it is easy to send by mail. And it is the perfect souvenir for anyone looking for a little something for home after a weekend between the cathedral and the banks of the Rhine.

It starts with the lime-zesty Gin de Cologne and adds raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. By law, every gin needs at least 37.5% ABV and must taste of juniper; the Rosé has 42% ABV. It's Saturday afternoon, the terrace is in the sun, and there is a bowl of berries on the table. The Rosé Gin Tonic gets a few of them as a garnish, and suddenly the glass looks like summer. The manufacturer calls the gin itself \"a dream in rosé.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste: berry-fruity, mild, and summery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer describes the Rosé as lime-zesty, mild, refreshing, and summery, complemented by a berry-fruity side. The foundation is the well-known Gin de Cologne with its citrus peels and juniper; the Rosé builds on this framework with raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. Together with the botanicals of the classic, there are 15 in total. According to the manufacturer, these include lemon, orange, and lime peels, lavender and hibiscus flowers, and juniper, plus the three berries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit is kept subtle: it accompanies the citrus gin rather than taking over.

The ratio is 1:4, and as with every gin and tonic, the rule applies: first the ice, then the gin, then the tonic slowly along the spoon. Raspberries and a few strawberry slices work well as a garnish; a handful of blueberries floats nicely in a wine glass. A 500 ml bottle will get you about twelve drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor guests, a Rosé Sparkler is worth it: pour 4 cl of Rosé into a champagne or wine glass with 10 cl of well-chilled dry sparkling wine and garnish with a raspberry. It is ready in a minute and makes more of an impression as an opening greeting at the door than a glass of water. Alternatively, mix Rosé and soda water 1:4 with a lemon slice for a lighter long drink. For a Rosé Lemonade, shake 4 cl of gin with 2 cl of lemon juice and 1 cl of sugar syrup, fill with soda, and place half a strawberry in the glass. For dessert, a splash over vanilla ice cream with berries works well: 2 cl is enough. The Rosé has 42% ABV; it is a beverage for adults aged 18 and over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA stemmed wine glass is particularly well-suited for the Rosé because the scent of the berries gathers in the wide bowl. Use plenty of ice, because cold tonic enhances the freshness and tempers the sweetness of the fruit. Fresh berries last longer as a garnish than slices if you add them to the glass just before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freeze a few berries in advance and use them instead of some of the ice cubes.

The gin is handcrafted in Cologne-Ehrenfeld, where the brand is at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rosé is the fruity extension of the classic: the same Gin de Cologne, refined with raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries and composed with 15 botanicals. The brand thus remains true to its line of distilling mild and refreshing spirits, while simply setting a different accent. Those who want to know how the Rosé compares to the original should try both side by side. We also offer 100 ml bottles for this purpose, which were explicitly developed as a Cologne souvenir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom: berry fans, summer guests, and everyone giving gin as a gift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rosé is the gin for everyone who likes fruit in their glass. It is suitable for summer evenings with friends, brunch with sparkling wine, and bachelorette parties. Gin beginners who find berry aromas more familiar than juniper will also find it to their taste. As a gift, it stands out because it is pink and yet tastes like gin from Cologne. For Mother's Day, a birthday, or as a thank-you to the neighbor who watered the flowers, a pink bottle goes over well. If you are shopping for several guests, remember the note: the Rosé contains colorant.

Legally, a gin must have at least 37.5% ABV and taste of juniper. This one has 42% ABV. The Mini is very popular with us. It’s small enough for a \"thank you\" and pink enough for a smile. And it shows you what’s happening in the glass before you buy 500 ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste: berry-fruity, mild, and subtle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe producer describes the Rosé as zesty with lime, mild, refreshing, and summery. Added to this is the fruitiness of raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries, which is layered onto the classic’s citrus-juniper foundation. The gin contains a total of 15 botanicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic's botanical set remains the base: peels of lemon, orange, and lime, lavender and hibiscus blossoms, and juniper—handcrafted, according to the producer. The three berries are added on top, giving the gin its fruity side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a mini, it holds up well in a comparison: you can place it next to the classic and taste what the berries change. Those who love fruit notes will find in the Rosé a variety that sounds like summer rather than liqueur. It remains a gin, with 42% ABV and the freshness of citrus. The color is a delicate rosé; note that it contains coloring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage: two Rosé Gin \u0026amp; Tonics from one small bottle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100 ml bottle is enough for two drinks. The producer’s recipe: 4 cl Rosé, 16 cl Mediterranean tonic water, berry garnish, and three ice cubes. This gives you 20 cl of long drink per glass, with 2 cl left over after two rounds. You can enjoy this remainder chilled on its own or pour it over a scoop of vanilla ice cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a handful of berries from the fridge, the garnish quickly becomes an eye-catcher. Raspberries and strawberry slices sit on top of the ice; a few blueberries sink to the bottom. If you prefer sparkling wine to tonic, mix 4 cl of Rosé with 10 cl of dry sparkling wine and a raspberry for a small \"sparkler.\" For that, you only need one bottle of sparkling wine and the Mini.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also make a Rosé Lemonade for two people: shake 2 × 4 cl Rosé, 2 × 2 cl lemon juice, and 2 × 1 cl sugar syrup over ice, pour into two glasses, and top with soda water. Half a strawberry on the rim makes the drink perfect for a picnic basket, provided you keep the ingredients chilled and fill the glasses on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol is strictly for adults 18 and over. The Mini is therefore a gift for adults that you can easily present together with a bottle of tonic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone serving the Rosé in a clear glass will see immediately why it makes for a conversation starter. A Rosé Gin \u0026amp; Tonic pairs well with a piece of berry cake or a bowl of strawberries in the afternoon because fruit meets fruit. If that’s not your style, use a lemon slice instead of berries and let the fruit in the gin speak for itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Put the Mini in the fridge for half an hour before opening. A chilled gin makes the ice in the glass melt more slowly, and the drink stays cold longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin: pink gin from Cologne, bottled as a souvenir\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rosé comes from Cologne Spirits GmbH in Cologne, Bonner Straße 205. It traces back to Abbass Khatami, who launched his own gin in 2017 using his experience from an advertising agency for beverage brands. Ehrenfeld in Cologne is where the gin is handcrafted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery 100 ml Mini of the brand is intended to be a Cologne souvenir. The Rosé Mini is thus the colorful version of the small keepsake. It sits on the shelf at home after a visit to Cologne and comes out on the table the next time friends visit. The classic has over 12 botanicals; the Rosé has 15. You can taste the difference if you open both Minis side-by-side.

It fits into a gift package, as a Secret Santa gift, or as an accompaniment to a bouquet of flowers. It fits into any backpack for a trip to the Rhine. Together with the Orange Mini and the classic Mini, you create a small trio for comparing that you can assemble yourself: the three bottles barely take up any space on the shelf. It’s also a great idea as a thank you for hosts or a small gift for colleagues, as the bottle takes up little space and still looks like something special. If you like to compare, pick up the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/gin-de-cologne-mini\"\u003eMini with the classic gin\u003c\/a\u003e as well and drink both one after the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth bottles together are also available as a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/gin-de-cologne-doppel-geschenkbox-100ml\"\u003edouble gift box with 2 × 100 ml\u003c\/a\u003e in a gift box with a Cologne motif.

No added flavorings, no preservatives, no artificial colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrawberry jam from Gruber's\u003c\/strong\u003e is the kind of jam found on every breakfast table in Austria, where it is usually just called \"Marmelade\". The label lists four ingredients: strawberry pulp, sugar, pectin as a gelling agent, and a little malic acid. What makes it special is the origin of the fruit. The strawberries grow in the farm's home garden in Reigersberg, very close to the kitchen where Beatrix processes them. They are harvested when they are ripe – the producer calls this \"enjoyment-ripe.\" Imagine a Saturday morning: fresh rolls, cold butter, and a jar that smells like June. This jam is made exactly for that moment. For years, it has been one of our most popular jars from Styria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRipe strawberry, rounded sweetness, smooth on the knife\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe jam tastes of ripe strawberries, rounded and sweet. In the background, there is a light acidity that comes from the malic acid, making the fruit taste fresh. The producer describes their strawberries as red, aromatic fruits. That is exactly how they arrive in the jar: the strawberry is at the forefront; the sugar supports it rather than masking it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the fruits are processed into a pulp, the jam is smooth and even. It spreads thinly on buttered bread and glides over warm palatschinken (crêpes) like a glaze. You will barely find any whole fruit pieces in it. If you like biting into half a strawberry at breakfast, you are better off choosing a chunky variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweetness is distinct, just like in a classic jam. For yogurt or cheese with a bit more acidity, the raspberry or blackberry jam from the same producer are more suitable choices. For children and anyone who loves strawberries just as they taste in early summer, this one hits the spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRolls, palatschinken, crumble cake: the everyday jam\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGruber's strawberry jam brings the most joy where it has always belonged: on breakfast bread. A fresh Kaiser roll, butter, a thin layer of jam – that's all you need on a day off. It also works well on whole-grain bread with \"Topfen\" (curd cheese\/quark) because the fruit stands up well against the tangy cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn sweet cooking, it is the filling for palatschinken, the thin Austrian pancakes. Warm from the pan, a spoonful of jam on top, rolled up, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. For a Swiss roll, spread it onto the cooled cake and roll it up. For \"Spitzbuben,\" the filled Christmas cookies, warm it up briefly, and it will spread more easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA spoonful in Greek yogurt with a few oats makes a quick weekday breakfast. Stirred into a milkshake, it replaces strawberry syrup. Poured over vanilla ice cream, it becomes a sauce if you briefly heat it in a pot with a splash of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor baking, spread a thin layer of jam over a sheet of sponge cake and top with crumble. This creates a strawberry crumble cake even out of season. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/marillenkonfituere\"\u003eapricot jam\u003c\/a\u003e can be used the same way if you want some variety on your baking tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stir a teaspoon of jam into a vinaigrette made of balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

The farm's history dates back to 1860. In the early 1990s, it shifted to fruit growing, with a focus on apples. Later, \"Fruchtzauberei\" was added – the branch of the business that turns fruits and vegetables into jams, chutneys, vinegars, and sauces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is clearly divided. René Gruber, as a master orchardist, is responsible for the cultivation, while Beatrix processes the fruits as a cook. Their recipes are developed by tasting and experimenting together, as they describe it themselves. Their guiding principle is \"Quality over quantity.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the strawberry jam, the origin is particularly close: the fruits grow in the farm's home garden. For this variety, this is explicitly stated by the producer. It is harvested when perfectly ripe and processed by hand. Besides the fruit, only sugar, pectin, and malic acid go into the jar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe jam is sold in the farm shop in Reigersberg, in selected stores, and through us. The 210 g jar is quickly used up even in a small household, so there is always a freshly opened one on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor breakfast lovers, families, and anyone homesick for Austria\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis jam is for those who like their breakfast simple: bread, butter, fruit. Children often reach for the strawberry first, while adults appreciate that it comes from a small home garden and is made by hand. As a gift, it suits people who know Austria and miss farm-made jam. Combined with a pack of rolls or a homemade braided loaf, it makes a lovely little breakfast gift. It fits Mother's Day, a housewarming, or as a thank you for a neighbor who watered the plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are looking for a variety with more acidity, try the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/himbeerkonfituere\"\u003eraspberry jam\u003c\/a\u003e, finely passed and seedless.

No cheese, no preservatives, no artificial colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGruber's Tomato Pesto\u003c\/strong\u003e comes from a region where the landscape is characterized more by apples than tomatoes. Eastern Styria is orchard country, and the Fruchtzauberei is actually known for jams and chutneys. That makes this jar all the more surprising: a red pesto, savory and Mediterranean, which works as naturally in the kitchen as a pesto from Liguria. The difference lies in the ingredients. Instead of pine nuts, it contains cashew nuts, which are mild and creamy. Cheese is not on the ingredient list; instead, bell pepper and oregano guide the pesto toward a summer garden profile. This makes it more versatile than the name suggests. It has been one of our most popular products from Reigersberg for years and, for many customers, their introduction to the Fruchtzauberei range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTomato, garlic, oregano, and a creamy nutty note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pesto tastes of tomato and herbs, with a distinct spice from garlic and pepper. The oregano provides the aroma you know from pizza and tomato salad. Bell pepper adds a mild, slightly sweet depth, and a pinch of sugar rounds off the acidity of the tomatoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cashew nuts give the pesto body. They taste mild and slightly sweet and make the consistency creamy. The oil, a blend of olive and sunflower oil, binds everything together and carries the aromas. The sunflower oil takes some of the bitterness out of the olive, so the tomato remains in the foreground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to the Basil Pesto and the Walnut Pesto from the same house, the tomato pesto is the spiciest and warmest. The two green pestos rely on herbs or nuts and hard cheese, while the red one relies on tomato, garlic, and bell pepper. Those expecting the salty, cheesy aroma of a Pesto alla Genovese will find a different, fruitier direction here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNote for allergy sufferers: The pesto contains cashew nuts, i.e., tree nuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePasta, baguette, grilled vegetables: the pesto for quick evenings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe quickest route is via pasta. Cook spaghetti, penne, or trofie, save a cup of pasta water, and stir two to three tablespoons of pesto with some pasta water in a bowl until smooth. Then add the drained pasta, toss, and serve. The pasta water makes the sauce creamy and ensures that the pesto clings to every noodle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also belongs on bread. Spread the pesto on a sliced baguette and put it briefly in a hot oven. After a few minutes, the bread is crispy and smells of garlic. This works as a side dish for barbecues, soup, or simply with a glass of wine in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen grilling, the pesto is useful in many places. As a marinade for zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant, stir it with a little oil. Spread on chicken breast or pork tenderloin, it forms a savory crust. A spoonful on a piece of feta, wrapped in aluminum foil and placed on the grill, makes a quick appetizer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a dip, stir a tablespoon of pesto into 200 g of quark or cream cheese. Seasoned with salt and pepper, it pairs well with raw vegetables, baked potatoes, and bread. On a sandwich with mozzarella and arugula, the pesto replaces butter. And add a spoonful to tomato soup only when serving, so that the aroma remains fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Instead of tomato sauce, spread the pesto on a pizza base, top with mozzarella and arugula, and bake until hot. The pesto adds both sauce and spice in one step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the jar in the refrigerator after opening. A thin film of oil on the surface keeps the pesto fresh. Always use a clean spoon for portioning, and the jar will remain appetizing down to the last bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA pesto from the fruit kitchen in Reigersberg\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the pesto is Gruber's Fruchtzauberei, a small family business in Reigersberg near Ilz in Eastern Styria.

Beatrix is a chef and processes fruit and vegetables in the Fruchtzauberei.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePesto has been part of the range for years, alongside jams, chutneys, syrups, barbecue sauces, and fruit ragouts. That a fruit manufacturer also makes pesto fits their own description: The Fruchtzauberei sees itself as a manufactory for the processing of fruit, vegetables, and flowers. As a chef, Beatrix is the one who turns the ingredients into a dish in a jar.

A fruit ragout made from sweet cherries – loose, fruity, with a warm vanilla aroma.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGruber's Cherry Ragout with Tonka Bean\u003c\/strong\u003e is a handmade fruit ragout from Reigersberg near Ilz in Eastern Styria. The label lists three ingredients: sweet cherries, sugar, and tonka bean. 210 g in a jar, perfect for spooning, spreading, and warming. No gelling agents, no artificial colors, no preservatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCherry Ragout with Tonka Bean by Gruber's\u003c\/strong\u003e is the jar for the moment after a meal. A fruit ragout falls somewhere between a compote and a jam: the fruit is cooked down with sugar, but no gelling agent binds the mixture into a firm layer. The result is loose and juicy, more of a side dish than a bread spread. For this fruit delight, sweet cherries are cooked with an ingredient rarely seen in Styrian cuisine: the tonka bean. Its scent is reminiscent of vanilla, almond, and fresh hay. Together with the cherry, it creates a flavor that brings to mind cherry cake and Black Forest gateau, only lighter. For years, this ragout has been one of the most popular jars from Fruchtzauberei, especially among those who love to make Kaiserschmarrn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSweet cherry, warm tonka, juicy on the spoon\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ragout tastes first and foremost of sweet cherry: round, mild, and fruity, with low acidity. Sweet cherries are softer in flavor than sour cherries, providing fruitiness rather than tartness. Behind that comes the tonka bean. It adds a warm, slightly vanilla-like tone over the cherries, along with a subtle note reminiscent of marzipan and bitter almond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tonka bean remains in the background. It is much like a pinch of cinnamon in apple strudel: you notice it because the flavor becomes rounder and longer. Those trying tonka for the first time often think of vanilla at first, only noticing something else on the second spoonful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the ragout is cooked down using only sugar, it flows off the spoon. It has more juice than a jam and sits on the plate like a thick sauce with fruit. It still works on bread if you treat it like a spread and distribute it thinly. If you are looking for a firm, sliceable jam for your breakfast roll, it is better to reach for the cherry jam from the same producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKaiserschmarrn, ice cream, yogurt: this ragout belongs with dessert\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic place for a fruit ragout is alongside Kaiserschmarrn. In Austria, this is usually accompanied by a plum roaster, but the cherry and tonka version creates a variation for guests. Simply warm the ragout briefly in a small pot and serve it in a bowl on the side. Everyone can take as much as they like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is just as suitable for palatschinken, pancakes, and waffles. Served over vanilla ice cream, it makes for warm cherries with ice cream—a combination that even children enjoy. Distributed over semolina pudding, rice pudding, or curd cheese dumplings, it adds color and fruit to the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eServed cold, the ragout tastes great in plain yogurt or Skyr, with a bit of granola on top. For a dessert in a glass, layer mascarpone cream, crumbled ladyfingers, and the cherry ragout. After an hour in the fridge, three ingredients have become a dessert that looks like a lot of hard work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCherry with tonka is also worth considering with cheese. Paired with a mild fresh goat cheese or Brie, the ragout acts like a sweet chutney. And during the Christmas season, it goes well with gingerbread, vanilla crescents, and a slice of stollen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also works as a cake topping. Add the ragout to a cheesecake or a curd cake only after baking. The juice will then stay on the surface and only run down the edges slightly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place the jar briefly in hot water instead of heating the ragout in a pot. This makes it lukewarm, the tonka bean aroma becomes stronger, and the cherries remain exactly as they were in the jar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA fruit ragout from the Fruchtzauberei\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ragout is made at Fruchtzauberei in Reigersberg near Ilz, a small family business in Eastern Styria. The farm's history dates back to 1860; fruit growing, especially apples, was added in the early 1990s. As a master fruit grower, René Gruber oversees cultivation, while Beatrix uses her skills as a cook to put fruits and vegetables into jars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFruit ragouts are a staple in the Fruchtzauberei range, alongside jams, chutneys, syrups, sauces, and pesto. The cherry ragout shows how their recipes are created: through collective tasting and experimentation until the flavor is just right. That is how Beatrix and René describe it themselves. That a tropical bean finds its way into a cherry jar is the result of this curiosity. The tonka bean is the seed of a South American tree and is usually finely grated in the kitchen, similar to nutmeg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEverything is made by hand. Aside from the sweet cherries, only sugar and tonka bean go into the jar. Their guiding principle is \"quality over quantity.\" The ragout is available at the farm, in select shops, and at Leni \u0026amp; Hans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor Kaiserschmarrn chefs and dessert lovers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis ragout is for everyone who enjoys cooking something sweet on the weekend and wants to have a side dish in their pantry. It suits families who have Kaiserschmarrn and palatschinken on their menu, and anyone who rarely eats plain vanilla ice cream. As a gift, it is a lovely surprise for people trying tonka bean for the first time. Combined with a pack of ice cream wafers, a vanilla pod, or a small bag of powdered sugar for the Kaiserschmarrn, it makes a perfect little Sunday package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor bread and rolls, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/kirschenkonfituere\"\u003eCherry Jam\u003c\/a\u003e is the spreadable sister product.

Mild and fruity, for bread, rice pudding, and sweet dishes, without artificial colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCherry Preserve by Gruber's\u003c\/strong\u003e is the preserve for everyone who likes cherries sweet. In Austria, a clear distinction is made: the *Weichsel* is the sour cherry, tart and acidic, while *Kirsche* usually refers to the sweet cherry. This preserve focuses on the sweet cherry. This makes it milder and rounder than a sour cherry preserve, creating a variety that children and adults like equally. Unlike the cherry ragout from the same producer, it is set with pectin. It is easy to spread and therefore belongs on bread, not just as a dessert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSweet cherry, low acidity, soft on bread\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe preserve tastes of ripe sweet cherries, fruity and soft. A light acidity from the malic acid keeps it fresh. The cherry itself brings little tartness, which is why the preserve comes across as gentle and balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to raspberry, it is less tangy; compared to damson, it is brighter and more summery. Those looking for a cherry preserve with strong acidity, as provided by sour cherries, will find this one very mild. It is therefore less suitable for cheese with a lot of salt and spice than a tart variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRice pudding, semolina porridge, and the morning buttered roll\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the morning, the cherry preserve belongs on a buttered slice of bread, a roll, or a croissant. Spread over quark with a little vanilla sugar, it makes a quick breakfast that tastes like dessert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts real strength, however, shows with warm sweet dishes. A spoonful of cherry is a better fit for rice pudding with cinnamon and sugar than any other variety. The same applies to semolina porridge, the Austrian *Grießkoch*, and sweet cheese crepes (*Topfenpalatschinken*). For a cherry cake without fresh fruit, spread a layer of preserve onto a shortcrust base and sprinkle crumbles over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a dessert in a glass, layer cherry preserve, whipped cream, and crumbled chocolate cake. This is reminiscent of Black Forest cake and is ready in ten minutes. It makes a sweet accompaniment to mild fresh goat cheese on a baguette for an aperitif.

Gin is a juniper spirit, and \"dry\" implies a gin with little perceptible sweetness. At Windspiel, the potatoes grow on their own farm in the mineral-rich volcanic soils of the Eifel. These are used to create a base alcohol that the distillery itself describes as particularly mild. The botanicals are layered on top: classic juniper, lemon, coriander, and lavender, along with ginger, cinnamon, and several ingredients that Windspiel calls \"exotic.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a gin for the first gin and tonic on a Friday evening, when the glass is pre-chilled and the scent of juniper rises as soon as you pour. \"London Dry\" refers to the classic production method: the aroma comes from the botanicals in the distillate, and the gin remains dry. In the case of Windspiel, the mildness of the potato alcohol adds another dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMild, citrusy, and floral, with spice in the background\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gin starts with juniper and lemon, followed by lavender and coriander, with the spice working in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWindspiel describes the gin as mild and elegant. Juniper berries, lavender, and coriander form the classic gin aroma with a fine mildness, while ginger root and lemon peel give it its fresh character. Cinnamon bark, pepper, and licorice are carefully balanced and combined with regional ingredients. The distillery speaks of a moment of enjoyment between local roots and a longing for far-off places. According to the team from the Eifel, they spent an entire year working on this balance before the gin was bottled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 47% ABV, the gin is strong. The mildness of the potato alcohol carries it, yet it still requires moderation when pouring. You can taste the individual layers most clearly when enjoyed neat: first the citrus freshness, then the floral notes, and finally the spice. In a long drink, the juniper and lemon remain at the forefront, and the lavender provides a floral accompaniment. Those trying the gin for the first time should ideally enjoy it neat on ice first before mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNeat, as a 1:3 Gin and Tonic, and in a Negroni\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gin is suitable neat on ice and as a gin and tonic – the two methods Windspiel calls classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a gin and tonic, fill a large balloon glass halfway with ice cubes and add 4 cl of gin. Then slowly pour 12 cl of cold tonic water along the spoon. A lemon twist, squeezed over the glass, or a small sprig of lavender makes a suitable garnish. A single gentle stir is enough to preserve the carbonation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor drinking neat, 2 cl in a small glass at room temperature or over a large ice cube is sufficient. In a Negroni, the gin replaces the standard gin in equal parts: 3 cl each of gin, bitters, and red vermouth, stirred over ice with an orange twist. For a Gin Fizz, shake 4 cl of gin with 2 cl of lemon juice and 1 cl of sugar syrup with ice, strain into a glass, and top up with soda. Olives, nuts, goat cheese, and smoked fish pair well with the citrus note. A gin and tonic made with this gin is also a great companion to a salad with a citrus dressing or fried fish with lemon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gin is a spirit with 47% ABV and is only sold to adults aged 18 and over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place the glass in the freezer for five minutes beforehand and use plenty of ice.

The gins are based on potato alcohol instead of grain; the potatoes grow on their own farm in the mineral-rich volcanic soils of the Eifel. After the autumn harvest, Windspiel uses a proprietary process to distill the base alcohol. The recipe comes from the distillery's master distiller. The gin is produced using the classic London Dry method and is triple-distilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDistillation takes place in Germany, and the distillery relies on solar power. For you, this means: the potatoes that make your gin come from the Eifel, from the distillery's own farm, and the distillation remains local.

Windspiel calls the base a real alternative with its own personality, even for connoisseurs of the original. We would put it this way: the juniper is there, the spice is in the foreground, and it is not a gin clone. That is exactly why it works as a drink in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone mixing a non-alcoholic drink with gin character for the first time should start with the classic Non-Alcoholic \u0026amp; Tonic. In it, you can identify the individual building blocks: clove and allspice, juniper, and the citrus note. At Windspiel, the botanicals are both macerated and distilled, and both contribute to a flavor experience that Windspiel describes as particularly aromatic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe list of ingredients includes more than just botanicals, and we are transparent about that: the label lists water, citric acid, natural distillates, natural flavoring, and the preservative potassium sorbate. The base is sugar-free and vegan. According to the manufacturer, Windspiel Non-Alcoholic is crafted by hand in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAs a Non-Alcoholic \u0026amp; Tonic, a Mule, or for citrus mocktails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe easiest way to drink Windspiel Non-Alcoholic is as a Non-Alcoholic \u0026amp; Tonic, just as you would build a Gin \u0026amp; Tonic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePour 5 cl of the base over plenty of ice in a large glass and top with 12 cl of cold tonic water. A slice of lemon and a few lightly crushed juniper berries complement the taste. For a Mule, mix 5 cl with 10 cl of ginger beer and the juice of half a lime, and garnish with a sprig of mint. Bitter lemon or an orange zest also give the drink a different direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who prefer something lighter, top 5 cl of the base with soda water and a splash of lemon juice. The result is drier and allows the spice of the clove and allspice to come through more clearly. Windspiel explicitly recommends the Non-Alcoholic as a long drink or mocktail in good company. Any tonic water you like works as a companion; the colder and the more ice, the fresher the citrus note remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe base pairs well with food because it is both spicy and fresh: with grilled fish, goat cheese, antipasti, and salads with citrus dressing. For larger gatherings, prepare the glasses with ice and lemon slices and add the base and tonic just before serving. If you prefer more spice, use 6 cl of base to 12 cl of tonic; if you prefer it milder, go with 4 cl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Squeeze the lemon zest over the glass before garnishing. The oil from the peel combines with the clove and brings the spice to the fore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDistilled and macerated like gin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWindspiel is a distillery in Berlingen near Daun in the Volcanic Eifel, and the Non-Alcoholic is created there just like the gin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSandra Wimmeler and Denis Lönnendonker founded the company in 2014. It became known for gins made from potato alcohol, with potatoes grown on their own farm in the mineral-rich volcanic soil of the Eifel. The Non-Alcoholic follows the craft of gin-making: botanicals are macerated and distilled according to the master distiller's recipe in elaborate manual labor. The distillery uses solar power and distillation takes place in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWindspiel describes the production process as just as complex as for their gin, with the same standards for the ingredients. The founders placed just as much value on the quality of the non-alcoholic version as on the original. Practical for everyday life: once opened, the bottle has a shelf life of eight weeks according to the label, so plan on using the 500 ml within the next few weeks. At 5 cl per drink, the bottle is enough for ten glasses, and because it lasts for eight weeks once opened, you can spread your drinks over several evenings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor evenings with the car, guests taking a break, and gin fans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis bottle is for everyone who loves gin and tonic and wants to forgo alcohol on certain evenings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is suitable for guests driving home, for after-work drinks during the week, and for groups where someone is taking a break but still wants to have a proper glass in their hand. The bottle is also a great gift idea for gin fans who are currently taking a break from alcohol.
