Raspberry liqueur from s guate Tröpfle is a liqueur in which the fruit is steeped in alcohol until it has released its color, fragrance, and flavor. The manufacturer calls this process maceration; it is the foundation of all liqueurs from Durchhausen. The raspberries used come from the region; according to the manufacturer, many fruits grow in their own gardens or wild in the surrounding area and are harvested by hand. You can taste the time the liqueur is given: the long maturation process ensures the vibrant color and the intense berry taste, which the manufacturer describes as a reminder of summer.
Vibrant red, intense berry flavor, sweet with fresh acidity
The liqueur has an intense, fruity taste of ripe raspberries, sweet yet fresh, with the light acidity of the berry. The color is a vibrant red and comes solely from the fruit.
On 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.
At 18 to 22 degrees in a schnapps glass, over dessert, or in sparkling wine
The 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.
The 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.
Our tip: Add a centiliter to a glass of white wine spritzer – it turns an after-work spritzer into a summer drink with real berry flavor.
Raspberries from the surroundings, family recipes
s 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.
The 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.
