Description

Top Shelf Blackberry Schnapps Flavouring

Full bodied with notes of sweet blackberries. Combine this with a base and neutral spirit or vodka for a taste experience inspired by a top shelf spirit.

BOTTLE SIZE:

This is a 50ml bottle and will make 1.125 litres of cream style liqueur. This will also need either a Schnapps Base or some sugar syrup to sweeten.

HOW TO USE THE FLAVOUR:

Shake well and add contents and 650 ml (22 US fl oz) of 40% ABV neutral spirit or vodka to Top Shelf Schnapps Base (made up as per base pack instructions). Top up to 1.125 L (38 US fl oz) with water.

WHAT TYPE OF SPIRIT TO USE.

The best spirit to flavour will be a neutral one, like vodka. A higher quality vodka will not have the same harshness as a cheaper vodka. Alternatively, you can make your own neutral spirit to flavour – this will certainly be the cheapest option and also the most rewarding.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO DISTIL YOUR OWN SPIRIT

The equipment required to make a spirit includes basic brewing equipment, which can be found in the ‘Starter kits’ section of our website. You will also need either a Still to distil your alcohol from a spirit wash (highly recommended), or you will need a high alcohol kit. There are two choices of stills on our website, the AirStill and the T500.
