Böser Kater Aperitivo Peach Eistee

Böser Kater Aperitivo Peach Eistee is a fruit aperitivo from the Edelobstbrennerei Schleihauf in Germany, built around the flavour of ripe peach lifted with the lighter, refreshing character of iced tea. It sits at a gentle 15%, putting it at the easy end of the aperitif range, made for warm days and long evenings rather than heavy sipping after a meal. In the traditional macerated style of a fruit liqueur, the fruit leads and the tea sweetness rounds it off.

The nose opens on fruity peach with a light tea note and a touch of citrus, and the palate stays refreshing and lively, a strong peach flavour carried on a gentle tea sweetness with a subtle citrus edge. Behind the bar its job is fruit and length at low strength: it lengthens cleanly with sparkling wine or soda for a peach iced tea spritz, lifts a tall glass over ice, and brings sweetness and aroma without much alcoholic weight. Pour it neat over ice or top with Prosecco, and serve it cold.
