Schnabubu Süßkirschenlikör

Schnabubu Suesskirschenlikoer is a fruit liqueur from the German producer Schnabubu, built around an intense sweet cherry flavour and a balanced sweetness. It is an uncomplicated, accessible bottling that joins juicy sweet cherries to a harmonious liqueur base, bottled at 16%. In the fruit liqueur tradition the cherry sits on a neutral base, the sugar pitched to keep the fruit clear and well rounded rather than cloying, which makes it a versatile, easy drinking pour.

The colour is an intense red and the nose is ripe sweet cherries, fruity, clear and inviting, while the palate is juicy, sweetish and intense with soft, balanced cherry fruit, closing fruity, mild and harmonious with a pleasantly long finish. In a drink it adds deep red colour, juicy fruit sweetness and a rounded body, the kind of straightforward cherry base that drops cleanly into fizzes, spritzes and sweet sours. It serves neat, chilled or over ice, and pairs in the kitchen with chocolate desserts, brownies, Black Forest style puddings, vanilla ice cream and panna cotta. Serve it chilled so the cherry stays fresh and crisp.
