Vögeln Likör

Vögeln Likör is a fruit liqueur from the German brand Krugmann, built around raspberries and refined with a gentle touch of grenadine. It is made from ripe, juicy raspberries and aims at a bright, celebratory fruit character, bottled at a gentle 16% ABV. In the traditional macerated fruit style, a liqueur like this rests on a neutral base that carries the berry sweetness without competing with it.

While the bottle carries no separate tasting note, its makeup of raspberry lifted by grenadine and supported by vanilla and a touch of citrus peel points to a sweet, jammy and fruit forward profile. Behind the bar it brings sweetness, deep red colour and ripe berry body, which makes it an easy base for summer cocktails, a fruity pour in a spritz with sparkling wine, or a raspberry sweetener in shaken drinks and long drinks. It also suits festive serves and lighter desserts. Serve it well chilled or over ice to keep the raspberry fresh, and use it where a drink wants colour and soft fruit sweetness.
