I tried just sipping it, but really don't care for it plain. I tried it in place of raspberry liqueur in a drink recipe and - not stellar either! Everything on the bottles are in German, including the insert so that is not helpful. Anyone with experience with this spirit? All ideas welcome.

Very refreshing. I agree that it is an excellent sipping drink - as long as it is poured into a frosted glass. Wed Nov 04 15:36:41 -0800 2009 5103030 15128 RichK
