I don't know about the weather where in your neck of the woods today but here in Ken Berra it is very chilly.


So I propose a toast of Alpensahne

A creamy liqueur that has always been a staple at Austrian ski resorts. This concoction for winter sports fanatics is traditionally homemade, blending pureed alpine mountain pears, alpine cream, and Pear Williams brandy.

It is made by Josef Hofer Distillery, a family-owned and operated business that has been around since 1797 in Austria. The production starts with the fermentation of fruit and distilling it inside copper pot stills. It also goes through aging for about two years before it gets mixed with the other ingredients.

This liqueur is characterized by a yellow to brownish color, resembling farmyard eggs. When you swirl it, traces of liquid chunks are still evident on the glass. However, the cream is the highlight of this drink.

The cream used for Alpensahne is made from milk sourced from cows, specifically in Austria’s Ennstal Valley.

The rich flavor of this liqueur is perfect for drinking on its own but if you're feeling particularly indulgent, try adding an espresso shot.
