take a swig and see what it tastes like.... :drink:

Looks like it's distilled from berries. Here's a link that translates (sort of) the manufacturer's site into english. Looks like it's got some kick. Might also double as a parts cleaner.

something about the finest distilled juniper berries.

red gin?

it does pack a bit of a punch at 92 proof.

[stevel]

yeah, it seems as though it should be strong.... leonie, our student said it would go good with my vodka, so maybe I'll try it tommorrow.... kinda nervous though. :)

[stevel]

someone on one of audi forums I read said that it is pure schnapps... not sure what was meant by "pure"......

[anysia]

drink it yet?? :confused:

[stevel]

yeah, tried a couple shots... really strong stuff...... wife thinks it smells like nail polish remover. :) it is drinkable though..... for me anyways. leonie, our student, says that they drink it straight.. I'm not sure if I beleive that that can be commen though...

[anysia]

ick!! nail polish remover???? :eek:

of, course, there isn't exactly much alcohol that smells good! :blah:

[stevel]

personally, I think it kinda smells like a pine/christmas tree. :)

[anysia]

hmm, drinkable trees.....

well, after one or two shots, it probably tastes like koolaid!!! :lmao:

[stevel]

ture. :) but, besides that point, it is made in the city that she is from and the bottle is not glass, plastic, or metal, it seems to be ceramin, which is unique to me anyways....

[stevel]

sorry, meant ceramic, not ceramin... had a little of it tonight. sorry. :(
