Schnapps is a fairly strong alcoholic drink that is produced in Germany and is very widespread and popular in its homeland. Therefore, schnapps is considered the national German drink. It tastes like vodka and moonshine, but you can catch light fruity notes in it, depending on the raw materials. But not everyone knows how to drink schnapps correctly.
It is necessary
- - small rounded wine glasses;
- - schnapps;
- - apricot or pear;
- - a special fork.
Instructions
Step 1
Schnapps, infused with herbs, has a bitter taste, but if it is infused with fruits, it tastes sweet. There are no strict rules for drinking this drink. It is often drunk with meals and consumed as an aperitif. At one time, the excellent properties of schnapps were discovered - it promotes good digestion after fatty dishes such as sausages or baked duck.
Step 2
Schnapps should be served in small rounded glasses, reminiscent of traditional cognac. The portions are poured rather small, about 20 grams. Half an apricot or a small piece of pear is placed in a glass. A special fork should be attached to the glass, with which you need to catch the fruit, evaluate its aroma, drink schnapps and eat this fruit.
Step 3
And yet schnapps is not vodka and should be drunk in small portions, sip on drops, assessing the taste, roll on the tongue, enjoying an unforgettable aftertaste. German schnapps resembles more liquor in the culture of its drinking than vodka or moonshine.
Step 4
Many Germans boldly drink schnapps and wash it down with a large amount of beer, based on one glass of schnapps for half a liter of beer. In Germany, schnapps are drunk in tiny portions, so this does not give disastrous consequences. There is an alternative method of drinking schnapps, which is used by some Germans, due to which its taste does not drown out, but only stretches - the schnapps is diluted with a small amount of water. In general, you can experiment with this drink, but in moderation.
