Elderberry Schnapps Recipes |
 |
| Elderberry schnapps - based on fully ripe, black elderberries - tastes almost like a good port wine. It's round and fruity with hints of almond, vanilla, and chocolate. The color is deep purple. Serve with ice creams, desserts, cakes, all kinds of cheese and cheesecakes. Very good as aperitif. | |
