Southernwood Schnapps Recipes |
 |
| Southernwood schnapps - based on fresh, young southernwood leaves - is highly popular here in Denmark and rest of Scandinavia. It has a mild, very aromatic and slightly bitter taste and a wonderful flavour. The color is pale green changing to pale brown after some storage. The schnapps goes extremely well with caviar, crayfish, gravlax, salmon, herring, cured and smoked fish, lamb, poultry and cheese. Excellent as after-dinner drink. | |
