Bring out the champagne glasses – it’s sour cherry schnapps season!
Christmas is all about great company and fabulous food. Lunch tables overflow with prawns and sweet, heart-shaped cherries. Their pits decorating the table come dinner time.
So, what happens to their smaller, less common cousins – the sour, morello cherry?
These deep ruby morsels are gifted with a complex flavour that we believe was made for our sour cherry schnapps!
Sour cherries, like the morello cherry have been used in liqueurs all over Europe for centuries. The most famous being Kirshwasser, meaning “cherry water”, from the Black Forrest region of Germany.
You guessed it. Sour cherry is the beautifully tart and tempting schnapps responsible for the delicious black forest cake. But could you imagine a cherry topped pavlova drizzled with our seasonal sour cherry schnapps!?
The possibilities are endless with this deliciously bittersweet treat. Here are a few cocktail recipes to get you cheers-ing to cherry this Christmas!
Kirsch Royale
As a Christmassy riff on the French ‘Kir Royale’, this cocktail is all about celebration. The star ingredient? A generous pour of our seasonal sour cherry schnapps.
This is the perfect cocktail to serve to friends just as the Christmas crackers are pulled and the jokes are shared.
And the best part about our Kirsch Royale is that you’ll have one at your fingertips in two easy steps – Let’s leave the complicated recipes to the food this year.
Ingredients:
20ml wildbrumby sour cherry schnapps
wildbrumby brut
morello cherries
How to make it:
To be cheers-ing to cherry all through to Christmas dinner, first place your morello cherry into a champagne flute and add our wildbrumby sour cherry schnapps.
Next, tilt the champagne flute on a 45-degree angle and fill with our wildbrumby brut. This will result in an evenly mixed cocktail that is ready to serve in seconds.
Sour Cherry Martini
It wouldn’t be a wildbrumby celebration without a martini. And our seasonal sour cherry schnapps is the ingredient that takes our signature martini recipe from party favourite to the Christmas cocktail everyone will want to sip.
In this cocktail you’ll find a lip-smacking tartness and candied cherry notes. (Have a friend obsessed with martinis? We have that Sour Cherry Martini Pack they didn’t know was on their Christmas wish list.)
Ingredients:
60mL wildbrumby Sour Cherry Schnapps
30mL wildbrumby Kosciuszko Vodka
morello cherry
How to make it:
Set up your chilled martini glass with a single morello cherry. Then, bring out your cocktail mixing glass and fill it to the brim with ice. Add our sour cherry schnapps and wildbrumby Kosciuszko vodka, and stir for 15 rotations.
Strain the contents of your cocktail mixing glass into your chilled martini glass. Enjoy!
Sour Cherry Sling
The Singapore Sling, a brilliantly fruity and pink cocktail, was invented in Singapore in the early 1900’s and has been a summertime classic ever since.
Some versions of the long forgotten ‘original recipe’ call for pineapple juice. However, our version combines the citrus notes of fresh lemon and orange, giving this cherry-forward drink an extra punch of tartness.
Sipping this cocktail by the pool or whilst on BBQ duty is one way to beat that summertime heat.
Ingredients:
30mL Classic Gin
30mL Sour Cherry
15mL fresh lemon juice
15mL fresh orange juice
morello cherries
wildbrumby morello bitters (or Angostura bitters)
soda water
How to make it:
The key to making the best Singapore Sling is to use fresh and quality ingredients. First, squeeze at least 15mL of fresh lemon juice and 15mL of fresh orange juice. Then prep your garnish by pinning two morello cherries using a cocktail pin.
Fill a bar shaker with ice and pour in the lemon juice and orange juice, followed by our wildbrumby classic gin and our cherry schnapps. Shake till frost forms on the outside of your bar shaker and strain into an ice filled Collins glass. Top with soda water.
Place your pinned cherries on top of your glass and add a tiny dash of morello bitters (available from our distillery door). And if you don’t have a bar shaker at home, simply build it straight into your glass.

Wildflowers are in bloom, the sun is out, and the mountains are singing for adventure.
Spring has sprung and we’re celebrating with a floral, herbaceous and honey-sweet treat – our Dandelion & Honey schnapps.
Incorporating wild, handpicked dandelion flowers and local alpine honey with a base of our Pink Lady Apple schnapps. This is a seasonal schnapps made to be savoured for as long as our dandelions are in bloom.
You may be asking yourself, why dandelion? This vibrant yellow flower is highly aromatic and known as one of the most common edible flowers.
In teas and drinks, dandelion gives off a rich herbaceous and floral flavour often served alongside honey and lemon.
Local alpine honey is a key ingredient in our Dandelion & Honey schnapps too.
As bees busily venture from plant to plant, the taste of the snowy mountains in spring is collected into each drop of their gorgeous golden honey.
For us, the vibrant notes of wildflowers and local alpine honey are the true flavours of spring. So, where does the idea of floral schnapps come from?
Herbs and flowers, like dandelion, have a long history in liquor creation. Particularly in Western Europe where many traditional alcoholic beverages consumed in springtime, and beyond, are herbal liqueurs and aromatised fortified wines.
Today, you’re bound to come across plenty of cocktails celebrating springtime with herbaceous and floral flavours.
Here’s how we like to drink it:
Our Dandelion & Honey schnapps is delectable served neat or over ice. You can also try it as a boilermaker with your favourite lager after a long mountain bike ride or enjoy it in a simple cocktail like our Angry Bee. What better way to celebrate spring than with a floral and honey forward refresher?
How to make the Angry Bee:
Ingredients:
wildbrumby Dandelion & Honey schnapps 60mL
Fresh Lemon Juice 15mL
Soda Water
An edible flower
Method:
Fill a highball glass with ice and pour in our wildbrumby Dandelion & Honey schnapps and fresh lemon juice. Stir in ingredients and top with high-quality soda water.
Want to make this drink extra special? First, add ice to your highball glass and fill it halfway with soda water. To a cocktail shaker, add ice, fresh lemon juice, our wildbrumby Dandelion & Honey schnapps and shake well.
Using the cocktail shaker will thoroughly mix these ingredients and creates a soft texture that tastes phenomenal and is sure to impress your friends.
Strain the contents of your cocktail shaker into your highball glass and top with extra soda water if needed. Garnish with your favourite edible flower – our pick is the dandelion, of course!

Our seasonal Coffee Liqueur is available from Saturday April 26 for a limited time!
Skip the soap and slippers—this Mother’s Day, give her something deliciously different. We’ve brewed up a round of indulgent cocktails featuring our seasonal Wildbrumby Coffee Liqueur Schnapps, with a cheeky bonus: a free 60ml Kosciuszko Vodka this weekend only. From espresso martinis to creamy brunch blends, here’s how to shake things up for Mum in style.
The Espresso Martini – A Coffee Date with a Kick
Some cocktails are made for celebration. Others for quiet moments.
And then there’s the espresso martini—a cocktail that does both.
At its heart, the espresso martini is a love letter to coffee, wrapped in a velvet glove of vodka and liqueur, and served with just enough attitude to turn a sleepy evening into something far more exciting.
The drink’s origins are suitably cheeky. The story goes that a now-famous London bartender created it after a model walked into the bar and asked for something that would “wake me up, and then mess me up.”
We like her style.
At Wildbrumby distillery, we’ve put our alpine twist on this contemporary classic—featuring our seasonal Coffee Liqueur Schnapps, handcrafted with real espresso and a smooth finish that practically begs to be shaken.
And because we love a good reason to celebrate, we’re including a FREE 60ml Kosciuszko Vodka with every bottle of Coffee Liqueur Schnapps ordered over the weekend (April 26–27). Just enough to get you (or Mum) started on the perfect espresso martini.
So, how do you mix one?
Wildbrumby Espresso Martini
Ingredients:
– 45ml Wildbrumby Coffee Liqueur Schnapps
– 30ml Kosciuszko Vodka
– 30ml Fresh Espresso (double shot, ideally)
– Ice
– Coffee beans (for garnish)
Method:
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Shake well—think alpine breeze in a snowstorm—until the shaker feels icy cold.
Double strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with three coffee beans (a traditional nod to health, wealth and happiness).
Sip immediately while the crema is still fresh and frothy on top.
Café au Schnapps
Think brunch. But bolder.
This is the morning-after version of the espresso martini—lighter, creamier, and a bit decadent.
Ingredients:
– 45ml Coffee Liqueur Schnapps
– 30ml Fresh cream
– 15ml Kosciuszko Vodka
– Dash of vanilla extract
– Ice
Method:
Add all ingredients to a shaker with plenty of ice. Shake until silky, then strain into a small coupe glass or tumbler. Garnish with grated dark chocolate or a dusting of cinnamon.
Mocha Mountain Martini
A touch of chocolate, a hint of spice, and a bold coffee finish.
Perfect for fireside sipping after a long day on the slopes.
Ingredients:
– 40ml Coffee Liqueur Schnapps
– 20ml Kosciuszko Vodka
– 10ml Chocolate liqueur
– Dash of Devil’s Tongue schnapps or a pinch of cayenne (optional)
Method:
Shake all ingredients with ice until well chilled, then strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a thin slice of dried orange or a dusting of cocoa powder.
A Few Final Tips from the Distiller’s Bench
– Use fresh espresso. Stale coffee won’t do your martini any favours.
– Chill everything. Glass, shaker, vodka—cold is key.
– Shake with confidence. The iconic crema on top only comes from a good, hard shake.
– Drink fresh. This isn’t a cocktail to let linger.

So, you’ve bought a seasonal Pure Berry schnapps—or you’re about to—but you’re not sure how to enjoy it. Let us help! There’s nothing we hate more than hearing about a bottle of schnapps, bought 12 months ago, still gathering dust in the back of a cupboard. (Please, for the love of all that’s good, don’t leave it in a musty cellar like a vintage German red wine from 1540!)
To prevent this travesty, we’ve created some tantalizing Pure Berry cocktail recipes for you to try at home, using the simplest ingredients. Rest assured, we’ve tested them all for quality control.
Summer may be over, but as we said in January, one of our 2025 resolutions is to make the most of every season. Resolution No. 2 is to notice the beauty all around us. There are few things more beautiful than watching the sun set over the mountains—especially from the top of Mt. Kosciuszko. But watching an autumn sunset from the comfort of your own patio or balcony, with an autumn berry cocktail in hand? That kind of beauty is unbeatable.
Wildbrumby Pure Berry Schnapps is more than just a drink; it’s a celebration of the changing seasons, tradition, and the craftsmanship that thrives in the heart of Australia’s Snowy Mountains. For over 22 years, Wildbrumby Distillery has been pouring passion into creating spirits that reflect the alpine bounty surrounding us. It all starts with the fruit—organic raspberries, grown right here on the property for over two decades, alongside carefully chosen blackberries, blueberries, and both red and black currants. This perfect blend brings a depth of flavor that’s vibrantly fresh and naturally sweet, capturing the very essence of the fruit.
Our distillation process happens in our beloved German-made Kothe still, affectionately called “Joan”—named after Brad’s late mother. With a 600-liter capacity, Joan gives us complete control over each batch, ensuring every sip reflects the purity and complexity of our hand-picked ingredients. The result? A schnapps that bursts with ripe berry aromas, offers a smooth, juicy sip, and finishes light and refreshing, leaving you with the warmth of natural fruit sweetness.
Whether you’re sipping Wildbrumby Pure Berry Schnapps neat or on ice, you’ll experience the full spectrum of berry flavors unfolding with each taste. Add a splash of sparkling water to highlight its crispness, or drizzle it over ice cream or fresh fruit for a gourmet dessert twist. This seasonal delight is perfect for those who appreciate handcrafted spirits and the artistry behind them. More than just a drink, it’s a tribute to the land, the fruit, and the dedication we pour into every bottle.

Similarly, to make the finest Pink Lady Apple schnapps cocktail, though you don’t have to pick the apples yourself (because we’ve done that part) you have to put in a bit of extra effort. It’s worth it.

30ml Pink Lady Apple Schnapps
30ml Rubus Patch Gin
30ml Rhubarb and Rose Syrup*
One egg white
Dusting of cinnamon
Pro Tip: For a vegan friendly alternative to egg white, use Wonderfoam Cocktail Foamer. Purchase online from Only Bitters here.

Add Pink Lady Apple Schnapps, Rubus Patch Gin, one egg white, and Rhubarb Syrup to an ice-filled cocktail shaker (see instructions below for making Rhubarb and Rose Syrup).
Once shaken, strain contents into a martini glass and dust with cinnamon. Drink to your heart’s content.
*Ingredients for Rhubarb and Rose Syrup:
• 2 cups rhubarb, chopped
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1-2 tbsp dried rose petals (or 1-2 tbsp rose water)
• 1 tbsp lime juice
Instructions:
Let the syrup cool, then transfer it to a bottle or jar. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
In a saucepan, combine rhubarb, sugar, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb breaks down and the liquid thickens.
Add the rose petals (or rose water) and lemon juice. Stir well and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids.
This cocktail is pink, pretty and a little bit tart.

If you’re a fan of our peach nectar schnapps you’re probably familiar with our twist on the perfect bellini cocktail. It’s a two-step, wildbrumby classic. The name ‘Bellini’ feels like an obvious choice for a heavenly cocktail.
In recent years the peach nectar or puree has been swapped out for quality peach schnapps. And whilst the Bellini has lost its notable pink hue, it has only improved in taste!
Hot tip: Swap out Peach Schnapps for Pink Lady Apple schnapps and garnish with an apple slice.
Ingredients:
20mL wildbrumby peach schnapps (or pink lady apple schnapps)
130mL of wildbrumby Brut
One peach (preferably a white peach)
Method:
Take a fresh peach and slice out a thin wedge, keeping the skin on. Garnish your chilled champagne flute with the peach slice then add wildbrumby Peach Schnapps. Angle the champagne flute on a 45-degree angle and slowly fill the glass with wildbrumby Brut.
Make sure to keep the lip of your wildbrumby Brut bottle close to the champagne flute and straighten the glass as it fills. This will help control bubbles and the brut and schnapps will mix evenly. Ta da! Your bubbly peach treat is ready to be served.

Summer is the perfect season to enjoy new, exciting mango cocktails. From a Chilli Mango Margarita to a Mango Mimosa, we’ve got so many delicious creations you can try at home!
Mangoes are the summertime fruit that can be enjoyed any time of the day. From jazzing up morning cereal bowls to elevating the humble pavlova and making salads exciting, mangoes are everywhere at this time of year and they go in just about everything. So, of course we had to make a mango schnapps!
Selecting the highest quality mangoes is only the start of our mango schnapps making process. The fruit is fermented at our alpine distillery before being distilled and bottled in our signature frosted bottles.
At wildbrumby distillery, we’re proud to make exceptional schnapps. And with this schnapps it’s like we’ve captured the summer sunshine and bottled it for your enjoyment.
Our wildbrumby mango schnapps has a bright aroma and embodies the true tastes of tropical, summer mangoes – yum!
