Create special moments with three schnappy spring cocktails inspired by the flavours of the Snowy Mountains.
Wildbrumby’s Dandelion & Honey schnapps is a floral, honeyed delight that bottles the essence of spring in the Snowy Mountains.
From the flower to the glass
Crafted with wild dandelion flowers and local alpine honey, our Dandelion & Honey schnapps is balanced with our classic Pink Lady apple base. Its rounded sweetness pairs beautifully with citrus, gin, tea and even seductive smoky flavours.
Our distiller has created three buzz-worthy cocktails that show just how versatile this floral little number can be. From a soft after-dinner indulgence to a bright, citrusy coupe and a long, refreshing spritz, there’s a schnappy moment for every spring occasion!
Find your favourite
Milk & Honey: A Little After-Dinner Indulgence
Soft, silky and just a little seductive. Milk & Honey combines honeyed schnapps with vodka, topped with an airy milk foam and a subtle hint of smoke. A lovely way to wind down after dinner.
Alpine Bee’s Knees: A Bright Little Number
A zesty twist on a classic! Gin and lemon bring a refreshing citrus kick to the floral sweetness of Dandelion & Honey schnapps. Perfect for a sunny spring afternoon.
Alpine Meadow Spritz: Spring in a Glass
Long, light and refreshingly floral. Chamomile and lime mingle with cucumber, mint and soda for a spritz that captures the freshness of an alpine meadow.
Each cocktail starts with the same seasonal schnapps, but brings out a different side of its floral, honeyed character.
Whether you’re relaxing with friends in the afternoon sunshine or winding down after dinner, a special schnappy moment is:
As easy as 1, 2, 3!
Three schnappy cocktails to sweeten your spring
Alpine Bee’s Knees
This is our own alpine interpretation of the Bee’s Knees: a short, fresh cocktail that pairs Dandelion & Honey Schnapps with wildbrumby Classic Gin. Lemon sharpens the finish while a little honey rounds the edges.
Ingredients:
• 40ml wildbrumby Dandelion & Honey Schnapps
• 40ml wildbrumby Classic Gin
• 10ml honey
• 20ml fresh lemon juice
• Ice
• Optional garnish: a small piece of honeycomb or beeswax
To Make It:
Add the schnapps, gin, honey, lemon juice and ice to a shaker. Shake hard until well chilled, then double strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a small piece of honeycomb if desired.
Milk & Honey
A gentle, rounded drink with a little contrast. Dandelion & Honey brings floral sweetness, vodka keeps the base clean, and a few drops of smoke add a savoury edge beneath the airy foam.
Ingredients:
• 45ml wildbrumby Dandelion & Honey Schnapps
• 30ml Kosciuszko Vodka
• 20ml honey syrup (1:1 honey and water)
• A few drops of food-grade liquid smoke or smoked bitters
• *Milk foam, made with milk and cream in a cream gun
To Make It:
Add the schnapps, vodka, honey syrup and ice to a shaker. Add only a few drops of liquid smoke, or a small dash of smoked bitters. Shake until cold and strain over fresh ice into a rocks glass. Finish with a light cap of milk foam.
*Light milk foam for the cream gun:
• 250ml full-cream milk
• 50ml pouring cream
To Make It:
Whisk together 250 ml cold full-cream milk and 50 ml cold pouring cream. Pour into a clean 0.5 L cream gun, keeping below its fill line. Fit the head, charge with one N2O charger, shake six times and chill for at least 30 minutes. Hold the gun upside down and dispense a small cloud over each drink. Follow the maker’s instructions for other gun sizes and cleaning.
Alpine Meadow Spritz
A longer drink for a warm spring afternoon. Chilled chamomile tea softens the floral schnapps, lime brings lift, and soda opens it into a refreshing spritz.
Ingredients:
• 30 ml wildbrumby Dandelion & Honey Schnapps
• 20 ml wildbrumby Kosciuszko vodka
• 60 ml cold chamomile tea
• 15 ml fresh lime juice
• 10 ml honey syrup
• Soda water, to top
• Cucumber, mint and lime to garnish
• Ice
To Make It:
Add the schnapps, vodka, cold chamomile tea, lime juice, honey syrup and ice to a shaker. Shake briefly, then strain into a tall glass filled with fresh ice. Top with soda and garnish with cucumber, mint and lime.
