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.
What is Pure Berry Schnapps?
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.
