At wildbrumby, we’re singing too – or rather, buzzing – about our new spring cocktail menu incorporating our seasonal Dandelion & Honey schnapps: a floral and herbaceous honey-sweet treat.
This springtime schnapps incorporates wild, handpicked dandelion flowers and local alpine honey with a base of our Pink Lady Apple schnapps.
This vibrant yellow flower is highly aromatic and known as one of the most common edible flowers. Our schnapps was inspired by a traditional German farmhouse recipe for a dandelion syrup made by boiling down dandelion flowers to a honey-like consistency. This “faux” dandelion honey can be used to flavour a number of meals and beverages.
In teas and drinks, dandelion gives off a rich herbaceous and floral flavour and is often served alongside honey and lemon.
That’s right. 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.
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.
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 simple cocktails like our Beez Kneez or Angry Bee. What better way to celebrate spring than with a floral and honey forward refresher?
Ingredients:
wildbrumby Dandelion & Honey schnapps 30mL
wildbrumby Classic Gin 30mL
Fresh Lemon Juice 15mL
A teaspoon of honey (or to taste)
Method:
Fill an Old Fashioned or tumbler glass with ice and add all ingredients. Give the mix a good stir and add a lemon garnish (or fresh honeycomb if you want to go all out!).
How easy is that?
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!

For those who appreciate the finer things in life, wildbrumby Truffle Schnapps is a must-try. This remarkable spirit combines the earthy luxury of snowy mountain truffles with the crisp sweetness of pink lady apples, creating a flavor experience that’s as unique as it is sophisticated.
Truffles, often referred to as “the diamonds of the kitchen,” are prized for their rich and complex flavors. These fungi grow underground in symbiosis with tree roots and are known for their intense, aromatic quality. Snowy Mountain truffles are celebrated for their delicate yet profound taste, which is beautifully captured in wildbrumby Truffle Schnapps.
This schnapps makes a stunning aperitif, offering a refined start to any meal. The initial aroma of truffle gives way to a pleasingly sweet and slightly fruity apple note, creating a balanced and intriguing flavor profile.
Beyond its role as an aperitif, wildbrumby Truffle Schnapps is a versatile companion to various dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with creamy pasta, where its truffle notes complement the richness of the sauce. Similarly, it enhances the flavors of a hearty risotto, adding a touch of sophistication to each bite. For a more casual pairing, try it with a selection of antipasto; the schnapps’ unique flavor profile elevates cured meats, cheeses, and olives, making for a memorable appetizer.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a meal at home, wildbrumby Truffle Schnapps adds a layer of elegance and flavor that makes every dining experience exceptional. Indulge in the luxury of truffles and discover how this extraordinary spirit can transform your next meal.
Elevate your cocktail game with the Aperitivo Tartuffo, a refined and elegant drink that perfectly showcases the unique flavors of wildbrumby Truffle Schnapps. This sophisticated cocktail combines the earthy richness of truffle with the crisp, herbal notes of white vermouth, creating a balanced and refreshing aperitif.
Ingredients:
To prepare, start by filling a tumbler with ice. Next, pour in 45 ml of wildbrumby Truffle Schnapps and 45 ml of white vermouth. Stir gently to mix the spirits and chill the mixture thoroughly. Garnish with a green olive for a touch of classic elegance.
The Aperitivo Tartuffo is a perfect choice for a pre-dinner drink, offering a delightful blend of truffle’s earthy complexity and vermouth’s crispness. Serve it chilled and enjoy a sophisticated start to your meal!
