Bornholmer Spirituosen
Schnapps for the cold Christmas table
The cold Christmas table is a classic with marinated herring, smoked salmon and shellfish. Here are the best schnapps to complement the flavors:
- Frost Akvavit : A mild and clean schnapps with notes of caraway and citrus. Perfect with marinated herring and smoked fish.
- Dill Akvavit : Its fresh dill flavor is ideal for gravad salmon and fresh seafood.
Tip : Serve the schnapps at 5-7 degrees for the best taste experience.
Schnapps for Christmas dinner
Schnapps for the warm Christmas table
The strong flavors of rib roast, pork roast and browned potatoes require a schnapps with character:
- Organic Oak-Aged Akvavit : Its spicy notes of cardamom and black pepper balance the richness of the hot dishes.
- Fig Schnapps : With its sweet and complex flavor, it is a great choice for medister and roasted apples.
- Organic Christmas Akvavit : The spicy notes of caraway and cloves embrace your taste buds in a pleasant and balanced flavor combination. The Christmas akvavit is perfect with roast pork, liver pâté and dark fish.
Schnapps for Christmas desserts
Christmas' sweet temptations like rice pudding and apple slices deserve a schnapps with sweetness and finesse:
-
Special Edition 2 - Apple, Vanilla and Almond : A sweet schnapps with notes of traditional apple cake. Perfect for risalamande and apple slices. If you want to make an apple cake during the Christmas season, the schnapps is also great for flambéing with the fresh apples.
- Special Edition 1 - Rhubarb & Star Anise: The sweet schnapps, which was developed with Casper Sobczyk, creates a nice balance with the rice alamande, and can also be poured over the rice alamande instead of the classic cherry sauce.
- Sevablødda: For many, Sevablødda is Christmas in a bottle, and we understand that. Sevablødda has fantastic Christmas notes of cinnamon, cloves and cherries, making it a perfect pairing for desserts. Sevablødda can also be used as an aperitif, both in its pure form and in the drink, Stormy Bornholmer.
Schnapps and cheese
Schnapps for the cheese table
The cheese board is an obvious end to the Christmas lunch, and schnapps is an exciting partner here:
- Limited Edition No. 7 - Pear: With its sweet notes of flavorful organic pear, the pear schnapps is a perfect choice for strong cheeses like Gorgonzola and blue cheese.
- Fig schnapps: The sweetness from the organic figs is a fantastic choice with mild cheeses such as Emmental, West Sea cheese and Maroilles.
