Himbeergeist
Himbeergeist (lit "raspberry spirit", also known as raspberry spirit obtained by maceration and distillation,[1] eau de vie de framboise[2] or simply framboise[3]) is a geist (a type of eau de vie or Schnapps) made from raspberries.[4] Raspberries have a low sugar content that can only produce a limited amount of alcohol, so Himbeergeist is created by macerating fresh berries in 96% pure neutral spirits.[5][6] The mixture is then steeped for several weeks to draw out the raspberry essence, distilled, diluted with purified water, and bottled at 37.5% ABV or stronger.[1] It takes about 17 pounds (7.7 kg) of raspberries to produce one liter of Himbeergeist.[7] It is traditionally served below room temperature, neat, in a fluted tulip glass.
