Rose Schnapps Recipes

Nastoykas (Tinctures)

 
   Rose schnapps - based on flower buds from any highly fragrant garden rose or wild rose - is really delicious. Rose schnapps blends very well with many flavoured schnappses based on roots, stems and leaves. Serve with light foods or enjoy it on its own as an aperitif.
