The core component of the schnapps, the sea-buckthorn berries, used for centuries for their nutritional and medicinal value, are particularly high in Vitamin C and other valuable compounds. The natural essential oils enrich the beverage with a distinctive pleasant and slightly bitter hint. Sea Buckthorn Schnapps is a vibrantly fruity, sweet and sour moderately strong beverage prepared from organically grown Estonian sea-buckthorns and local 100% organic rye spirit.
Sea Buckthorn Schnapps was born in the kitchen of Põhjaka Manor, the awarded manor restaurant in Central Estonia promoting local culinary traditions and serving food of only local origin. It was in 2011 when the head waiter of Põhjaka Manor, Silver, prepared the first jarful of sea buckthorn schnapps. The schnapps was delicious and tasted novel. From now on, Silver together with the chefs of the restaurant amended the recipe, improved the technology and soon started serving the beverage also to their clients. The schnapps was very warmly welcomed so today the Sea Buckthorn Schnapps is served in numerous other restaurants and sold in stores all over Estonia. In 2014 a renowned small distillery was launched that enables producing the schnapps still hand made yet in larger quantities.
Serving: Sea Buckthorn Schnapps can perfectly be served as an appetizer, accompanying a dessert or enjoyed as an independent drink. We recommend serving it at room temperature or lightly chilled. The schnapps suits ideally in mixed cocktails or ameliorating different food recipes.
