BevMax International) Cocktail enthusiasts long have been anticipating the arrival of Austrian Rothman & Winter Creme de Vlolette, a delectable elixir handmade from fine grape spirits and cane sugar macerated with wild alpine violets.
After the grapes are pressed, the juice is only allowed to ferment for a few days and, once it has reached 6-8 degrees abv, it is poured into a 550-litre cask filled to one-fifth with a neutral grape spirit.
Yeast cannot withstand high alcohol, so winemakers add neutral grape spirits to stop the yeast's work, leaving unfermented sugar behind.
