Otherwise, I would need to delete lots of anonymous spam comments per day (I was doing that, and when I switched, it knocked it down to a few a week) and probably need to hold all comments for posting until I could screen them all.frederichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939679837071519844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-75760708903598593532013-01-24T01:33:21.330-05:002013-01-24T01:33:21.330-05:00I do love an eau de vie cocktail, and this is a gr...I do love an eau de vie cocktail, and this is a great one. My liquor cabinet includes several kirschwassers, a couple pear (St. George & Massenez), apricot, quince, a German oak-barrel-aged apple similar to calvados, plus both German and French Mirabellen eaux de vie - the German one is an overproof brandy mixed with fruit extract to bring it back to 80º, both work quite well for this cocktail.<br /><br />However, I really wish I didn't have to sign up for yet another extraneous Internet account (of which I already have far too many) just to post a comment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04316996785221754501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-14220049282091487022013-01-22T21:43:45.622-05:002013-01-22T21:43:45.622-05:00Eau de vies are rather dry and are more of a chall...Eau de vies are rather dry and are more of a challenge to mix with; often, they were palate cleansers or afterdinner drinks. However, there are a number of recipes out there. The most common eau de vie is kirsch (or kirschwasser) which is dry cherry. We also have an Armenian dry apricot one. The downside is that they are pricey and they get less use than other bar ingredients, but they often come in half bottle sizes as well.<br /><br />There is also a Douglas Fir eau de vie that offers a lot of pine notes that bartenders have had good luck with.frederichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939679837071519844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-78493846136695262302013-01-22T21:34:08.263-05:002013-01-22T21:34:08.263-05:00I am curious about eau de vie.
