Fruit Liqueur

A cherry liqueur from Denmark. Happily drinkable on its own or with a mixer. The makers also recommend adding a splash of gin or vodka for a bit of an extra kick...

A sweet and fruity rhubarb and strawberry liqueur from the German liqueur experts at Berentzen.

A deeply coloured schnapps from German spirits experts Berentzen, flavoured with forest fruits and great chilled.

A slightly drier version of the above apple schnapps, suitable for use in cocktails where an apple flavour is required without contributing too much sugar to the drink.

Bramley & Gage's version of much-loved countryside favourite Sloe Gin, made with wild hand-harvested hedgerow sloes. B & G are so committed to quality they even make their own gin...

A delicious bilberry liqueur from Lejay-Lagoute, packaged in their recognisable reto-styled bottle.

All-conquering lady-friendly peach liqueur credited with kickstarting the entire category since its launch in the mid-'80s.
