Raspberry brandy

Raspberry brandy is a distilled liquor made from the fermentation and subsequent distillation of raspberries. It is characterized by its sweet and fruity flavor, with an intense aroma that preserves the fresh and slightly acidic notes of the fruit. This brandy is used in various recipes to provide an aromatic touch and a unique flavor profile, both in desserts and cocktails and in savory preparations that require a fruity and alcoholic nuance.

Its origin lies in regions that produce red berries, especially in Eastern European countries and some Latin American countries where raspberries are abundant. In Spain and various Hispanic American countries, raspberry brandy is valued for its artisanal quality, often being produced in a traditional manner.

Among its properties, its high alcohol content, which ranges between 30% and 40%, and its richness in natural aromatic compounds from the raspberry stand out, providing a distinctive flavor without the need for artificial additives. Furthermore, being a distilled spirit, it contains no added sugars, making it purer compared to other fruit liqueurs.

In the gastronomic field, raspberry brandy is ideal for marinades, sweet sauces, glazes, and pastries, in addition to being the base for refreshing cocktails.
