Hi /ck/,

Some German lodgers (you know, they pay to stay in a room in your house temporarily) left us some gifts, including this, as a leaving present.

Anyone know what this is, or any recommendations on the best way to have it? I'm going to go investigate on Google but you guys would probably know what to do too.

Thanks. Will post info if I find any.

forgot to mention, put Mario in the photo because why the fuck not.

I would suppose it's cherry schnapps.
Drink it. It's a shotglass worth.

[Anonymous No.3889025]

>>3889024
so I'm meant to down it in a shot glass?
Or can it be mixed with anything?
Google isn't helping

[Anonymous No.3889038]

Yes, you either drink it pure as a shot or you can add it with sugar to black coffee or you use it for cooking or baking (eg. for Black Forest cake)

'Black Forest Cherry Brandy' apparently.
Anyone have any thoughts?

[Anonymous No.3889040]

>>3889038
might try it with coffee.

How much would I add to the coffee?

[Anonymous No.3889041]

it's booze made of fermented cherries.
it's like "the secret ingredient" for Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte. It gives anything you cook a Cherrie Aroma, we use it especially for cakes.

If you drink it, it should be 14-16 °C.

If you are American, i'd suggest mixing it with Coke, have as longdrink.

[Anonymous No.3889042]

I drink it neat, although I also find it makes a really awesome cocktail if you mix 4 parts kirschwasser, 1 part cointreau, juice from half a lemon, shake with ice, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass with the rim lined with granulated sugar.

It's sort of a sidecar but not really.

[Anonymous No.3889043]

Here in Germany people drink Schnaps to rest their stomach and help digestion after dinner.
You don't mix most of them although they taste really good.
And "cherry brandy", yeah, no.

[Anonymous No.3889046]

>>3889040
Depends on your taste, some people add a lot... About 1 oz per cup coffee might be a normal amount

[Anonymous No.3889053]

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm going to hang out with a couple of my friends tonight, and I want to bring this along so we can all try it.

>Is there enough in that bottle for all three of us to try it?
>If I have some with coffee, will there still be enough?

I reckon there should be enough, but id like a second opinion if that's cool.
I like the idea of having it with coffee, and i dont have the ingredients to make it into a cocktail, thanks for the feedback though

I don't know if maybe in Germany the term "schnapps" means something very different compared to what Amerifats know, but here in Americlapsreich, schnapps is a sweet liqueur and kirschwasser is only slightly sweet, if at all.

[Anonymous No.3889068]

You couldn't pay me enough to have some sauerkraut sandwich eating jerries staying in my house.

[Anonymous No.3889069]

>>3889059
Didn't know that. So a Schnaps here in Germany is a high percentage burned alcoholic beverage.
I guess what Americans call "schnapps" would be called Likör (Liquor) in Germany. Likör is pretty sweet stuff under 35% or something.

You're either a troll or totally retarded.

[Anonymous No.3889080]

I should also add that´s one cheap-ass brand. I see it in the supermarket everytime.

I'm in the UK, they were German, I have no idea.

[Anonymous No.3889083]

Figures. Brits appeasing the Krauts again.
Nothing ever changes.

Funny guy, but this isn't /int/ or /pol/.

[Anonymous No.3889109]

Just made myself a cup of tea, tempted to add a little to that.

Bad move, or should I do it for shits and giggles?

[Anonymous No.3889113]

Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte is the only answer here. Google a recipe and enjoy.

[Serkit !eSpvUDpflw No.3889262]

I mixed some with Coke once. It tasted alright.

[Anonymous No.3889698]

No, it's meant do be consumed pure, not even cooled.

[Anonymous No.3891508]

It is also a ingredient of Swiss Cheese Fondue

[Anonymous No.3891524]

Make a Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte. What you have certainly isn't enough to have a round with your friends and downing a shot all alone is pretty pointless.

Black Forest Cake
1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup kirschwasser
1/2 cup butter
3 cups powdered sugar
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon strong coffee
2 (14 ounce) cans pitted Bing cherries
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon kirschwasser
1 ounce square semisweet chocolate, grated or chopped
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 2 cake pans
Sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Cream together shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Then add in the flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, until combined. Pour into cake pans and bake for 35-40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle with kirschwasser.
In a bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, salt and coffee and beat until smooth. Add cherry juice from canned cherries if too thick.
In another bowl, beat the cream to stiff peaks. Beat in vanilla and kirschwasser.
Reserve 13 cherries for the top and chop up the rest.
Cut cakes in half horizontally, making 4 layers total. Spread first layer of cake with 1/3 icing filling and cherries. Repeat with all layers. Then frost with whipped cream frosting. Place 1 cherry in the center top, and the rest around the edge of the cake. Then sprinkle chocolate shavings in center.
