Spruce Liqueur
(“Pinija”)
This sweet liqueur is perfect for those who like the scent of spruce and pine trees. Our great-grandmother gave us the recipe: a vessel filled with alternating layers of pine, spruce sprouts and sugar is placed in the sun until the sugar dissolves. The syrup obtained in this process is then blended with natural fruit brandy.
The liqueur is famous not only for its delicious aromatic taste, but also for its therapeutic effects: it is a good cough medicine, as it helps to loosen phlegm and clear bronchial congestion, and helps overcome spring tiredness.
