Himbeergeist is a type of German Schnaps that is distinguished from other Schnaps by its method of production. It is produced by means of distilling a mixture of neutral spirit (of 95.6% purity) and fresh, ripe raspberries. This process is used (instead of fermentation of the raspberries) because raspberries contain very little sugar and therefore produce little alcohol when fermented.〔(Die Schnapsbrenner ) Detailed description of the method of production, in German.〕〔(Fachlexikon ) General information about the production of Schnaps, including Himbeergeist, in German.〕 The mixture of alcohol and raspberries is rested for several weeks to transfer flavor and aroma to the alcohol. It is then distilled and bottled at 40% ABV or stronger. Himbeergeist is produced mainly in Germany and the Alsace region of France. Its name is derived from the German ''Himbeere'' (raspberry) and ''Geist'' (spirit). ==See also== *Brandy *Fruit brandy *Eau-de-vie *German Schnaps * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Himbeergeist」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
