More Sloe Gin
As my intrepid husband Sam knows, there’s no business like sloe business.
Hi, I'm Andie.
I live near the Swiss Alps, in Bern, and I love not only melting cheese, but all kinds of Swiss cooking.

Like Switzerland’s beloved boozy coffee, but in cake form.
A Valais version of the classic French dessert. The custard is infused with saffron (did you know they grow it in Valais?) and Distillery Morand’s delicious mousse replaces the fussy meringues.
That’s right, you don’t have to poach meringues AND you get a hit of booze. You’re welcome.
This isn’t your typical, overly sweet Christmas market Glühwein—it’s a generously spiced, serve at an intimate dinner party kind of Glühwein. It’s how to be a festive wine mom.
After a hard day of breaking flax, there’s no better reward than this traditional caramel schnapps.
Adventures in making sloe gin, a guest post by my husband Sam, in which he reveals our household motto: as long as it’s plummy, it’s bound to be yummy.
Switzerland has some seriously great craft beer and the highest brewery to citizen ratio in the world.
The grandfather of craft beer in Switzerland is Brasserie de Franches Montagnes, or BFM, who make a lovely brown ale, La Torpille, perfect for flavouring ice cream.
Of course the best kirsch should be drunk alone, however there are a wealth of drinks, like this Kirsch Sour, that could be made with less exclusive varieties (I know everyone who has ever made cheese fondue has a bottle in their liquor cabinet).
It's the fountain of youth in monkey form!
The name of this 1920s cocktail refers to the practice of grafting monkey testicles onto human testicles. For rejuvenation!
Holunderblütensirup (elderflower syrup) is a syrup of many uses. In Switzerland it is added with abandon to sparking water, wine or cocktails (Hugo) for a light and floral summery taste.
These boozy balls are ones you'll actually want to eat.
You can make them gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, even booze-free—the variety is endless.
