Nobody complains when this Drache Nationale starts pouring down (“drache” is Belgian French for downpour)!
Blackcurrant, lemon, strawberry: taste it, it’s the black yellow and red of the Belgian flag in a glass! A refreshing summer rain, with the sweetness of the fruit balanced by the acidic lemon. This festive aperitif made with Vin Doux Naturel can be enjoyed neat or in a Kir, or to add a touch of “Belgitude” to your cocktails. The best way to drink it? With friends, of course (and not just on 21 July, Belgian National Day)…

Ah man, I’ve got something new that will straighten your dreadlocks: Zion, it isn’t paradise! It’s much more accessible than that, it’s an aperitif, and it’s called Rasta Spirit… In Baugnies, in the (large) suburb of Kingston, there’s a young white guy who makes me forget about Ganja. Now I run on apple and lime. Less smoke and more fruit: at last man, the green transition is cool!

This Sale Gosse (French for “brat”) is anything but a punishment for your palate! No bad seed here, it’s all good: blackcurrant (for once we’ve managed to get some fruit inside!) and a (little) touch of alcohol. Despite its feisty character, Sale Gosse can be left alone without supervision, but also knows how to be sociable when required: it gets on well with ice cubes, or even a dry or sparkling white wine… Plenty to soften its hard edges, and make it a socially acceptable choice for everyone! And if you want to calm it down: drown it in a sorbet!

Its alcohol content of 14.5% and lemony acidic notes will soon remind you of what this really is. Something you’ll love to hate…
