What is Berentzen Apple Pie?

Apfelkorn as apple pie

Berentzen Apfeltaartje is Apfelkorn with an apple pie flavor. It’s made from a distillate of 100% wheat, with German apple varieties harvested at just the right time. The baked apple pie flavor makes it smoother and sweeter than the fresh-tasting Apfelkorn.

At 14.5% alcohol, Apfeltaartje is the lightest in the Berentzen family; Apfelkorn comes in at 18%. It’s made to be drunk ice-cold as a shot, preferably with a dollop of whipped cream and a pinch of cinnamon. Just like you’d eat a slice of apple pie.

How to drink it

From shot to warm apple

Apfeltaartje is a dessert shot, but it also works warm in winter.

Ice-cold and neat

Put the bottle in the freezer for a few hours and pour 2 cl into a shot glass. The cold makes the sweetness less pronounced and the apple taste fresher.

Shot glasses →

In warm apple juice

4 cl Apfeltaartje in 150 ml warm apple juice, with a cinnamon stick. A winter drink for after skating or by the fireplace.
