Schümli Pflümli & Co

Whether you need a love potion, a drink that conjures up a Christmas market, the perfect wine to accompany a fondue or simply a family-friendly treat - there's a Swiss drink for everyone.

Bestselling author Andie Pilot takes you on a thirst-quenching journey through the world of Swiss drinks! With almost a hundred recipes for every time of day, there are drinks to enjoy at home or to celebrate. With plenty of playfully illustrated instructions and beautiful photos of the finished products, this is a book for anyone who knows that drinks can be the highlight of a celebration. Discover the secret of Swiss milk and learn how to make the most of it - with delicious hot chocolate, milkshakes and frothy coffees. A drive through picturesque farms whose orchards produce apple cider and all kinds of fruit schnapps. A look into the woods leads to drinks flavored with pine branches and the most notorious Swiss drink of all, the green fairy, absinthe. Andie introduces the highest brewery and the smallest vineyard in Europe, and the fine Alpine herbs that go into everything from syrups and spirits to the country's legendary iced teas. No tour of Swiss drinks is complete without knowing the secrets of après-ski: lots of alcohol, whipped cream and coffee that's lit on fire. Along the way, Andie takes readers behind the scenes at distilleries and breweries and talks to the people who make the drinks, with stories about alchemists, Cesar Ritz and the dogs of the Hospice du Grand-Saint-Bernard. Whether you need a love potion, a drink that conjures up a Christmas market, the perfect wine to accompany a fondue or simply a family-friendly treat, there's a Swiss drink for everyone.
