30 minutes
Ratafia is an ancient Russian liqueur infused with the spirit of traditions. Its roots go back centuries when the art of infusing drinks was considered a special skill. The rich and intense flavor of cherry juice harmonizes with warm spicy notes of clove, while dry plum pits add a subtle hint of bitterness. This drink is perfect for leisurely evenings when you want to savor the depth of flavor. It should be chilled before serving to fully reveal its aromas. Ratafia serves as a wonderful aperitif that awakens the appetite but can also complement desserts, enhancing their sweetness and richness.
