Ingredients

Instructions

Wash the mountain ash berries and drain well. Strip them from the panicles. In a bowl, lightly mash the berries with the crushed brown rock candy. Cover and let stand overnight.
The next day, crush the cloves and cinnamon stick in a mortar. Transfer the berry mixture and all its juice to a large glass bottle. Add the crushed cloves and cinnamon. Pour the schnapps (grain or brandy) into the bottle. Seal the bottle tightly and place in a bright location away from direct sunlight. Let stand for 3 months, shaking every few days.
Strain the mixture. Transfer the liqueur to clean bottles and store in a cool, dim location for 8 months before serving.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
