Book excerpt: The Craft & Culture of Artisan Schnaps reveals the difference between Austrian Schnaps and the Schnapps known to many Americans. Schnaps is made by distilling fruit-much like eau-de-vie, grappa and slivovitz. It is wholly different than its American version which is vodka infused with fruit. Part memoir and part how-to, The Craft & Culture of Artisan Schnaps tells the story of the author's own experience in the Austrian Alps learning, appreciating and making Schnaps. Ross shares his insights and recipes with his readers.
