Liquid fruit

Alsatian fruit brandies. Pear, cherries, raspberry, yellow mirabelle plum, quince. To be drunk with moderation!!! Specially with heatwave we're having here! They are quite expensive, but you can get them from  farmer in Germany, 4 miles away, for 10 to 12 euros.

More b&w here for your weekend. Enjoy!
