If you’d like to serve something other than store-bought spirits as an aperitif, this “vin de buisson” (also known as “vin d’épine”) is perfect for you! Here’s the recipe, just as my father makes it in the Dordogne. In fact, he treats us to a new batch every year.

The blackthorn is a shrub that grows wild or is often used as a hedge. In this recipe, we use its shoots (young branches), picked in the spring, to make this delicious drink.

Your guests are sure to appreciate its subtle sour cherry flavor, and will be all the more surprised to learn that no fruit goes into its composition (except for the plum in the brandy, of course 🙂 ).

Try having them guess the ingredients of this blackthorn wine—it’s a real game every time!

    Moi je fait comme ça déjà depuis plus de vingt ans. plus il est vieux, plus il est madérisé, plus il devient savoureux.
    Honnêtement, c’est plus savoureux que le porto

    « Aucun fruit n’entre dans sa composition » ? Et l’eau de vie de prune, elle est faite à partir de quoi ? 😂
