Happy Holidays to Us!

If you do a search on "weihnachtslikör" on Google, you get 1410 hits in English, and 369,000 in German. The English links are mostly useless, so I can only conclude that they're hiding it from us. Until now.

Hütt'n is a little restaurant on the way up from the Hauptmarkt towards the castle. It's basic fränkisch food, but they're currently blowing through the last of their Weihnachtslikör. It's made from scratch from apple, cinnamon, vanilla, hazelnut and lebkuchen liqueur, all aged in barrels for 9 months. It's like drinking a baked apple finished in an oven where you're baking gingerbread. It was well worth braving the -11C weather to walk back and get a bottle to bring home. Just wow.
