Kim Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi everyone,I'm doing a webpage on French liqueurs and have come across mistelle which is a French liqueur made from eau-de-vie, sugar and non-fermented grape juice. Supposedly, these are hard to come by. I've never drank one myself and I'm wondering if any of you might have and can tell me about your experience.Thanks!Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybananasbrother Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Sounds very similar to the brew made by my French neighbours. It can be very strong and sweet according to taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 I could only find references to mistelle so I went with that spelling. Guess I'm just going to have to wait until someone offers me a glass or make my own if I want to taste this. Thanks for your responses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 You are right re spelling [:)] My apologies for misleading you.I was brought up on much stronger stuff: canard (sugar cube dipped in alcohol) with either farm-distilled calvados or marc du Bugey...
