Ratafía is a Spanish liqueur which is made by the mashing of different fruits (such as lemon peel, morello cherries, and green nuts), herbs (like mint) and spices (cinnamon, cloves, bramble branch) in an alcohol of some sort, generally an aguardiente.
However, according to the method and customs of the area in which the drink is made, the ingredients can vary considerably.
Ratafía is very sweet tasting and normally has a deep caramel colour. This Spanish liqueur is full of different tastes, hidden within the depths of the liquid, and it allows the drinker to experience a little piece of the Catalan forests. The commercial versions which you can buy in specialist shops and some supermarkets if you ever visit Spain, are sold in glass bottles and can be kept for a long time.
