Perfect as an aperatif, cocktail or dessert.
Ratafia goes great with chocolate, but can also be enjoyed as an aperitif.
In France, Ratafia is served before a meal, either by itself or with olives and nuts. For the cocktail hour, a refreshing drink can be made with Ratafia over ice, a splash of soda and a twist. Ratafia can end a meal all by itself for dessert. Try it over ice cream, with fruit and nut desserts, or a great combination with anything chocolate. Winemaker Nan Bailly began making Ratafia many years ago from a recipe she learned to make while working in the Rhone Valley in France.
