Glacier Ice

About the Glacier Ice Liqueur fire ritual

Fill the glass to the brim and set ablaze with a match.

You determine the strength – the original is 50% vol.

• After 3 minutes on fire 45% vol.
• After 5 minutes on fire 42% vol.
• After 10 minutes on fire 33% vol.

Blow out the flame. It is best to stir the liqueur with a small spoon and let the glasses cool down briefly. Your friends will be delighted!

Safety notice
Dealing with fire requires caution. Use fireproof glasses, never start the fire on combustible surfaces and blow out the fire carefully - alternatively the flame can be smothered with a larger glass. As always, our principle also applies here: To the enjoyment, but never in excess.

The Tyrolean glaciers

Five of the largest Tyrolean glaciers are situated within only 150 km and cover about 3% of the land surface of Tyrol: Feichten / Kaunertal (the youngest Tyrolean glacier), St. Leonhard / Pitztal (the highest Tyrolean glacier), Sölden / Ötztal (Rettenbachferner is since 1993 the regular venue of the Alpine Skiing World Cup), Neustift / Stubaital (Austria’s largest glacier-ski region) and Hintertux / Zillertal (Austria’s single all-year-round ski region). Since the building of the first Gletscherbahn in the seventies,the “High 5" are the venues, of an unparalleled mixture of eternal ice and spontaneous “joy in the snow” for skiers and snow boarders, sun worshipers and Alpine peak sightseers, hikers and ice climbers throughout the year.

The best known German glacier, by the way, is the northern Schneeferner at an altitude of about 2,800 m situated on the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain (2,962 m) on the border between Tirol and Bavaria. Also Blaueis, Höllentalferner and Watzmanngletscher form part of Germany’s “eternal ice fields”.
