Creating a schnapps garden in outdoor plant boxes is a delightful way to grow aromatic herbs and fruits perfect for homemade spirits. Here are the best plants to consider:

1. Mint (Mentha) – A classic choice for refreshing schnapps, mint thrives in containers and adds a cool, invigorating flavor.

2. Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) – Its citrusy notes make it ideal for light, zesty schnapps.

3. Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) – Delicate floral flavors create soothing, aromatic schnapps.

4. Raspberries (Rubus idaeus) – Sweet and tart, raspberries infuse schnapps with fruity depth.

5. Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) – Earthy and herbal, thyme adds complexity to distilled spirits.

For optimal growth, ensure your plant boxes have good drainage and receive ample sunlight. Harvest leaves and fruits at their peak for the most vibrant flavors. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned distiller, these plants will elevate your schnapps-making adventure!
