Also from Austria, and slightly out of category, but what the hell, is Nux Alpina, a delicious green walnut liqueur made by the Purkhart family (famous in beverage circles).
You could get both and make your sweetie wear lederhosen and the funny cap with the brush in it while you have a party!

This is the first I've ever heard of this drink and, lo, I ate at a Greek restaurant tonight that had three flavors of it on the menu: mastiha, rakomelo, and herb spirit. We tried the rakomelo: it was sweet and aromatic of cinnamon and honey. (I've read that there is clove in there, too, but I didn't taste it.) It reminded me somewhat of the wacky brews you can find in the Jura... Elixir de Grand-mere Philomene, Galant des Abbesses, even distantly some red Macvin.

Whoa. How's that for timing!
