Kräuterlikör

The term kräuterlikör denotes different types of European herb liqueurs, predominantly German, which are also known as halbbitter (half bitters). They appeared soon after the introduction of distillation and were primarily invented as medical remedies.

The most notable kräuterlikör brands include Jägermeister, Underberg, Becherovka, Unicum, Riga Black Balsam, Killepitsch, Kuemmerling, and Aromatique. Although all varieties can be incorporated into cocktails and long drinks, they are traditionally enjoyed well-chilled and neat, preferably as a digestif.
