Kuemmerling

Kuemmerling is a type of herb liqueur that is classified as a kräuterlikör. It was created by Hugo Kümmerling in 1938, and since 1963 the drink has been produced in Bodenheim. Although the exact recipe is kept secret, Kuemmerling is created with a large selection of herbs and spices such as cloves, cinnamon bark, licorice, wormwood, mint, calamus, and angelica root.

It is an amber-colored drink that is characterized by herbaceous and bittersweet flavors. The drink is bottled at 35% ABV, and it is usually sold in the 20ml miniature spirit bottles. Kuemmerling is best served well chilled, preferably in a shot glass, and it is mostly enjoyed as a digestif, although it can also be incorporated into cocktails and long drinks.
