The drink is traditionally enjoyed as a digestif, typically served in the signature tall glasses. It is sold in copyrighted 20ml bottles that are wrapped in straw paper.

Asbach Uralt is a German brandy that was first distilled in 1892 by Hugo Asbach, a Cologne native. With the knowledge he gained at various French distilleries, Asbach distilled his first batch of brandy and opened a company in Rüdesheim am Rhein.

He initially labeled his brandy as Rüdesheim Cognac, but after the Treaty of Versailles, which stipulated that only French products can be named Cognac, Asbach coined the term Weinbrand (wine brandy) and gave his product its current name. Aged in Limousin and German oak, classic Asbach Uralt is an amber-colored brandy that is smooth and warming, with subtle sweetness and peppery nuances that are accompanied by aromas and flavors reminiscent of honey, vanilla, caramel, plums, nuts, chocolate, and coffee. 

Liebfraumilch is a semi-sweet German wine style produced in Rheinhessen, Pfalz, Rheingau, and Nahe wine regions. Although official regulations stipulate that at least 70% of the blend has to include Müller-Thurgau, Bacchus, Silvaner, or Riesling, most producers opt for Müller-Thurgau.

Liebfraumilch is mostly made for export. It enjoys a poor reputation, and it is often dubbed as a sweet and cheap supermarket wine. It was especially popular during the 1970s when it was usually regarded as a bulk wine intended for mass consumption. 

Rüdesheimer Kaffee is a German coffee that is fortified with Asbach Uralt brandy. The drink is prepared by mixing brandy and sugar, and the combination is then flambéed until alcohol partially evaporates. The mixture is then topped with coffee, and the drink is finished off with a layer of vanilla-flavored whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

The drink originates from Rüdesheim am Rhein—hence the name—and it was invented in 1957 by Hans Karl Adam, a German television chef. Rüdesheimer Kaffee should not be stirred, and it is traditionally served in a tall glass that was specially designed for this alcohol-laced coffee.

Dortmunder Export is a German beer style that was first brewed in the late 19th century. Named after the city where it originated, this beer style was modeled on pilsners, and it was primarily invented as a thirst-quenching brew for local industrial workers.

Dortmunder is a pale and clear lager that has a bitter base and a good balance of malty sweetness and hop flavors. These beers come off smooth and malty, but at the same time, they remain crisp, easy-drinking, and refreshing. They typically range from 5 to 6% ABV. 

This beer is a symbol of Dortmund and has always been made from carefully selected ingredients. The beginning of brewing in Dortmund dates back to 1293, and throughout history, these beers were exported around the world. Dortmund beer is now produced by Dortmunder Actien Brauerei (DAB), which was founded in 1868, and it is exclusively made with Dortmund water and under German Purity Law.

Main beer styles include Export, Pilsener, light beer, and dark top-fermented Altbier.

Kölsch (the Low German name for Cologne) is a specialty beer brewed only in Cologne. A document known as the Kölsch Convention was signed in 1986 by the directors of two dozen Kölsch breweries, ensuring that Kölsch beer can only be brewed in Cologne and its surrounding area, and nowhere else in the world.

The guidelines stipulated that Kölsch is not only a type of beer, but also a designation of origin. They specify that true Kölsch beer is a pale yellow, clear, highly fermented, fully-rounded ale, brewed according to the German Beer Purity Law of 1516.
