Underberg Digestive Elixir & Cocktail Bitters, 20ml mini-bottle
Underberg is a German herbal digestive traditionally consumed after meals to aid in digestion, though it also has become popular as a morning-after 'Hair of the dog' remedy. We can't attest to these medicinal characteristics, however. However it's being emnjoyed, it is growing in popularity here in the states, both in its traditional role and among mixologists who incorporate it into cocktails.
TBH, part of its allure is because the exact recipe for Underberg is a family secret more closely guarded than the formula for Coca-Cola or KFC's '11 Herbs & Spices"! Plus, the small, 20ml (single-serving) bottles are part of the allure, a design that dates back to 1949. Underberg is is generally enjoyed neat, usually at room temperature, though it is sometimes served over ice.
Tasting Notes - a complex combination of bitter herbs and spices, offset by a slight sweetness, with notes of clove, anise, and licorice.
