What is krauter likor?

Kräuterlikör, also known as herbal liqueur, is a type of alcoholic beverage that is made by infusing a mixture of herbs and spices into a spirit base. The herbs used in the infusion process can vary depending on the brand, but common ingredients include anise, cinnamon, clove, ginger, nutmeg, and cardamom. Kräuterlikör has a distinct herbal flavor that is often sweetened with honey or sugar.

Traditionally, kräuterlikör was used for medicinal purposes as it was believed to have healing properties, particularly for digestion and stomach issues. Today, it is enjoyed as a digestif after a meal or as a cocktail ingredient. Kräuterlikör is particularly popular in Germany, where it is often served neat or mixed with tonic water.

Some popular brands of kräuterlikör include Jägermeister, Underberg, Kuemmerling, and Killepitsch. The alcohol content of kräuterlikör typically ranges from 20-45% ABV.
