Karlsbader Becherovka

This is a legendary Czech herbal liqueur known for its distinctive blend of carefully selected herbs and spices. Since 1807, Becherovka has been known for its complex bittersweet flavor, making it a beloved drink in the Czech Republic and beyond.

This iconic liqueur is crafted from a secret recipe that remains unchanged, blending over 20 different herbs and spices. These ingredients are steeped in high-quality alcohol and water from the region of Karlovy Vary (formerly Karlsbad), where the liqueur originated. The result is a complex and aromatic spirit that is perfect for those who enjoy herbal and spiced liqueurs.

The palate offers a rich blend of earthy, bitter herbs, complemented by warming spice notes and a subtle sweetness. The finish is long and slightly bitter, with a lingering herbal aftertaste that invites another sip.

Traditionally enjoyed as a digestif, Becherovka can be sipped neat or served chilled over ice. It’s also a fantastic cocktail ingredient, adding depth and complexity to drinks like the “Beton” (Becherovka and tonic water) or other creative cocktails that highlight its unique flavor. Whether enjoyed as an after-dinner treat or a key cocktail ingredient, Karlsbader Becherovka delivers a distinctive taste of Czech tradition and craftsmanship.
