Schrobbeler

Schrobbeler is a Dutch herbal liqueur with deep roots in Brabant, a province in the southern Netherlands. It was first crafted in the early 20th century by Antoon Schrobbelèr, a distiller from Tilburg. The recipe, which remains a closely guarded secret, consists of a blend of over 40 herbs and spices.

This liqueur is characterized by its rich, bittersweet flavor profile, featuring prominent notes of caramelized sugar, herbs, and spices. Its smooth texture and warming finish make it a popular choice among both locals and visitors alike. Schrobbeler is often enjoyed as a digestif, served neat or over ice, particularly after a hearty meal. It’s also a key ingredient in several cocktails, adding depth and complexity to mixed drinks.

Beyond its taste, Schrobbeler holds cultural significance in the Brabant region, where it’s considered a symbol of conviviality and hospitality. It’s often enjoyed during social gatherings, celebrations, and festivals, reflecting the warm and welcoming spirit of its origin.
