Nothing tastes quite like it.
Jägermeister
The nearest match in strength and sugar, used in the same amount. To mimic the flavor, shake the mix with a piece of cinnamon stick and a clove, then strain. In a built serve, lift them out after a few minutes.
A last resort. Most Italian bitter liqueurs are weaker, sweeter and bring entirely different herbs. Fernet-Branca is the dry, strong exception.
Description
Made in Karlovy Vary since 1807, when Josef Becher began bottling a herbal tincture for the spa town’s visitors. The recipe is still held by two people at a time. Locally it is drunk cold and neat, or long with tonic under the name Beton.
