A Honey of a Liqueur


Looking for a different liqueur? Bärenjäger, distilled by Schwarze and Schlichte in Westphalia, Germany, has the delicious taste you'd expect from fine honey. It was developed in Eastern Prussia in the late 15th century and is made exclusively from pure, natural ingredients.
This liqueur owes its delicious taste exclusively to a generous measure of Yucatan honey, with no added flavors or aromas. And because it is not fixed on a specific spirit flavor, Bärenjäger is a very versatile liqueur, which provides an excellent base for interesting cocktails and long drinks. It is delectable on its own or drizzled on desserts or in coffee, tea or hot or cold milk. Something a little lighter tasting for the warmer season.

As always, drink and serve responsibly.
