Product Information

After a 1977 television campaign popularized the brand’s jingle “Komm doch mit auf den Underberg” (which translates to “Come with me to the Underberg”) across Europe, the song has since been performed by numerous musicians — all of whom add their own individual twist on the song.

The brand also has to be very careful how they promote that sort of use, as they cannot encourage people to use their non-potable alcohol as a beverage. When creative bartenders do, however, they are very supportive and excited to see the product used in new ways. We are seeing a lot more bartenders following suit.” Originally considered a medicinal beverage, Germans and Europeans would sip on Underberg after a meal to help with digestion. You can also use other alternatives such as tonic water or soda for added sweetness. Don’t forget to give it a good stir after adding each ingredient. Herbs can interact with some medications.

Some people have gastrointestinal issues due to the fact that they don’t have enough stomach acid.

I was glad to have been warned about the strong anise taste (among other wintry bitter flavors) — I’ve never been a licorice fan — but, like many, we had pretty strong reactions to it: we were about equally split on liking it and hating it.

So what’s their story? And why do so many who know of them love them so much?
