The pranksters of Karlovy Vary joke that their famous herbal spirit, Becherovka, is the town's 13th spring. Ho ho ho.

 

Becherovka

T
his strange yellow drink which most places sell for about 30Kc a shot, has supposedly medicinal qualties and you can visit a special museum devoted to its history and manufacture.

 

The classic herbal liquor, appetite encouraging, digestion soothing, has many medicinal springs. The best known and most effective is the thirteenth source, originating in 1805.

 

Sample several excellent cocktails and don't be afraid to experiment! Like...

 

Big Fighter: Becherovka, lemon and orange juice, freshly squeezed ideally, with raspberry or strawberry syrup.

 


Something a little stronger?

How about a Traz Tini?: ice, Becherovka, dry Martini, a dash of Rapid Bitter and a slice of lemon or an olive.
