Bénédictine
Bénédictine () is a herbal liqueur produced in France. It was developed by wine merchant Alexandre Le Grand in the 19th century, and is reputedly flavored with twenty-seven flowers, berries, herbs, roots, and spices. A drier version, B&B, blending Bénédictine with brandy, was developed in the 1930s. History In 1863 Alexandre Le Grand developed a recipe for an herbal liqueur, helped by a local chemist, from old medicinal recipes that he had acquired from a religious foundation where a maternal grandparent had held office as a fiscal prosecutor. To market it, he embellished a story of it having been developed by monks at the Benedictine Abbey of Fécamp in Normandy, and produced by them until the abbey's devastation during the French Revolution. He began production under the trade name "Bénédictine", using a bottle with a distinguishing shape and label. To reinforce his myth, he placed the abbreviation "D.O.M." on the label, for "" ("To God, most good, most great"), use ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kümmel (liqueur)
''Kümmel'', ''kummel'' or ''kimmel'', is a sweet, colourless liqueur flavoured with caraway ( de , Kümmel) seeds, cumin and fennel. Some historians state that Lucas Bols (1652-1719) first distilled ''kümmel'' liqueur in the Netherlands in 1675. It was then taken to Germany and to Russia; the former is now the principal producer and consumer of kümmel. History Kümmel's popularity grew in the early 19th century, being produced by 1823 in Allasch, the Governorate of Livonia in Russian Empire (modern , Latvia). Kümmel was produced by the Baltic German aristocrat, Baron von Blanckenhagen, who owned land around Allasch which included a pure and reliable water source. In the mid-19th Century, ''kümmel'' was the rival of gin. Being made with caraway rather than juniper, it had one main advantage: caraway has a calmative effect, reducing flatulence and the bloated feeling experienced after a heavy meal. By 1850, this "medicinal" benefit helped Ludwig Mentzendorff create a he ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Crème De Menthe
Crème de menthe (, French for "mint cream") is a sweet, mint-flavored alcoholic beverage. It is available commercially in a colorless version (called "white") and a green version (colored by the mint leaves or by added coloring if made from extract instead of leaves). Both varieties have similar flavor and are interchangeable in recipes, except where color is important. It is usually made with Corsican mint or peppermint, which is steeped in grain alcohol for several weeks before it is filtered and sweetened to create the final product. It typically has 25% alcohol by volume. Crème de menthe is an ingredient in several cocktails, such as the Grasshopper and the Stinger. It is also served as a digestif and used in cooking as a flavoring (see Mint chocolate). It is also a primary component of the popular South African shooter known as the Springbokkie. Music Sergei Rachmaninoff, although otherwise a teetotaler, found that a glass of crème de menthe steadied his nerves when pl ...
