Herber Hibiskus 0.5L

Herber Hibiskus from Dr. Jaglas is a non-alcoholic aperitif for the start, which focuses on bitterness and structure instead of sweetness. The base is hibiscus flowers, whose berry-tart nature is framed by rosemary, bitter orange, chiretta herb, gentian, and vanilla.

Dr. Jaglas from Germany sees its aperitifs as a building block of a new aperitif culture in which enjoyment does not depend on alcohol. Herber Hibiskus stands for this on the bitter side of the spectrum. In the glass, you encounter berries and tart flowers, plus a resinous-spicy trace of rosemary and the zesty sharpness of bitter orange. Gentian and chiretta herb provide the bitter substances; the vanilla takes the harshness off the edges. The finish is subtly smoky and fades out in a fine whisky note.

Serve it well chilled as a base for long drinks: with tonic and a slice of lime, or as a "spritz" with an apricot note for those who like it fruitier. Salty accompaniments like olives, nuts, or a strong hard cheese go well with this. The 0.5-liter bottle is enough for an evening with several glasses.
