Mampe Half and Half

Mampe Halb und Halb is a Berlin original: a herbal bitter liqueur that has stood for its characteristic balance of sweetness and bitterness for generations.

The Berlin distillery Mampe looks back on a history that stretches back to the 19th century. Halb und Halb (Half and Half) is the company's most famous product – a recipe of herbs and bitter oranges that embodies the typical tension of a classic German bitter liqueur: neither too sweet nor too dry.

In the glass, it displays an amber color. The nose reveals aromas of orange peel and bitter herbs, followed by a subtle sweetness. On the palate, the bitter orange remains prominent, accompanied by spicy herbal notes; the finish is dry and long.

Traditionally, it is served half-and-half chilled, neat or on ice, with a slice of orange. It also works well as a digestif after a hearty meal or as a base for simple long drinks with tonic water.
