About this product
Herbal. Warming. Unmistakably Central European.
A national treasure of the Czech Republic, Becherovka Original is a timeless herbal liqueur made from a closely guarded blend of over 20 botanicals, including cinnamon, anise, and clove. First crafted in 1807 in the spa town of Karlovy Vary, it’s remained true to its original formula ever since — a secret known by only two people at any given time.
At 38% ABV, Becherovka is both aromatic and warming, with a profile that bridges the gap between bitters and liqueurs. Whether served chilled as a digestif or mixed into cocktails, it’s a staple of European spirits culture — versatile, distinctive, and unmistakably original.
Why we love it:
It’s bold, nostalgic, and uniquely complex — a true original. Becherovka is perfect for those who enjoy bitters, herbal spirits, or classic European liqueurs with a strong sense of identity and ritual.

About the producer
Becherovka has been produced in Karlovy Vary for over 200 years, originally developed by Josef Becher as a medicinal tonic. Today, it remains a family-guarded recipe, now owned by the Jan Becher company under the Pernod Ricard umbrella — but still produced with the same historic blend of Czech water, herbs, and tradition.
