I think it’s cool because it still got brought into the U.S. during Prohibition,” said Adam Hebert, managing partner at The Radler, a German beer hall-style restaurant in Chicago — another one of those benefits of being classified as a food product. Underberg is a gift of nature that is "unwrapped" with pleasure after a good meal. The careful balance between the valuable herbal ingredients and premium quality alcohol gives Underberg its claimed digestive properties.The basic idea behind bitters is that they stimulate your taste buds to create more saliva (spit), which in turn jumpstarts your digestive system. You might not realize it, but saliva is one of the keys to digestion, contributing to the breakdown of starches and fats. As an added bonus, drinking Underberg with sparkling wine can help aid digestion while boosting energy levels naturally.

Call it a right of passage to drink an Underberg. Much like if you live in Chicago, shooting Malort is this baptism by fire to the local drinking culture.Well, we don’t have a definitive answer for you because the recipe and production method remain a secret, known only by three people in the Underberg family and two clerics to ensure the preservation of Underberg for the future.

There aren’t yet enough conclusive studies that delve deep into the benefits of bitters. But the biggest reason to try them is that they may give your digestive system a boost. Helps you make more saliva. Your saliva has enzymes that help you start to break down your food. Bitters can help you make more saliva, which could help with digestion. In general the goal of using bitters is to ease digestive issues. Therefore, it’s recommended to use Underberg right before or after the meal. Especially when you are about to savor a deliciously big feast like Thanksgiving dinner, or before indulging in the first barbeque party of the season, Underberg will save the day (or night!). A 20ml bottle of Underberg will rapidly help ease the heavy and uncomfortable feeling of a too full stomach.Brad Thomas Parsons, author of “Bitters” and “Amaro,” out in October, is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a sort of Underberg evangelist. Underberg bitters are made from natural herbs soaked in alcohol and mixed with concentrated root extract. Studies have shown that it can help reduce stress levels, improve digestion, and boost immune system function. Ted Kilgore, head mixologist and co-owner of Planter’s House in St. Louis, first encountered Underberg in San Francisco, where it all began. He just so happened to see it at a Walgreens there, so he and his wife bought a bottle out of curiosity and had a little bitter breakfast right outside. It’s classified as a food product rather than a liqueur, even though it’s 44% alcohol, and so it can be sold in grocery stores and other places — like pharmacies — instead of being solely relegated to liquor stores, bars and restaurants. This traditional family-owned business was founded by Hubert Underberg, who traveled all around Europe to source the finest herbs and spices for his product. Meaning people could continue to legally drink the digestif even when the U.S. government forbid every other form of alcohol for public consumption in the United States for fourteen years.

Perhaps, Underberg followed a similar mantra. There is an air of mystery that surrounds this German bitter, giving it this special mystique. I offer you both Hamlet and Underberg’s marketing tag to further explain these mysteries of bitters, digestion and Underberg.You’ll also notice that bottles come wrapped in brown paper. This material protects the digestif from environmental contamination like sunlight and heat. The feeling of dizziness or light-headedness is due to the alcohol content in the drink which can also lead to impaired motor skills and confusion. Additionally, if consumed in excess, Underberg can cause nausea, headaches, and upset stomachs. And the more Underberg drips into your mouth the more your taste buds drop down the rabbit hole. “With each drop you experience something different,” says Morton. “That’s part of the reason why Underberg is so unique.”
