Escorial Green Herbal Liqueur is a potent German spirit first produced in 1835 by the Riemerschmid company, known for its vivid green color and distinctive blend of herbs and spices. Bottled at 56% alcohol by volume, it belongs to the Central European tradition of high-proof herbal liqueurs, sharing kinship with monastic-style drinks like Chartreuse. Its flavor profile is complex and aromatic, with notes of mint, anise, nutmeg, and alpine herbs, balanced by a subtle sweetness and lingering herbal warmth. Traditionally served very cold or over ice, Escorial is also used in cocktails or for flambéing, prized for its bold intensity and old-world charm that bridges the worlds of apothecary and indulgence.
