Kümmel (liqueur)

Bottle of Kümmel

Kümmel, also called kummel or kimmel, is a sweet, colorless liqueur flavored with caraway seed, cumin, and fennel.

According to the Dutch, kümmel liqueur was first distilled in Holland during the late 16th century by Lucas Bols.^[1] It was then taken to Germany and Russia; the former is now the principal producer and consumer of kümmel.

In the UK, it is a popular drink at many of the more traditional golf clubs, or as a "comedy" shot.^[2]
