Becherovka is a traditional Czech herbal liqueur, originally crafted in the spa town of Karlovy Vary in 1807 by pharmacist Josef Vitus Becher. It is renowned for its distinctive, spicy, and bitter flavor, which comes from a secret recipe comprising over 20 herbs and spices, including cinnamon, anise, and cloves. The exact mix of ingredients is known only to two people at any given time, ensuring the uniqueness of its taste.
