Herbal Liqueur at Taperia La Mina — Traditional Spanish Herbal Digestif
Our Herbal Liqueur at Taperia La Mina is a traditional Spanish herbal liqueur (licor de hierbas) — an aromatic, warming digestif made by infusing neutral spirit with a blend of wild Mediterranean herbs, roots, and spices. This ancient tradition of herbal distillation is practiced across Spain, particularly in Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, and the mountain regions. At our restaurant in Benidorm, our Herbal Liqueur is the recommended digestif for guests who appreciate the ritual of a post-meal herbal drink that settles the stomach and lifts the spirits.
The Hierbas Tradition
Spanish herbal liqueurs are typically made by macerating a blend of wild herbs — thyme, rosemary, fennel, mint, chamomile, and others — in aguardiente (grape spirit) for weeks or months. The result is a fragrant, bitter-sweet liqueur that combines the aromatic qualities of Mediterranean herbs with the warming properties of alcohol. At Taperia La Mina, our Herbal Liqueur is crafted using traditional methods and represents Spain’s long tradition of herbal medicine converted into an enjoyable after-dinner ritual.
How to Enjoy Herbal Liqueur
Serve herbal liqueur ice-cold in a small glass as a digestif after a meal.
