About Underberg
Underberg is a German herbal bitter from Rheinberg, on the Lower Rhine. Hubert Underberg started it there in 1846. The company's motto, Semper idem, means 'always the same' and refers to the recipe, which is kept secret within the family.
Underberg uses herbs from 43 countries. After production, the bitter matures in Slovenian oak casks, where it gets its amber colour. The alcohol content is 44 percent.
Best known is the 20 millilitre single-serve bottle. It was introduced in 1949 and designed by Emil Underberg, a grandson of the founder. The small bottle is traditionally drunk after a meal.
Underberg was also made outside Germany: in Brazil, its own production started in 1932, which later gave rise to the regional variant Brasilberg.

Virtually every bitter begins as a medicine. Herbs, roots and peels were steeped in alcohol because it held on to the active substances best and because it kept for a long time. Only later did it become a drink.
That explains the taste: bitter compounds from gentian, cinchona bark or orange peel, which get the digestion going. That is why a bitter has traditionally been served after the meal, and an aperitif bitter before it.
Some bitters are used drop by drop in a cocktail, others are simply poured into a small glass. Both should be well chilled.
Almost every bitter started out as a medicine. The taste still gives that away.
