Production of the Liquorice Peppermint Liqueur by Berliner Luft

The base for this peppermint liqueur is fine alcohol of agricultural origin, processed in Germany. It is combined with a precisely balanced extract of liquorice, anise and peppermint. The producer in Berlin places great value on a clear, typical aroma profile that continues the familiar Berliner Luft line while reinterpreting it at the same time.

The process begins with the selection of ingredients. For the intense liquorice character, high-quality liquorice extracts and licorice root components are used. Anise lends spicy depth and a subtle, sweet note. The peppermint comes from aromatic mint oils and essences that provide the distinctive freshness. Complementary herbs such as lemon balm are added to refine the overall picture.

The first step is the creation of an aromatic macerate. Alcohol combines with the herbal and liquorice components. This mixture is left to rest so that the aromas can be extracted intensively. In this way, a dense, spicy base is created, which later forms the soul of the liqueur.

Next comes the fine-tuning. The macerate is blended with distilled extracts and natural aromas of peppermint and anise. Filtration gives the producer clarity and purity of taste. During this phase, the typical interplay of dark liquorice and bright freshness emerges.

Sweetness is introduced through precisely dosed sugar or sugar syrup. Sensitivity is key here. The goal is a liqueur that tastes soft and rounded without seeming sticky. The texture remains fluid and velvety. At the end of production there is a final filtration, which yields a clear, dense liqueur with a distinctive color and an intense fragrance.

The finished Liquorice Peppermint Liqueur is bottled in 0.7-liter bottles. Every bottle leaves the traditional Berlin house with the ambition to enrich parties, bar carts and home bars with a characterful, gluten-free peppermint liqueur.
