Now nearly 200 years old, Mampe is a historic Berlin liqueur, invented by pharmacist Carl Mampe as a medicine to combat cholera. It gained fame for its bitter liqueurs and herbal spirits, particularly “Mampe Halb und Halb,” a blend of bitter orange and herbs. The brand played a significant role in Berlin’s drinking culture, especially in the late 19th and 20th centuries, with its own restaurants and a strong presence in the city’s social scene. Mampe has seen a revival, continuing to produce traditional recipes and new creations. It has developed into one of Berlin’s most exciting institutions!

TASTING NOTES:
Made with tradition from herbs and bitter oranges. Half tart, half sweet, very special. As this fine bitter liqueur or amaro is a classic digestif, it is drunk on ice garnished with an orange zest. But a good spirit can also be mixed well. In this case, to make a Berlin Mule. MAMPE recipe? Four good ice cubes and 15 cl of ginger ale or ginger beer in the glass, then slowly and carefully pour on 5 cl of MAMPE Half & Half, squeeze on a lime wedge and add it. There you go.
