With gentle sweetness, citrus peel, spice and soft alpine bitterness, it’s ideal as a chilled digestif, in long drinks or for adding herbal depth to cocktails.
Approachable, aromatic and classically Central European, Jakob Steiner delivers a comforting, sociable Kräuterlikör style perfect for relaxed drinking and winter warmth.
Jakob Steiner is a classic Alpine Kräuterlikör — warming, herbal, gently sweet and rooted in Central European liqueur tradition. Built on mountain botanicals, seeds, flowers and roots, it delivers balanced bitterness, warming spice and a smooth honeyed finish, making it a popular digestif and a versatile cocktail ingredient.
Less bitter than Fernet, less sweet than Jägermeister and more herbal than standard liqueurs, Jakob Steiner strikes a clean middle ground: approachable, aromatic and easy to enjoy neat, chilled or in long drinks.
Jakob Steiner draws inspiration from Central European herbal liqueur making, where monks and alpine distillers created botanical spirits for digestion, warmth and well-being. Modern versions continue this tradition by macerating herbs and botanicals, then resting the spirit to round out its flavour.
Recognised throughout Europe and found widely in bars and pubs, Jakob Steiner represents a classic herbal style — straightforward, authentic and crafted for sociable drinking.
