by strick What is UNICUM? (Mi van az Unicum?) Also called the \"Hungarian National Accelerator\", Unicum is a bitter herbal liquer drunk mostly in Hungary and by Hungarians, although expats and tourists can (and often do) aquire a taste for it. It's a secret recipe of (i've heard) 23 or maybe (below it says) 40 herbal ingredients. <\/p>\n
The \"Time Out\" guide to Budapest describes it as something like (i'm typing this from memory) smells like a hospital corridor, and as bitter as cold winter's night. <\/p>\n
It doesn't go over well in the states, where Jaegermeister is about as adventuresome as people get. (To me, Jaegermeister tastes like green kool-aid with extra sugar.) <\/p>\n
Drink it in shots, with a glass of soda water nearby, in case you need it. <\/p>\n
One Hungarian T-Shirt calls it \"The best stomach-strengthening liquor\"! It's also considered a tonic, and it is theraputic for a great many ailments. Personally, I strengthen my stomach with it:) <\/p>\n
Here's what some other web pages say about it: <\/p>\n
And what is Unicum? Its exact composition cannot be revealed because the recipe is a secret... What may be disclosed, however, is that Unicum is a skilful blend of more than 40 carefully selected herbs and spices. The lengthy ageing process which takes place over 6 months in oak casks gives Unicum its inimitable bitter-sweet flavour and exotic bouquet. Unicum makes a perfect aperitif or dessert drink due to its beneficial and soothing effect on the stomach. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
