And how does one imbibe that?
Icy cold straight in a shot glass or room temp like powerful sherry?
It’s usually either as a very cold shot (preferably around the lodge fireplace after some skiing in the Alps) or mixed into hot drinks, like coffee or cocoa.
I once ordered peppermint schnapps at a bar that apparently wasn’t familiar with the protocol, because she looked at me a little strangely, then brought me back a highball glass filled with it!

I have a photo somewhere of myself and my youngest brother sitting on the floor of my bedroom having snaffled some crème de menthe and then after drinking it deciding to sellotape our faces up to look like pigs.
And they say children shouldn’t have alcohol

I have no idea why I am drawn to these two labels, but I do like that on the jam jar they have their name in the glass, I do love this jam over any other!

Here’s one I really like:
It looks like a bottle of poison from a 1920’s murder mystery.

Indeed! Lovely retro design. Even the letters/font seem retro to me.
Some ( very popular local) brands had their retro month locally, a year ago or so. It was fun to recognize the old designs.
This has got to be one of my favourites:
It's one of those really strange English things that no-one understands ( and probably, no-one buys) any more. I was introduced to this in my first year at university (1971) by a senior student who had been charged with "looking after new undergraduates". I distinctly remember his toasting fresh bread over the (open) fire he had in his rooms, then smothering the toast with this stuff.
I'm sure I'd still enjoy it, but I've never tasted it since!

Well, I buy it. I have some in the fridge. Love it! It keeps forever even when opened. Its anchovy based.
My son loves it.
Sadly it's off limits for me now due to containing gluten.
Shame because it would make an excellent ambient temp travelling companion.
As it's still sold in Sainsburys, Waitrose and Ocado (who are notoriously cut throat at dropping lines that don't shift well) I'd guess it must still sell fairly well.
I think it's heading up towards being 200 years old!
