Silver Bullet
I picked up a bottle of Wolfschmidt Kummel because I didn't know what it was.
Flavoured with caraway and (ever so slightly) of aniseed it turns out its made from a Danish recipe - although kummel itself was first created in Latvia in 1847.
Its quite intriguing because Its ever so sweet and syrupy but at 39% is more of a spirit than a liqueur. A digestif.
The label recommends making a Silver Bullet, mixing it 50/50 with vodka. I'm here to tell you that its quite acceptable. less sickly sweet than kummel alone, and with a bit more bite.
You get beautiful metallic swirly patterns when you mix the two which quickly merge. The photos don't really do it justice. I thought a Silver Bullet was a kind of martini, using vodka as a base and whisky instead of vermouth. So maybe this should be called a Latvian Silver Bullet or something.
