The mandrake liqueur Mandrágora comes from Navarra in Spain and has a special fairy tale to tell. It is said that this blend of hallucinating herbs was drunk by witches because it helped them to fly. The elixir is distilled out of 8 different herbs, including the forbidden mandrake root. Its taste is sweet and delicious, a bit like root beer. You can easily sip Mandrágora liquor neat or on ice.

Mandrake plant (Mandragora officinarum) is a plant known in history and folklore for its human-like root appearance. It has acquired magical and mystical significance in various cultures, but has rarely been used in medicine in the past due to its poisonous constituents. In literature and pop culture, the mandrake plant is a recurring motif, such as in the Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling. The mandrake plant also made guest appearances in the Harry Potter movies because of its mystical properties. In the following video, you can see an excerpt from the film that shows the mandrake plant.

- "witches brew" Review by Lucien
Tried the Mandragora drink! Really an enjoyable different drink. Sweeter than expected and reminded me of a brandy like drink with earthy ingredients and a nice pleasant smooth aftertaste. Fun story behind mandragora legend. (only wish they has kept one of the older style bottles that really added to the look but noce its in a larger size now!) (Posted on 10/1/2023)Rating
