O btw did you know that there is a big fuss over the rights to BECHEROVKA
as someone in Slovakia does have the real recipe that the family member got
long time ago and adherently it has more spices and it is better and they
are going to be producing it as the real Becherovka in SLovakia???
I red about it in the summer while I was over there.
