domestic herbal liqueurs


Explanation:
Mislim da se ovdje kod nas isključivo radi o biljnim gorkim pićima (namjerno ne kažem likerima, jer likeri kod nas sugeriraju nešto slatko, koliko znam...).
Popis pod podnaslovom Other herbal liqueurs
na linku http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liqueurs#Herbal_liqueurs navodi upravo ona pića (tj. Jägermeister, Amaro i sl.) koja se mogu usporediti s našim pelinkovcem i sličnim pićima.
Inače se liqueurs mogu raditi i od orašastih plodova (npr. talijanski Amaretto), ali mi takvih pića domaće proizvodnje nemamo. Kod nas se voće i orašasti plodovi uglavnom pretvaraju u rakije.
