The story stretches back to the ancient world, when beer and wine were used to provide nutrition, hydration and act as solvents for healing botanicals. Over time, alchemists distilled elixirs designed to cure all diseases, monastic apothecaries developed mystical botanical liqueurs, travelling physicians concocted dubious intoxicating nostrums and the drinks we’re familiar with today began to take form.
