The key is the caraway flavor, the seeds are essential in the kraut but the distilled essence is pure evil.
We had a variant called 'citroen-brandewijn' which had a lemon taste and was typically drunk by my aunts at birthday parties. From a shot glass, with a teaspoon of sugar added.
Yeah, Dutch women are interesting! 😉

Well, as a general rule, and if you are one of the few exceptions I apologize, Dutch women drinking citroenbrandewijn are only interesting in the diplomatic usance of the word.

Actually those aunts were drinking citroen-brandewijn when I wasn't even in my teens. They are all long dead now. Could have been the c-b.
That was also the time that part of womens' lib was the taking up of chain smoking by women. That also killed a sizeable proportion.

I have never seen the caraway added pre-destillation, only
added to neutral Schnapps like from apple or wodka-like and
filtered after a few weeks.
Absolutely not bad if you have overstressed your stomach.

I mis-spoke for effect, the example I had was too much for me. I prefer Boonekamp style for a digestif.
Does anyone have personal experience with one of these drinks? Or can add to it?

These things cycle as baristas have more things to play with. 25yr. ago there was "The Brain". Baileys floated into strawberry liqueur and carefully stirred to coagulate the Baileys to look like a brain in a glass of blood.
At least the whole LN2 craze in cocktails has died out in UK after a teen had her stomach destroyed.
'the brain' is an innocent thing..:
Oh, the thing called 'the cement mixer' - not that long ago while at Uni that was called the 'Brain Haemorrhage' - not delivered as a pre-mix but two distinct shots back to back held in the mouth - the second, the lime juice, instantly acidulates the cream content, and the effect ('mouth feel' to ounophiles) is, erm, wonderfully vile. Hence the UK soubriquet. it also does.not.work on top of pints of beer as we do them; no, not at all... horrific precipitates.
Also suffered a few good drinking games resulting in worse. Such as - on the innocent deal of a pack of cards round those mates drinking - first Jack names the pint (of beer), second Jack names the spirit, 3rd buys the pair - and the fourth gets to drink them. Yeh.
...from experience I would add that after c. the second pint of Guinness-with-Pernod you generally make your excuses and ...go be ill elsewhere., by, say, arguing %ppm audible distortions online 😉

Heavy cream with tomato juice mixed also looks scary! But it is delicious! I used it for breakfast when was a student. 🙂
I once had the misfortune of having a 'black vegetable' which was 1/3 Guinness, 1/3 cider and topped up with as many optics as you could fit in.
