Dirty Harry Lakritz Likör
German Salted Licorice Liqueur
Dirty Harry Lakritz Likör is a bold German specialty liqueur made with intense licorice (lakritz), anise, and salmiak-style salty notes. Produced by the Berentzen-Gruppe, it is known for its deep black color, strong herbal-spice profile, and distinctive sweet–salty balance that appeals especially to licorice enthusiasts.
It is typically served as a chilled shot and is a common party and nightlife drink in Germany.
