Kleiner Feigling
German Fig-Flavored Party Liqueur
Kleiner Feigling is a well-known German fruit liqueur brand best recognized for its playful branding and smooth fig-based flavor. Produced by BEHN, it is especially popular in nightlife and party culture, often served as a chilled shot. Despite the name (“little coward”), it has no relation to alcohol strength—just a humorous marketing identity that became iconic in Germany.
