Questions and answers
- Is the liquid different between the two bottles?
- No. Both are Mari Mayans hierbas ibicencas at 26% ABV in a 1 litre bottle. The difference is the herb sprig in Product A.
- Which is better for cocktails?
- Either works. The 26% ABV and anise-herb profile mix well with soda, lemon, or gin. The senza ramo is the practical pick if you plan to pour a lot.
- Which makes a better gift?
- The sprig version. The herb sprig in the bottle is the traditional Ibicencan presentation and reads as more special.
- How strong is it?
- 26% ABV, or 52 proof. That is stronger than wine and lighter than most spirits, so serve it in small measures.
- Should I serve it chilled?
- Yes, many drinkers chill it and serve in a shot or small wine glass after a meal. It also works over ice with a splash of soda.
