light inside.
Strong green tea forms the foundation of the recipe and provides natural caffeine along with a pleasant bitter note.
Equally powerful - and at the same time extremely subtle: The completely unique bouquet of essential oils from herbs, citrus fruits and spices in the purest food-grade quality creates the essence of this distinctive and refreshing liquid.
The perfect sweetness comes exclusively from a natural source: sun-ripened apples.
the elixir which is good for you.
HERBAL ELIXIR No1 is particularly impressive served as an aperitif, straight up, or on the rocks. It's also perfect for a fine spritz, as a base, or as a modifier for fine cocktails.
As a so-called "functional drink," the unique liquid began its own story in the growing market of non-alcoholic spirits back in 2017. As Markman likes to say: Back then, this "alcohol-free steamboat" didn't even exist.
This unique recipe doesn't attempt to imitate alcohol. It's your elixir.
The stuff that's good for you and tastes good.
our dream start into the gastronomy.
Markmans has its roots in classical music as well as in Cologne and Berlin techno. We play Johann Sebastian Bach. Or a good DJ set.
You can find markmans in the art and fashion scene, on a yacht in the South of France, at festivals or a retreat in the mountains of Morocco.
Does Markmans also polarize opinion? Certainly.
But thanks to its recipe and many recommendations, our small manufactory has managed to enrich the mindset of many wonderful people.
The power of botanicals is inspiring.
It's as if "the levers are being pushed upwards" inside you. Many people say that it turns on the light within them, both physically and mentally.
