If you’re sitting in a quaint café along the charming Nyhavn and you happen to notice a Dane swishing back a glass of bitters with his breakfast, don’t be alarmed! This is a fairly common tradition. Gammel Dansk is a Danish-produced bitters that has been around for ages and is usually enjoyed with a cup of coffee or beer over breakfast.
Gammel Dansk is a delicious 70 proof blend of 29 different herbs, including rowanberry, angelica, star aniseed, nutmeg, and ginger, among others. It is produced in Dalby, Denmark in southeast Zealand by Danish Distillers, Ltd and is also believed to be a useful digestive cure by many Scandinavians.
In addition to this morning anomaly, delightful Denmark is full of other surprises. Take a stroll through the glittering Tivoli Gardens at night. Make your way by train to the fairytale home of Hans Christian Anderson in Odense or catch the ferry out to the remote Aerø Island for a step back in time. Copenhagen is a culturally rich and lively city of its own accord, as well as a popular starting point for continued travel into Oslo (by direct flight or overnight ferry) and Stockholm (via rail, rental car, or direct flight). Denmark also continues to be ranked as one of the happiest nations in the world…One can’t help, but wonder if that has anything to do with what they drink with breakfast!
