Kummel is, or at least used to be (times change) the apres-links drink of choice at the poshest clubs in Scotland (e.g. Muirfield, R&A, Prestwick, Elie, etc.). It's a licorice-flavored drink with no particular merit other than alcoholic content and cachet. However.....if you find yourself up at the bar at Luffness, say, after an early Spring round and some old geezer offers to buy you a drink, if you say "A Kummel would do nicely, thank you" you'll be in with the bricks, as they say in toff-land.
