The word “elixir” was originally used solely for the compounds prepared by pharmacists and alchemists for purely medical purposes. With the advent of chemical pharmacy, the elixirs lost their original function and moved from the pharmacy shelves to those of the liquor stores. Suitably reinterpreted and sweetened, they quickly caught on as a delicacy for the palate.
This delicately bitter liqueur, like the jarred candies of the old grocery stores, comes from the blend of the delightfully bitter taste of rhubarb with the pure freshness of mint.
