I just bought some kind of alcohol bitters drink from the pharmacy. The formula for the herbal essences is almost the same with the Swedish Bitter.
It's the first time I get to drink such a beverage. The taste is awesome, and it leaves a pleasant aroma in my mouth after I drink it.

Swedish Bitter, he probably means "Gammel Dansk". A whole group of Swedish mountain hikers I knew say/said it was "Daily Danish drink" but was adopted by the Swedes. Traditionally you take a shot of it each morning to keep colds at bay and give you the entusiasm for the 8-12 hours hike to the next camp, the taste does grow on you after about 3 shots and becomes quite pleasant. If you are in the North of Sweden during the mosquito season it is a life saver, as you no longer care if you are being eaten alive. About 1/2 a bottle will give you the mother of all hangovers.
