"apps" = appetizers

I just bought a Czech liquer, Becherovka, very famous from the spa town of Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), I will taste it next weekend, and I will bring it to our drinks party:

Becherovka
Type Bitters
Country of origin Czech Republic
Alcohol by volume 38%
Becherovka (Czech pronunciation: [ˈbɛxɛˌrofka] , formerly Karlsbader Becherbitter, is a herbal bitters, often drunk as a digestive aid, that is produced in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic by the Jan Becher company. The brand is owned by Pernod Ricard.
Becherovka is often described as having a gingery or cinnamony flavor. It is made from a secret recipe based on a wide variety of herbs and spices. Its alcohol content is 38% ABV (76 proof). It is usually served chilled.
Some serve it with tonic water, making a drink called a beton (becherovka and tonic) which means "concrete" in Czech, and lot of other languages. This Cocktail was very popular in the Czech Republic during the 90s.[citation needed]
The Jan Becher Museum in Karlovy Vary is devoted to Becherovka.
The inventor of Becherbitter was Josef Vitus Becher (17691840). Apart from trading in spices and colonial goods in his shop, Haus zu den drei Lerchen (At the Three Skylarks), he also produced alcoholic beverages. In 1794, he rented a stillhouse and began to experiment with hard alcohol. Following the example of his forefathers, he also served in public office (as councillor, mayor and portreeve). Josef married twice (his first wife died of pneumonia) and had a total of 16 children, though only five daughters and two sons outlived him. Josefs son, Johann "Jan" Nepomuk Becher, took over in 1838.
The producer says that only two people know the secret of the entire production process and may enter the Drogikamr roomwhere, once a week, they mix the herbs and spices used in the drink. Some of the herbs are imported from abroad, and some grow around Karlovy Vary..."
