Trauktinė is the Lithuanian herbal liqueur tradition; Žalios Devynerios 999 is the canonical brand, made from nine herbs and the digestif of choice across Lithuanian dinners.
Trauktinė is Lithuania's herbal-liqueur tradition. Žalios Devynerios (Green Nine) 999 is the most famous brand, named for the nine herbs in the recipe and the 999 lottery-luck branding from the Soviet era. It pours dark green and tastes bitter-herbal, served as a digestif after a Lithuanian dinner. Lokys and most traditional Lithuanian restaurants in Vilnius keep it on the bar. Also worth tasting: Žalgiris mead-balsam at Senoji Trobelė.
