Some inns also serve brandy or cordials.
A very popular drink is coffee with liqueur, Kaffee mit Schnapps, or sometimes with the name of the restaurant as a prefix, as in Stieregg-Kaffee. Pfefferminze Tee is available almost everywhere, a good alternative for those who want a hot drink without caffeine.
