Who likes a nice herbal liqueur?

[EscarpmentDew]

Everyone who has found this hobby and enjoys it is probably not in a rut when it comes to trying new things and experimenting/learning. My new thing is to make a nice herbal liquour which I enjoy as much as Jaggermeister. People have posts on this specific brand, but nothing is really concrete in terms of ingredients and a recipe. I think a mock Jaggermeister is very much achievable with less than the 52 ingredients that is supposed to be in it. Hopefully, I'll find out for myself.

I have made a sambucca coffee liqueur, chocolate almond, banana/coconut flavoured rum, and more, but have never really been hooked on anyone of these flavours. I have found that my preferences are more suited to my neutral spirits rather than anything I've tried as of yet, but still, I would love to try my hand at using different herbs and spices. I am smelling things I have never thought to smell before; it's fun and I have learned a lot about what I like. So far, I have found that I am most partial to corriander, bay leaves, and some others which are all quite subtle in flavour and smell. Has anyone stumbled on a recipe they enjoy (the herb and spice criteria in mind)? I have!

I macerated 1 large bay leaf in 373 mL of 45% ABV. Now, the next thing that I did most people will criticize (I think) because I put my sweetener in before macerating entirely. Live and learn, but yeah, I put 2 tbsp of molasses into a pot with a bit of water to create a nice syrup, and I added lemon juice for flavour. The lemon juice was a little overpowering, but it tastes awesome with some ginger-ale. This leads me to think I should try it with a little ginger next time and a little less lemon juice. Try 1 tbsp of lemon juice (and I used 3). I give it the nickname of bay zest, but I am sure someone has posted a recipe like it online before, or probably even on this forum.
