Licor Montecristo de Haschisch ("Montecristo liquor of hashish") is a Spanish proprietary liquor made with hemp extract and sold for stomach pain and digestive disorders. Kenzi Riboulet-Zemouli and Josep Allué Creus give its makers as the pharmacy of Salvador Costa Gradolí at Albal, and its ingredients as wine alcohol, sugar, hemp extract, sweet calamus, "fistula cane", quassia and gentian, taken one to four cups at a time.[1]
It was patented in Valencia in 1910, under the title "Un Licor Aromático Denominado 'Haschisch de Montecristo'", and sold across north-eastern Spain and advertised in large newspapers. Riboulet-Zemouli and Allué Creus reproduce an advertisement from the Catalan newspaper La Vanguardia of 1927, the last year in which they found it documented.[1]
