Relatively light and delicate, this liqueur has a pale gold hue and is fragranced with white flowers and citrus. It's not overly sweet or heavy on the palate, showing subtle floral notes and a whisper of grapefruit peel. This nuanced liqueur would play well with gin or light rum in aperitif cocktails. Best Buy.
First prepared by 13th century Italian monks as herbal medicines and elixirs, Liqueurs are distilled spirits that have been combined with flavoring agents. A range of herbs, spices, nuts, fruits and flowers can be used, and a sweetener such as sugar or corn syrup is often added. While typically rather sweet, some examples are herbaceous or tart and pair exceptionally well with desserts or act as a delightful addition to cocktails.
