Look for a pale straw tinge and a bold agave scent from the moment this orange liqueur is poured, backed by candied citrus peel. The palate opens juicy and honey-sweet, braced up with agave bite and a citric note in the finish that suggests lemon. While this orange liqueur seems custom-made for sweetening margaritas and other tequila-based drinks, the assertive agave note might be less harmonious in drinks made with other spirits.
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.
