96-100 points Wine Enthusiast: "The seductive bouquet offers wonderfully floral, fruity, guava- and melon-like fragrances of elderflower, becoming richly pear- and quince-like following aeration time. The palate entry is soft and firm; the midpalate is integrated, harmonious and exquisitely balanced between alcohol level, sweetness, acidity and floral impact. A perfect liqueur. *Best Buy* (PP)" (04/2008) K&L Notes: Double Gold Medal at the 2007 and 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition! St. Germain is an artisanal French liqueur made from hand-p...

This is the fabulous Kina l'Avion d'Or. Watch out Lillet and Cocchi Americano, this is a traditional Kina Aperitif recipe coming from a hundred year old recipe from a distillery in Switzerland. Richer than expected, it doesn't have the light heartedness of the Americano, but it certainly makes up for it in term of depth. The nose is deeply perfumed and wild! The palate has the perfect interplay between bitter and sweet. This is sure to be a classic.

This is a high quality orange liqueur that was recommended to us by one of San Francisco's finest mixologists. A selection of sweet oranges from Brazil and Florida (Pera) and bitter oranges from The Ivory Coast and Sicily (Bigarade) results in a medley of notes, smooth and sour altogether. The different flavors call to mind the Curaçao Island and the West Indies. The maceration of orange zest in pure alcohol in a copper pot still during several hours is followed by a distillation. The resulting orange spirit is blended with crystallized sugar, water to ...

Founded in Mexico City by Hillhamn Salome, Flor De Luna Distillery is one of Mexico's only female owned and operated distilleries.

The mezcal is sourced from Mazatlan, Sinaloa Mexico. It's made in the artisanal method from agave espadin by mezcalero Edilberto ...

90-95 points Wine Enthusiast: "The bouquet is lovely, balanced, properly astringent, ripe and juicy with scents of cherry stone and cherry juice. The palate entry is decadently sweet and textured with vibrant tastes of cherry compote and cherry preserves at midpalate. The finish is svelte, moderately syrupy and downright delicious. An outstanding liqueur: use it in an Aviation Cocktail." (12/2007) K&L Notes: This classic ingredient is a must-have for every serious cocktail bar. If you don't keep Luxardo in your home bar, you're missing the chance to re...

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "New to the U.S. market in 2012, this 'dry' Curaçao is intriguing and should work well as a sophisticated sweetener alongside bitter-edged spirits and darker, biting spirits like rye whiskey. While not precisely dry, this golden liqueur has its vanilla sweetness tempered by a wash of bitter orange. The scent is rich and agave-like, with a touch of mezcal-like funkiness. (KN)" (02/2012) K&L Notes: Designed by renowned cocktailian David Wondrich, this is perhaps the finest orange liqueur available for mixing. Try it in a Sideca...

96-100 points Wine Enthusiast: "The perfect crème de cassis bouquet features concentrated black currant skin aromas and extreme tannic acid. Palate entry is super tannic and astringent and focused on the black currant juice and skins; the midpalate is perfectly balanced between the ripe fruit, acid, tannin and sweet tartness. Concludes thick, incredibly tart and astringent, and utterly luscious. A crème de cassis beauty.

Tempus Fugit is a California-based spirit brand that started with absinthe and specializes in liqueurs, aperitifs, cordials with history. This coffee liqueur was inspired by a 1755 recipe popularized at Yemen's Port of Mokha (or Mocha), once the center for coffee exports.

This velvety, complex coffee liqueur reveals hints of dark berries and floral tones along with intense ...

Another of Tempus Fugit's historical recipes. Very few liqueurs capture the essence of their components quite like the incredible products from Tempus Fugit. By using exacting research and traditional techniques, they've taken us back to the golden age like no other modern brand.

Originally created in 1823 by James Pimm of Kent to be served as a digestif, Pimm's Original Gin Sling was the first "House Cup" at London's popular Oyster Bar, thus the spirit's name: Pimm's No. 1 Cup. A special blend of herbs, liqueurs and quinine were steeped in gin and paired with oysters on the half shell. As the brand's reputation grew, other Pimm's Cups were developed, each based on different spirits, including vodka and brandy, but only the gin-based cup is available in the US today. The iconic cocktail, appropriately named Pimm's Cup, has been a...

From the exceptional team at Tempus Fugit Spirits, this authentic Violette recipe stands out from the crowd of other violet liqueurs. Officially distinct from what's available, the Tempus Fugit Violettes is classified as a liqueur rather than a crème. This means less sugar. Light and ethereal, it does not come off as soapy or overly aromatic. In addition, the use of cochineal for coloring means that no artificial dye is needed. Clearly one of the best violettes on the market despite not adhering to the category's standardized color scheme.

The elusive Génépy (Génépi) from Dolin is a type of liqueur that has long been sought-after, but only recently become available in the US. Its character is derived from the various alpine shrubs of the genus Artemisia. More commonly known as wormwood, Genepi is an iconic alpine botanical associated with the kingdom of Savoy and the regions in France, Switzerland, and Italy that once made up that kingdom. It's been used for centuries to flavor liqueurs, digestifs, and various tonics. The flavor profile falls somewhere in between modern absinthe and chartr...

Pernod's distinctive flavor comes from the distillation of star anise with a number of aromatic herbs and plants. The original Pernod was an absinthe, though because of the controversy that surrounded the drink of Picasso, Baudelaire and Van Gogh, the ingredient responsible for the drink's hallucinatory effect was banned. Now absinthe free, this legendary product has become one of the best-known digestifs available today.

Mr. Black is the new cold brew coffee liqueur from one of the world's great coffee cultures - Australia.

Shortly after Prohibition ended in late 1933, a New Orleans apothecary-turned-entrepreneur by the name of J. Marion Legendre introduced a product called Legendre Absinthe.

His launch of Legendre Absinthe was a dream come true. Sadly for Legendre, just months after launching his product, the U.S. Government forced him to remove the word absinthe from his brand name a...
