CombierMandarineLiqueur(500ml)

Sans In the history of cocktail making, orange is arguably one of the most used liqueur ingredients. A closely related expression employs mandarines, but besides the famous Mandarine Napoleon, few other producers have offered the citrus in liqueur form. Typically mandarines from Sicily are lightly ‘crushedâ€?then macerated in neutral distillate to harness the full flavour of the meat of the fruit. Loire-based distiller, Combier have introduced their own version. While not as intense as some curacaos, we love the way this accents the pith-peel aspect of the fruit on the nose in a very natural way. That’s echoed on the palate which captures the luscious character of ripe mandarines, balanced by a touch of acidity at the finish. Even though the ABV is lower than its cognac-based equivalents, this will make a delicious contribution to Margaritas, Brandy Crustas or Mandarin Spritz. 25% Alc./Vol.
