The World of Liqueurs
Liqueurs represent spirits' most diverse and creative category, combining base spirits with sugars, fruits, herbs, spices, cream, or other flavourings to create distinctive beverages. These sweetened spirits range from rich, dessert-like cream liqueurs to bitter, complex aperitifs, serving roles from cocktail ingredients to digestifs and everything between.
Cream Liqueurs
Chocolate Cream Liqueurs – Austria's Mozart distillery produces exceptional chocolate cream liqueurs combining premium spirits with real chocolate and fresh cream. These indulgent liqueurs showcase different chocolate expressions—white chocolate with vanilla, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate—each offering luxurious texture and authentic chocolate flavour.
Mozart liqueurs employ traditional Austrian craftsmanship, using Belgian chocolate, Madagascar vanilla, and fresh Alpine cream. The result is smooth, rich liqueurs perfect for sipping over ice, adding to coffee, or incorporating into dessert cocktails and recipes.
Dairy-Free Alternatives – Modern cream liqueurs include vegan options like Aihiki Coconut Cream Liqueur, combining coconut cream with premium spirits for indulgent, dairy-free alternatives. These liqueurs offer the same luxurious texture as traditional cream liqueurs whilst being suitable for vegan diets.
Italian Aperitifs & Digestifs
Aperol – Italy's iconic orange aperitif, Aperol combines bitter and sweet orange, rhubarb, and herbs, creating the distinctive bittersweet flavour that defines the Aperol Spritz. Produced in Padua since 1919, Aperol's vibrant orange colour and moderate bitterness (11% ABV) make it perfect for pre-dinner cocktails.
The liqueur's balanced bitterness, citrus character, and refreshing profile have made it globally popular, particularly in spritz cocktails combining Aperol, prosecco, and soda water.
Amaro (Bitter Liqueurs) – Italian amari are herbal, bittersweet liqueurs traditionally consumed as digestifs. These complex spirits combine numerous botanicals—herbs, roots, flowers, citrus peels—creating layered flavour profiles that aid digestion.

The liqueur's production involves macerating sun-dried orange peels from Haiti, Brazil, and Spain, then distilling to capture pure orange essence without colour or cloudiness.
