The signal-green colour in the glass is unmistakable - Pisang Ambon has stood on bar shelves since 1948, carried by a recipe that travelled from Indonesia's banana groves to the Dutch house of Bols.

Expert's Description

Pisang Ambon is a Dutch banana liqueur at 17% ABV from the house of Bols, made following a traditional Indonesian recipe that Bols has produced since 1948.

The liqueur is known for its vivid green colour and sweet, ripe banana flavour, and its name comes from the Indonesian word "pisang" (banana) and the island of Ambon. It is made to work across a wide range of drinks, where it adds both colour and a round, tropical banana sweetness.

Taste

The taste is sweet and full-bodied with ripe bananas, a soft, tropical character and a light herbal undertone that adds depth without overtaking the banana sweetness.

Green, sweet and inspired by an island in the former Dutch East Indies - Pisang Ambon is the original banana liqueur that has coloured cocktails around the world since 1948.

Ekspertens beskrivelse

Pisang Ambon is a Dutch banana liqueur from Lucas Bols, based on an old Indonesian recipe, bottled at 17% ABV.

The liqueur was introduced in 1948 by Lucas Bols, whose roots as a family company date back to 1575. The name "Pisang" means banana in Indonesian, and "Ambon" refers to the Indonesian island the Dutch had ties to during the colonial period. Production itself takes place in Holland, however, where Bols had the resources and expertise to create a high-quality liqueur inspired by the exotic island.

Smag

The taste is sweet and full-bodied with a distinct character of sun-ripened bananas, while the characteristic green colour makes the liqueur easy to recognise in the glass. The sweetness is balanced and well suited to a wide range of cocktails.

There's something reassuring about a bottle that has followed the same recipe since 1898. Poli Elisir Prugna is one of the liqueurs the Poli family in Schiavon has never touched – because it was already perfect.

Expert's description

Poli Elisir Prugna is an Italian plum liqueur from Poli Distillerie, made from pure plum juice of the Prunus domestica variety, at 40% alcohol.

Poli Distillerie was founded in 1898 by GioBatto Poli in the small town of Schiavon in Veneto, and is today run by the fourth generation – siblings Jacopo, Gianpaolo, Barbara, and Andrea Poli. Liqueurs have been part of the production from the very start, and on the old 1930 letterhead, "Fabbrica liquori" actually appeared before "Distilleria Acquavite".

Elisir Prugna's story starts elsewhere. It was originally called Sliwovitz di Prugna, a dry plum liqueur. But in 1938, the term Sliwovitz became reserved for the dry plum distillates of Eastern Europe, and the Poli family had to find a new name for their own, sweeter version. Elisir Prugna was born – made by letting pure plum juice steep in alcohol, without distilling the fruit itself.

The result is a liqueur with a character somewhere between fruit, almond, and baked goods – a style deeply rooted in the traditions of the Vicenza area.

Taste

The aroma offers ripe plums, roasted almonds, and a hint of amaretto biscuit – warm and inviting, like a tray of cookies fresh from the oven. The taste is sweet without becoming cloying, with a distinct plum character and the characteristic touch of amaretto and bitter almond that Elisir Prugna is known for. The finish is soft and lingering, where almond and ripe fruit follow each other into a round, mellow close.

Poli Distillerie still sticks to the original recipe for Elisir Prugna, and at the distillery the liqueur is used, among other things, in the cocktail "Holy Prugna", where it's mixed with scotch whisky, ice, and a cherry garnish – a small reminder of just how versatile an old Italian family's liqueur recipe can be.

From a Milanese herbalist's workshop in 1815 to Pernod Ricard's international portfolio - Ramazzotti is one of Italy's oldest liqueur stories.

Ekspertens beskrivelse

Ramazzotti Sambuca is an Italian aniseed liqueur from the house of Ramazzotti, bottled at 38% ABV.

Fratelli Ramazzotti was founded in 1815 in Milan by herbalist Ausano Ramazzotti, who originally created a herbal liqueur (today known as Amaro Ramazzotti). Since 1985, the house has been part of the French spirits company Pernod Ricard, which today produces sambuca, limoncello and other Italian liqueurs under the brand in Canelli, where the traditional maceration and blending techniques are still used.

Smag

The liqueur has a clean, classic aniseed flavour with a pleasant sweetness and a lightly spiced depth. The taste reflects the house's long experience with maceration techniques since its founding in 1815.

Shrubb is an old Caribbean tradition where bitter orange peel is left to steep in rum for weeks. Rhum JM's version adds spice and vanilla to the mix, creating a liqueur far more complex than the name suggests.

Expert Description

Rhum JM Shrubb D'Orange is a Martinique Rum Liqueur flavoured with bitter orange peel and bottled at 35%.

The base is a blend of white rum and three-year-old cask-aged rum from the Fonds-Préville distillery, macerated with bitter orange peel, natural cane syrup, and vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg for several weeks. The shrubb tradition dates back to a time when Caribbean households used citrus peel maceration in rum as a way to make full use of the fruit, long before it became a cocktail ingredient.

The result is a liqueur that sits somewhere between an English orange marmalade and a spiced digestif, where the mild agricole rum binds the orange's bitterness together with sweetness and spice.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Candied orange peel and cranberry-orange muffin, opening toward a bright orange sorbet.

Palate

Sweet and fruity with candied orange and spice, harmoniously woven into the mild agricole rum.

Finish

Long with a lively hint of lime zest and freshly grated nutmeg.

At six in the evening in Marseille there is a sound nobody thinks about: water hitting pastis, and the glass changing colour. Ricard is the bottle that sound comes from.

Expert description

Ricard 45 Pastis de Marseille is a French Pastis created in Marseille and bottled at 45%.

Paul Ricard made it in 1932, only seventeen years after absinthe was banned in France. The recipe is built on star anise from China, liquorice root from Syria and aromatic herbs from Provence, and it has not been changed since.

It is the best-selling pastis in the world, which is why people order a Ricard rather than a pastis. The profile is clean and immediately recognisable — anise and liquorice with no spice layer on top — and it is built to be diluted rather than drunk as it stands.

Tasting notes

Nose

Star anise straight away, dense and sweet. Liquorice root sits just behind it, with a fine trace of dried Provençal herbs.

Palate

Soft, sweet liquorice, rounded anise and a light peppery warmth. Diluted it opens out and turns more herbal.

Finish

Sweet and heavy with liquorice, steady all the way through. Not complicated, but it lingers a long time.

There is rum, and then there are drinks that use rum as a starting point for something else entirely. Elixir de Cuba belongs to the latter category, and makes no secret of it.

Expert description

Ron Mulata de Cuba Elixir de Cuba is a Spirit Drink based on Cuban rum blended with dark grapes and bottled at 34%.

The elixir is produced by Ron Mulata, Cuba's second best-selling rum brand, by adding small dark grapes to a long cask-matured rum base. This results in a sugar content exceeding the Cuban limit for the term rum, which is why it is correctly sold as a Spirit Drink. The style is sweeter and rounder than classic Cuban rum, intended to be enjoyed neat or in sweet mixes.

Picture a street in Mexico, where horchata is sold ice-cold from big glass jars - rice, cinnamon and sugar stirred together into something creamy and cool. Carry that feeling all the way to Wisconsin, where dairy cattle stand shoulder to shoulder and cream is the state's pride. Mix the two with rum from the Caribbean, and you're roughly where RumChata was born.

Expert description

RumChata Liqueur is an American Cream liqueur based on rum, made with Caribbean rum and fresh Wisconsin cream, bottled at 15%.

The idea came from Tom Maas, who had spent many years in the spirits industry, including at Jim Beam. He came across horchata, the creamy, cinnamon-driven drink found across much of Latin America, and built a liqueur around it. The result began rolling out of Pewaukee, Wisconsin, in 2009. The rum base is distilled five times and chosen to be light and smooth rather than heavy and molasses-like. It's homogenised together with real dairy cream so it won't separate, and spiced with vanilla, cinnamon, sugar and the house's own blend. The label states 38% rum and 22% cream in the finished liqueur. The bottling is imported into Europe by Mack & Schühle AG in Germany.

Taste

The nose offers warm cinnamon, almost bakery-like, with vanilla, condensed milk and a hint of ripe banana behind it, while the rum stays discreetly in the background. On the palate, RumChata Liqueur is soft and full without becoming heavy - cinnamon spreads immediately, followed by cream caramel, vanilla and a light sweetness, while the finish is creamy with a warm, spiced close where the rum finally steps forward.

On the island of Læsø, salt is still boiled the way it was hundreds of years ago, in open iron pans fired with the island's own wood. The handmade Sydesalt is the heart of Råstoff Salty Caramel, a Danish liqueur that brings together salty and sweet in classic Scandinavian style.

Expert description

Råstoff Salty Caramel is a Danish liqueur at 16.4% ABV from the Råstoff brand, based on pure vodka with selected high-quality ingredients added.

Råstoff is made for the discerning drinker who values quality and refined taste, and the liqueur can be enjoyed in several ways: as a cold shot, mixed into cocktails, or added to hot drinks such as coffee or cocoa.

Brazil is the homeland of sugar cane. Miles of green fields, heavy heat and a tradition of pressing the juice fresh instead of boiling it down to molasses. This is where this bottle comes from - named after a man who would rather fly than stay on the ground.

Expert description

Santos Dumont XO Elixir is a Brazilian Rum Liqueur built on Santos Dumont XO Rum aged in Bourbon casks, PX Sherry casks and Port casks and bottled at 40%.

The base rum is distilled from freshly pressed sugar cane juice - not molasses - in old pot stills. Then comes the ageing, and it happens in three stages. Bourbon casks of American white oak lay down vanilla and a dry peppery edge. PX Sherry casks pull honey and ripe dark fruit into the rum. Port casks round it off with sweetness and a light tannin.

Once the rum is finished, local herbs and a measured amount of cane honey are added. That is the step that turns Elixir into Elixir. The result is not a dry rum you analyse your way through, and it does not try to be. The label says Elixir, and that is exactly what is in the glass: thick, amber and sweet, with beautiful legs down the glass. Bottling happens in small batches under Old St. Croix Spirits ApS in Dragør, which is also behind A.H. Riise.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Banana and coconut first, then ripe fruit and a nutty note of apricot kernel. Honey sits underneath it all, and after a little time in the glass, vanilla and candied orange emerge.

Palate

Sweet and full-bodied. Honey and fermented fruit carry the palate, with caramel, coconut and raisin in the background. There is a light tingle on the tongue that keeps the sweetness from turning flat.

Finish

Warm and long. Honey and dried fruit, a touch of cinnamon and oak spice at the very end.

Alberto Santos-Dumont grew tired of fumbling with a pocket watch while piloting his flying machines. He asked his friend Louis Cartier for a solution, and in 1904 he got a watch strapped to his wrist. It is still called the Cartier Santos - one of the world's first wristwatches, invented because a Brazilian needed both hands in the air.

Where Aperol has its orange, Sarti has its pink - a fresh, sweet aperitivo that tints every spritz the prettiest shade of pink, built on sun-ripened Sicilian blood orange, mango and passion fruit.

Ekspertens beskrivelse

Sarti Rosa is an Italian Aperitivo Spritz liqueur at 14% ABV, produced by Sarti in Italy from blood orange, mango and passion fruit.

Distilleria Sarti was founded in Bologna in 1885 and is today part of the Campari Group, which took over both the distillery and the name in the 1970s. Sarti Rosa is the house's modern take on the classic Italian aperitivo tradition, where the sweetness of sun-ripened Sicilian blood orange, mango and passion fruit gives it a lighter, sweeter profile than the more bitter classics.

Smag

The nose is fruity and sweet with clear blood orange and tropical notes of mango and passion fruit. The palate is light, refreshing and less bitter than most aperitivi, with a pleasant sweetness that makes it easy to drink both in a spritz and on its own.
