Amber color. Aromas and flavors of fresh squeeze valencia orange, lime zest and red plum, and ginger with a glycerous, bright, fruity sweet medium body and an interesting, long finish with impressions of orange mamba, pickled ginger, and lemon zest. A delicious, not too syrupy Brandy Liqueur; with a touch of lime you would have a Sidecar ready to go.

Flavored Brandy Liqueur

Flavored Brandy Liqueurs are liqueurs using either Cognac or Brandy as a base and flavored mostly commonly with orange–like in the most famous example, Grand Marnier–or other flavorings such as vanilla or coffee and then sweetened with sugar. These should not be confused with Fruit-Flavored Brandies, which are grape Brandies that have been flavored with the extract of another fruit and are much drier.
