We don’t know how much of the back-story of “the first liqueur in the world created in the artisanal French manner from freshly handpicked elderberry blossoms” to trust, but the result is a delightful drink that plays on one’s tongue. Velvety smooth with a floral nose, the golden 40-proof liquid made in France and newly available in the U.S. is sweet and seductive, not saccharine. The enjoyable lychee-like flavor is very similar to that of Soho Lychee Liqueur, but more sophisticated, with a hint of pear. It can be substituted for non-alcoholic elderberry flavorings in cocktails, mixed with white wine, or enjoyed straight from its individually numbered bottle at room temperature.
