Tasting notes

One of the best-selling flavours in Germany because of the popularity of the Hugo cocktail, La Liqueur de Monin Elderflower delivers the fragrant aroma and tart, juicy flavour of these creamy-white flowers. Often consumed as a cordial or a liqueur, both are crafted from the flowers of the Elder or Elderberry tree, commonly found in the English countryside. The English saying goes that summer is not here until the Elder is fully in flower and that it is at an end when the berries are ripe. Simply add La Liqueur de Monin Elderflower to champagne, mix in a white spirit based cocktail or with fruit juices for aromatic, summery refreshers.

The production of Monin Elderflower liqueur is a meticulous process that ensures the highest quality and flavor. The elderflowers used in the liqueur are handpicked at the peak of their bloom, when their fragrance and flavor are at their best. These delicate flowers are then carefully infused in a neutral spirit, allowing their essence to be captured.

The infusion process takes time, as the elderflowers slowly release their aromatic compounds into the spirit. This slow extraction ensures that the liqueur has a well-rounded and balanced flavor profile. After the infusion is complete, the liqueur is carefully filtered to remove any impurities, resulting in a smooth and clear liquid.

It can be used in a wide range of cocktails, from classic favorites to innovative creations.
