Cocktails with Crème de Mûre liqueur
Crème de mûre is a sweet blackberry liqueur made by macerating the fruit in spirit and heavily sweetening it.
ABV15–20%
Taste profile
Thick and syrupy on the palate, with a jammy blackberry sweetness that lingers into a tart, slightly seedy finish.
How it's used
Floated or drizzled over a finished drink for a bleeding-color effect, or shaken in small measures as a fruit sweetener and colorant; a little goes far given its sugar load.
Substitutes for Crème de Mûre liqueur
Another dark berry liqueur, such as a blackcurrant or raspberry crème.
Description
The liqueur takes its color and flavor from blackberries steeped in a neutral spirit base, then sweetened to the high sugar level that the "crème de" designation implies. The result is a dark, syrupy purple-red liqueur.
