Dessert Liqueurs From Around The World

These sweet tipples from around the world will satisfy any sweet-tooth.

England: Edwards 1902 Vodka Coffee Liqueur

Edwards 1902 is a British single-estate potato vodka made from King Edward potatoes, an old variety, dating back to 1902. Crafted in the Elsham Wold Distillery, Edwards 1902’s new single-origin Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur blends its award-winning, ultra-smooth vodka with rich, freshly roasted coffee sourced from neighboring private-label coffee roasters, Lincoln & York.

Italy: Villa de Varda Amaretto Liqueur

Meaning, “a little bitter” a good Italian amaretto shouldn’t be too sweet. Enter the gorgeous Villa de Varda. This small-batch tipple is made with hand-harvested almonds from the protected forests of Trentino, whereas other amarettos are often made with apricot or peach kernels. Just take one sip, and you’ll be able to tell the difference.

Australia: Mac. by Brookie’s

Any fans of macadamia nuts must try Mac. by Brookie’s, a premium liqueur of roasted macadamia nuts and wattleseed (the seeds of Australian Acacia trees), both sourced locally in Australia. Try it neat or in an espresso martini.

Italy: Mandrarossa’s Serapias Passito di Pantelleria

Mandrarossa’s Serapias Passito di Pantelleria DOC tastes like a warm Sicilian summer evening in a glass. This elegant, lush dessert wine takes its name from the endemic Serapias species of orchids, which grow in the volcanic soil at the foot of Montagna Grande, Pantelleria’s highest peak.

Portugal: Churchill’s Late Bottled Vintage Port

There’s something so elegant about ending a meal with port. For a taste of old-world refinement, try the complex and velvety Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port by the celebrated Churchill’s, a family-run wine and port producer based in the famed Douro Valley.

Panama: Ron Abuelo Oloroso

Finished in Sherry casks, Ron Abuelo’s super smooth Panamanian Oloroso rum pairs deliciously with dark chocolate with a touch of sea salt.

Africa: Elephant Gin Coffee Liqueur

While Elephant Gin isn’t made in Africa, the inspiration behind the brand comes from the African sundowner—as well as the African elephant: fifteen percent of profits are devoted to these majestic-but-endangered animals. What better excuse to buy a bottle of Elephant Gin Coffee Liqueur, made with Ethiopian cold brew coffee?

Ireland: Samuel Gelston’s Irish Cream Liqueur

Samuel Gelston’s newly launch Irish Cream Liqueur is a level-up version of your basic Bailey’s. With a silky smooth mouthfeel and plenty of chocolate flavor, this decadent drink doubles as dessert on its own or can be added to coffee.

New Zealand: Rose Rabbit Orange Liqueur

Set in the picturesque Southern Alps of New Zealand’s South Island, The Cardrona Distillery has a range of handcrafted, small-batch liqueurs called Rose Rabbit made with local ingredients, including New Zealand orange peel and Wild Central Otago Elderflower. Try Rose Rabbit Orange, made with fragrant orange peel macerated in Cardrona’s unaged single malt spirit.

Italy: Amaro Santoni

Florence is one of Italy’s premier food cities, so it’s no surprise that the multi-award-winning Amaro Santoni “dolce-amaro aperitivo” calls this Tuscan capital its hometown. With flowery notes of iris (a symbol of Tuscany) and bitter, earthy undertones, sip this one on ice or add sparkling water and turn it into an Italian spritz.

France: Giffard Crème de Cassis

Dating back to 1885, Giffard has over twenty liqueurs in its portfolio, but the Crème de Cassis is a true classic. Crafted from blackcurrants from France’s Loire Valley, this sweet-and-tart tipple is magnifique with champagne in a Kir Royale.

Mexico: Cazcabel Coffee

For the perfect after-dinner drink, try this blanco tequila infused with roasted coffee. Try Cazcabel Coffee straight from the freezer to best enjoy the vanilla undertones.
