LIQUEURS

PAGÈS VERVEINE DU VELAY FRANCE The verbena which is used in the range of products marketed by the company Verveine du Velay Pagès* is grown near Saint Germain-Laprade. An icon of Auvergne’s gastronomic heritage, Pagès Verveine du Velay combines local vervain with a delicious bouquet of plants and spices. It takes some 18 months to create this liqueur using three key steps: maceration, distillation and ageing in oak barrels. Pagès Verveine du Velay Verte Liqueur 110PF / 750ML Herbal notes of lemon verbena, juniper and nutmeg. Powerful and aromatic on the palate, with a refreshing finish. PARANUBES MEXICO, OAXACA Coffee & cane. Both have been growing in the Sierra Mazateca region of northern Oaxaca for centuries. Also home to Paranubes Oaxacan rum, this hidden gem of Mexican culture and history is the origin of Paranubes Coffee Liqueur, a unique recipe inspired by the old tradition of brewing coffee in clay pots with raw sugar and cinnamon. We hope you enjoy our take on this Mexican culinary staple. Paranubes Café de Olla Coffee Liqueur 50PF / 750ML Crafted in Oaxaca by José Luís Carrera, this liqueur blends wild-fermented cane juice rum with locally roasted cold brew, cinnamon, and panela. It’s an intensely flavored, moderately sweet spirit where vegetal rum notes shine. Perfect for a digestif or a Carajillo. POLI DISTILLERIE VENETO, ITALY Since 1898, the Poli family has crafted artisanal Veneto grappa.

Poli Liquore Camomila 60PF / 750ML The infusion of real camomile flowers in Grappa, following a family recipe from the 30’s, is what makes Elisir Poli what it is: the result is a floral elisir, sweet and delicate as a meadow in summer. Poli Sambuca Elisir 80PF / 750ML A classic Mediterranean star anise liqueur, Sambuca Poli is colorless, silky, and intensely sweet. Whether served with a coffee bean or in a cocktail, it represents a refined return to the distillery’s post-war roots.

Pastis de Marseille 90PF / 700ML / 1.0L

The liqueur that we call pastis is the direct descendant of the infamous absinthe, the controversial spirit of Paris in the 1890s. The flavor comes from licorice and seeds of the star anise plant, an important ingredient in Absinthe.

Unlike anise, pastis contains licorice as a major ingredient. Pastis has a clear brown, yellow hue, and turns a whitish-gray with water. Prince Pastis is an extraordinary ingredient in culinary recipes, from pastries to marinades.
