Tempus Fugit Crème de Cacao a la Vanille

The standard bearer for all creme de cacao, Tempus Fugit creme de cacao la vanille is without a doubt the best and it may be one of the best liqueurs period. The nose is as expected heavy on cacao and vanilla. The palate is where this shines and puts other creme de cacao's to shame. Its rich and decadent but not overly sweet. There are touches of cinnamon and vanilla and at no point does this taste artificial. It's almost like drinking a brownie. The finish is long, with no burn, as a wave of chocolate syrup hits. Is it expensive? Absolutely, but it is completely worth it. Any cocktail that calls for creme de cacao will be elevated by using this, just be sure to adjust the amounts if the recipe doesnt call for this specific brand since it will probably expect you to be using some cheaper artificial tasting creme de cacao. If you want to know what a quality liqueur tastes like, this is it.

2.23.22 Served: Neat, Flute Bottle Open: 2 Months Abv: 24% Brix Refractometer reading: 54% (Not actual brix due to presence of alcohol) Aroma: First Impressions are brownies and bakers chocolate. Returning after several sniffs yields a more medicinal chocolate aroma. Flavor: Like drinking brownies up front with a darker version of hersheys chocolate syrup in the back. Must be taken in tiny sips, otherwise the alcohol and chocolate flavors clash. Makes an amazing Grasshopper (Won't be green) In contrast to Tempus Fugit's suggestions, their Creme De Menthe is much too strong for an equal parts grasshopper. Grasshopper: 1oz cream 0.5oz Tempus Fugit Creme de Menthe 1.5oz Tempus Fugi Creme de Cacao

The best Creme De Cacoa you can buy hands down
