Amarula

Hailing from South Africa, this cream liqueur is produced with a base spirit that is distilled from carefully selected and hand-picked fruits of African marula, which is also known as elephant tree. The base is aged and then combined with sugar and cream to create a rich liqueur that is characterized by its slight caramel flavor and underlying notes of vanilla and spices.

Since marula fruit is a treat for elephants, the brand has turned them into a trademark, and actively work on their protection. Amarula is best served well-chilled, preferably over ice, but it also blends well into cocktails, especially those based on whiskey or vodka.
