Creme Yvette Liqueur

Creme Yvette is a fruit and berry liqueur from France, formulated to be gluten-free, making it accessible to consumers with dietary restrictions. Creme Yvette represents a historic revival of a celebrated spirit that shaped cocktail culture during the golden age of mixing. After nearly a century of absence, The Cooper Spirits Company has reintroduced this iconic liqueur, hand-crafted in France near Bordeaux, responding to the contemporary resurgence of cocktail culture and the desire of modern bartenders to access the same ingredients their pioneering predecessors used to create classic cocktail expressions.

The flavor foundation of Creme Yvette rests upon an all-natural blend of four carefully selected berry fruits: mure, framboise, cassis, and fraise sauvage, combined with dried violet petals from Provence. The liqueur's production employs a vinimatic maceration process, utilizing a pneumatic press to extract intense, rich flavors from the fruit and botanical components. A subtle addition of honey and orange peel provides final balance and sophistication. The primary tasting notes deliver intense, rich berry fruits matched with the depth and subtle botanical overtone derived from the violet petals, creating a liqueur of remarkable complexity and refinement. With 27.75% alcohol by volume (ABV) (55.5 Proof), this liqueur pairs exceptionally well as an after-dinner digestif, enjoyed on its own or with complementary accompaniments, and serves as a versatile cocktail ingredient for both historic classic cocktails and contemporary inspired creations.

Whether recreating storied vintage cocktails documented in historic bartending references or inventing new expressions, Creme Yvette provides the quality, integrity, and balanced flavor that have distinguished this spirit throughout its remarkable history, from its introduction in 1890 to its celebrated appearances in foundational bartending literature and cocktail culture.
