Happy National Liqueur Day! We are celebrating with an Introduction to the Origins of French Liqueurs and some notable “Heavenly” Brands Noces Royales, Arvani, Jules Theuriet, and Jahiot.

French liqueurs have a rich and complex history that reflect the nation’s cultural heritage and artisanal skills. These liqueurs, often crafted from fruits, herbs, and spices, have evolved from medicinal concoctions to celebrated beverages enjoyed around the world. In this article, we’ll explore the origins of French liqueurs and delve into the production processes of notable brands, including Noces Royales by Spiritique, Arvani by Artez, and several liqueur options by Jules Theuriet and Jahiot.

The Origins of French Liqueurs

The history of French liqueurs can be traced back to the Middle Ages when monks began distilling spirits primarily for medicinal purposes. These early liqueurs were created by infusing alcohol with various botanicals, designed to alleviate ailments. Over time, the production of liqueurs transitioned from monasteries to commercial distilleries, particularly in regions known for their agricultural bounty.

By the 18th and 19th centuries, liqueurs gained popularity not just for their therapeutic properties, but also for their exquisite flavors and the enjoyment they brought. Each region in France began to develop its signature liqueurs, leveraging local ingredients and traditional recipes that have often been handed down through generations.

Notable French Liqueurs and Their Production

Noces Royales

Origin and Production: Noces Royales, produced by Spiritique in the Cognac region of France, embodies the elegance and richness of French heritage. This premium liqueur is crafted through a meticulous process that combines Pear au de vie, Pear Williams juice, and Cognac. The ingredients are carefully selected and macerated, allowing the flavors to meld before undergoing distillation. The resulting liqueur is complex and refined. At 30% ABV, it is perfect for sipping chilled or enhancing cocktails. Its name, meaning “royal marriage,” reflects the luxurious blend of Cognac and pear, Louis XIV’s favorite fruit.

Arvani by Artez

Origin and Production: Arvani is a unique vanilla liqueur produced by Artez in the Armagnac region of France, known for its blend of Madagascar vanilla beans and Blanche Armagnac, the former of which give the liqueur its rich brown hue. The hand-crafted production process emphasizes maximum flavor extraction from carefully chosen ingredients that are macerated and distilled. Arvani’s slightly sweet yet aromatic vanilla profile makes it versatile in cocktails, appealing to both mixologists and casual drinkers. At a full 40% ABV, this liqueur captures the spirit of innovation while staying true to traditional methods.

Jules Theuriet Crème de Cassis de Dijon

Origin and Production: Jules Theuriet Crème de Cassis de Dijon hails from Burgundy, a region renowned for its blackcurrants. Production begins with the selection of ripe, high- quality blackcurrants, which are macerated in alcohol to extract their robust flavor. Sugar is then added, creating a rich and sweet liqueur that highlights the fruit’s natural characteristics. Crème de Cassis is a staple in many classic cocktails, such as the Kir Royale, and its deep color and intense flavor make it a beloved choice. All the liqueurs produced by Jules Theuriet, AKA Briottet, are between 18% and 25% ABV.

Jules Theuriet Liqueur de Banane

Origin and Production: Banana liqueur captures the essence of ripe bananas, offering a sweet and tropical flavor. The production involves infusing ripe bananas in neutral alcohol, allowing the flavors to develop and intensify. The result is a versatile liqueur that can be used in a variety of cocktails, particularly those inspired by tropical flavors. Its sweetness and unique profile make it a favorite among cocktail enthusiasts.

Jules Theuriet Crème de Cacao Ambré

Origin and Production: French cacao liqueurs are crafted to deliver rich, chocolatey flavors, perfect for dessert cocktails. The production process typically includes blending cacao beans with alcohol and sweetening the mixture to achieve a balanced taste. These liqueurs vary in intensity, from dark and rich to light and creamy, making them suitable for a range of drinks.

Jules Theuriet Liqueur de Pamplemousse Rose

Origin and Production: Pamplemousse liqueur is made from grapefruit, providing a refreshing and zesty flavor profile. The production process involves macerating grapefruit peels and pulp in alcohol, which extracts the fruit’s bright and tangy essence, reminiscent of a fresh-cut grapefruit, sprinkled with powdered sugar. Jules Theuriet Pamplemousse is celebrated for its versatility, and adding a vibrant and refreshing twist to cocktails. It can also be relied upon when just a splash of citrus is needed but there is none to be found.

Jahiot Crème de Cassis de Saintonge

Origin and Production: Jules Theuriet Crème de Cassis is produced in the Cognac region, where the cassis have an intensity and tartness that differ from those grown in Burgundy. This producer grows all his own fruit so that the fruits can be picked when ideally ripe and quickly taken to the cellars to obtain jammy, complex, and concentrated flavors. Jahiot makes pêche, framboise, and blackberry liqueurs as well.

The Montgomery Cocktail is a dry Martini recipe made with gin.

According to the folks at Cipriani Drinks, the Montgomery is a dry cocktail; it is neither sweet nor bitter, nor yet sour or salty. It is purely and exquisitely dry. This is the secret of a cocktail that has long been part of the history of Harry’s Bar, just like the man who invented it, Mr. Ernest Hemingway.

Gin, Vermouth

The Montgomery

Ingredients

• 3 oz. Gin
• .15 oz. Dry Vermouth
• Lemon rind

Preparation

1. hill a short cylindrical tumbler glass with ice or by placing the glass in the freezer ahead of time, as is customary at Harry’s Bar.
2. In a mixing glass filled with ice, put in a dash of vermouth, and stir.
3. Then add gin to the vermouth.
4. Alternatively, to avoid using ice and to be faithful to the Cipriani Drinks recipe, store the two spirits in the freezer to keep them icy and ready for mixing.
5. Stir gently.
6. Pour drink into a cooled glass, straining out the ice used during mixing.
7. Garnish with a twist of lemon rind.

As the weather gets cooler, our cocktails get warmer.

The Boulevardier is just one of those beverages; the mix of bourbon whiskey, Campari, and vermouth does just the trick when temperatures are chilly to the bone. Whether you’re a Negroni aficionado or whiskey lover, we are giving you the low down on the top ten whiskeys that will slip seamlessly into the classic Boulevardier recipe.

The Classics – The bourbons that will never let you down.

Woodford Reserve

A real go-to, whether at the bar or at home, is Woodford Reserve. This Kentucky Straight Bourbon whiskey has all the flavors you want: honey, vanilla, toffee, and spice. Its slightly lighter body allows it to mingle effortlessly with the other ingredients without stealing center stage, giving your Boulevardier some finesse at an excellent price point.
Old Forester 1870 Original Batch Bourbon

The indomitable character of Old Forester ‘never gets old’ as their slogan goes. But, when you want to switch up your usual bourbon in your Boulevardier, the 1870 Original Batch is waiting for you. It’s a more citrus-forward bourbon, easily complimenting Campari’s bitter orange nature. Its velvety body only adds more enjoyment, leaving a mild but present kick of spice with every sip.

FEW Bourbon

This newcomer to the bourbon community stands out with its unorthodox origins. Made right outside Chicago, it’s not your usual bourbon. However, that doesn’t make it any less great. The recipe carries all the classic traditions of Kentucky Bourbon, with grain from a different, much chillier terroir. The result? An exciting, extra spice-driven rye that adds a much-needed winter twist to your Boulevardier.

Four Roses Single Barrel

Another bourbon staple, Four Roses rarely fails at making a Boulevardier delicious. Their single-barrel bourbon brings elegance to your cocktail without losing any strength. Its fruity and mocha character will love up to the Campari and sweet vermouth, while its high proof will provide the warmth you need to make this signature fall/winter drink.

The Ryes – For those who like a Boulevardier that has a little more sugar, spice, and everything nice.

Rittenhouse

One of the most reliable ryes around, Rittenhouse steps in with the classic rye character and 100 proof you need to concoct the best ‘cozy by the fireplace’ Boulevardier. It’s spicy and toasty, with undertones of candied citrus that play nicely with the strong character of Campari.

Knob Creek Rye

This 100-proof rye is a go-to guy. It’s a full-flavored, rounded rye that is just as soft and sweet as it is spicy, lending a nice balance to your Boulevardier. But, if you’re looking to change up your usual recipe, try Knob Creek Smoked Maple Rye, adding a kick of hickory you didn’t know you needed.

The Beverly High Rye

Looking to elevate your Boulevardier? The small batch barrel-strength rye comes in strong, literally. At 116 proof, this expertly crafted whiskey shines with its meticulous blending, yielding a rye that’s as delectable as the butteriest holiday dessert. Its sweet spice and nuttiness bring the mountain chalet, ‘chestnuts roasting on an open fire’ vibes straight to your bar.

The Other Guys – A mix of other, out-of-the-box whiskies to shake up your Boulevardier recipe.

Monkey Shoulder Scotch Whisky

The malt flavors of this Scotch whiskey were born for mixing. It slips in sneakily to bolder drinks like a Boulevardier, without disjointing the other intense ingredients. When mixed just right, Monkey Shoulder’s warm vanilla honey flavors add a sweet touch to your Boulevardier recipe.

Redbreast Tawny Port Cask Edition

We aren’t sure if you’re ready for an Irish Boulevardier. With Redbreast’s latest Tawny Pork Cask Edition release, you’re in for a new sultry winter cocktail. This whiskey’s charming buttery, almost salted caramel flavors may seem a little daring, yet, they do magic in a Boulevardier, creating a cocktail you want to sip when those temperatures really dip.

Great Jones Straight Rye

For those looking for something really new to try, Great Jones lends a cosmopolitan air to your Boulevardier. This may be a bourbon, but it was born in the Big Apple, made with 100% New York State-grown grains. Its velvety vanilla flavors are complimented by an exciting balance of white and black pepper, all of which turn your Boulevardier into an exciting dance of the senses.

Paint the Town Mango Cocktail Competition

Mango Shotta, mango and jalapeño flavored tequila, spices things up at Tales.

After an exciting journey of creativity and competition, the winner of the Paint the Town Mango Cocktail Competition hosted by Mango Shotta and Chilled Media was crowned. Angela Wood with her winning cocktail I Shotta the Sheriff and winning shooter, Sizzle and Spice spiced out the competition during a live event at this year’s Tales of the Cocktail in NOLA.

We ask Angela to discuss the creative process behind her I Shotta the Sheriff cocktail.

Can you tell us a bit about the inspiration behind your winning cocktails?

I Shotta the Sheriff, is all about combining classic flavors with a modern twist. My inspiration is from the timeless elegance of a New Orleans style cocktail, but I wanted to create something that could stand out against the current trends and flavors. The cocktail was inspired by the rich history of New Orleans, a city famed for its vibrant cocktail culture and the classic Sazerac cocktail. By adding Sazerac Rye, the drink pays homage to the traditional Sazerac, while Mango Shotta introduces a contemporary twist, infusing the drink with a tropical, exotic flair that contrasts beautifully with the whiskey’s spiciness. The idea was to create a cocktail that honors traditional sophistication while incorporating fresh, innovative elements. It’s a blend of old and new, coming together with the aim of delivering a balanced and memorable drinking experience.

What was your creative process like in developing your cocktail? Did you face any challenges?

The creative process for me often starts with a concept or theme. In the case of a cocktail featuring Mango Shotta, it was important to me to find out where this product has history, and it being a Sazerac product out of New Orleans provided a solid foundation for creativity.  That’s exactly when I knew I would be creating my cocktail with both ingredients.

One of the main challenges was to achieve a balanced flavor profile. Too much mango might overpower the rye, while too little might make the cocktail too harsh, and I would lose the profile of the featured ingredient. So, the key was to adjust quantities and introduce additional elements like citrus, amaro, and Luxardo to refine the balance while still following the requirements of the competition. In the end, I was surprised at how well it all went together, and I genuinely LOVE my cocktail.

How did you incorporate Mango Shotta into your cocktail in an innovative way?

The cocktail combines the traditional spiciness of rye whiskey with tropical mango and jalapeño, an unexpected pairing that creates a complex taste experience. The addition of lemon juice and amaro bridges the gap between the sweet mango and the bold rye, while Luxardo adds an extra layer of sophistication. Creating a blended cocktail with a mango-jalapeno tequila, and a robust rye was innovative, in my opinion.

What advice can you give aspiring bartenders who would like to enter cocktail competitions?

It is extremely important to read the competition guidelines carefully and to understand the theme, ingredient restrictions, time limits, and judging criteria. Craft a compelling story or concept behind your cocktail. This helps engage judges and makes your entry memorable. Be clear and confident when presenting. Explain the inspiration, ingredients, and preparation method. Also, show enthusiasm for your creation. Passion and knowledge can make a strong impression. Practice making your cocktail multiple times to ensure consistency in taste, presentation, and technique before creating it live in front of the panel. Focus on the visual appeal of your drink. The right glassware, garnish, and pouring technique can make a significant difference.

Choose garnishes that complement the cocktail and enhance its visual appeal. Think about color, texture, and how they fit with the overall theme. Stay updated on cocktail trends, techniques, and new ingredients. Don’t be afraid to experiment and push boundaries! Innovation often comes from trying new things and taking creative risks. But make sure it makes sense. Everything must have a cohesive place from beginning to end. And be ready to explain that so that your judges can understand and experience your vision clearly and nothing is lost in translation.

How will winning this competition impact your career?

Winning a competition brings recognition from peers, industry leaders, and the media. It positions you as a standout talent in the bartending world and can significantly impact your career by enhancing your visibility, credibility, and opportunities within the industry. It provides a platform to advance your professional journey, expand your network, and pursue new and exciting career paths. With that being said, I am ready for these opportunities!

Share a memorable moment during the competition that stood out to you.

One particularly memorable moment from a cocktail competition that stands out to me was the moment I saw the judges’ reactions to my final presentation. After weeks of preparation, the day of the competition arrived. The venue was buzzing with energy as the four other bartenders from around the nation showcased their creations. I had carefully crafted my cocktail, with a story that tied together the traditional and the modern.  When it was finally my turn, I stepped up to the presentation area, heart racing with a mix of excitement and nerves.

As I prepared the cocktail, I could feel the eyes of the judges on me, observing every move. As I finished making the drink and placed it in front of the judges, I took a deep breath and began to explain the inspiration behind the cocktail. I shared the story of how I wanted to blend the classic spirit of New Orleans with a modern twist using Mango Shotta and blending it with Sazerac Rye and my other ingredients to create a fusion of history. One that has been long, and one that has just begun, to create a cocktail that can be served and respected beside its predecessors.

The most memorable part was the judges’ reaction as they took their first sips. Their eyes lit up with surprise and delight. One judge commented on the perfect balance. Another noted how the Luxardo added a subtle layer that tied everything together beautifully. Seeing their positive reactions and hearing their compliments was incredibly gratifying. It encapsulated all the hard work and creativity that went into preparing for the competition. It was a validation of the effort, experimentation, and passion that had gone into crafting the cocktail. That connection with the judges, where they appreciated and enjoyed the cocktail, made all the preparation and anticipation worth it.

What will you take away from this experience?

Winning the Mango Shotta cocktail competition at the Tales event in New Orleans, has been a transformative experience for me. It’s a validation of my skills and creativity, showing that my unique approach to mixology resonates with industry experts. This win not only boosts my confidence but will also open exciting opportunities for collaborations and future events. The competition also provided invaluable networking opportunities, allowing me to connect with influential leaders who can contribute to my continued growth.

On a personal level, it has been a journey of getting to know myself, revealing strengths I hadn’t fully realized and teaching me resilience under pressure. This victory gives me a platform to influence and inspire others, whether through mentorship, sharing my story, or advocating for important causes. Additionally, being part of such a high-caliber event has exposed me to new ideas and trends, fueling my creativity and inspiring future innovations in my craft. I am so grateful for Chilled Magazine. This is my second national competition win and I never knew how much opportunity was out there until I joined this community.

Passionate entrepreneur and philanthropist John Paul DeJoria, the self-made billionaire and founder of Patrón Tequila and Paul Mitchell hair care, has announced the purchase of Waterloo Gin, the first gin brand distilled in Texas.

Developed by Treaty Oak Distilling in Dripping Springs, Texas, near Austin, Waterloo Gin was launched in 2009, named after Austin’s original name – Waterloo – before the city was rechristened in the 1830s for Texas pioneer Stephen F. Austin.

Waterloo Gin is celebrated for its outstanding quality, craftsmanship, and distinctive flavor profile that beautifully reflects the Texas Hill Country. The brand’s flagship, Waterloo No. 9 Gin (94 proof), is crafted in the New American style, using nine locally sourced botanicals, including lavender, grapefruit, and pecan. The other offering in the Waterloo lineup, Waterloo Antique Gin (also 94 proof), is aged for two years in first-use medium char American white oak barrels, maturing under the Texas sun to develop rich wood flavors that enhance the herbal notes of the original Waterloo No. 9. Both varieties of Waterloo Gin are naturally free of gluten, carbs, and additives.

“Waterloo is an extraordinarily high-quality, innovative and world-class spirit, a gin I’m certain that people will enjoy,” says DeJoria, who founded Patrón Tequila in 1989 and built it into a $5.1 billion business when it was sold to Bacardi in 2018.

“I’m very honored for the opportunity to help grow this incredible brand, and share Waterloo Gin with more bartenders, retailers, and consumers all across the country.”

The company will be led by CEO Justin Meigs, who was previously an original member of the Empress Gin executive team that launched and grew the brand to over 260,000 annual case sales in 5 years, prior to the company’s exit in 2022.

“I’m incredibly excited about this new chapter for the Waterloo brand, now in the capable hands of John Paul DeJoria and his talented team of spirits industry veterans,” says Daniel Barnes, the founder of Waterloo Gin at Treaty Oak.

“Their deep industry experience and passion for cultivating and growing brands gives me great confidence that Waterloo Gin will continue to flourish and reach new consumers everywhere.”

Though the recipe, production process, and brand name for Waterloo Gin will not change, the brand packaging and imagery will undergo a comprehensive refresh, with expanded national distribution, early next year. Currently, Waterloo Gin is available through Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC) in Texas and Breakthru Beverage in Florida. Additionally, customers in other states can purchase Waterloo Gin online at www.waterloogin.com/shop-gin.

“So of course I love to host dinner parties where we enjoy great food, cocktails and celebrate pop culture by creating a space where everyone can just be themselves. My drink of choice is a Dirty Vodka Martini, so it’s been so fun partnering with Absolut to create a special WICKED-themed green twist on my go-to martini with edible green glitter. It’s part of the kit and will be at my next dinner party so don’t be shy and give the Absolut Wickedly Dirty Martini a try!”
