Paramour Lavender-Yuzu Aperitif Liqueur

Paramour Lavender-Yuzu Aperitif Liqueur is new to market, bold on flavor, and low in alcohol at 14% alcohol by volume, the same percentage found in many wines. Chilled or served over ice, Paramour Lavender-Yuzu Aperitif Liqueur is delicious on its own and also works well in a variety of cocktails. We created three great tasting cocktails using Paramour Lavender-Yuzu Aperitif Liqueur, Luxury Experience – Lavender Margarita (with tequila), Luxury Experience – Fuzzy Greyhound (with gin), and Luxury Experience – Lavender Lemonade. Cheers, it’s cocktail time!

About Paramour Lavender-Yuzu Aperitif Liqueur: Founded by Raquel Tavares, a Brazilian born native who now makes California home, her Paramour Aperitif Liqueurs (Lavender-Yuzu, Cara-Cara, and Elderflower) are low in alcohol with no artificial colors or flavors.

Bottle Notes: “Paramour translates directly into “lover.” Whether a secret affair or a bold liaison, our interpretation delivers Paramour as a risk-taker- a lover of life or irresistible passion which compels immediate pursuit. Our colorful array of aperitifs unveils a symphony of botanicals, citrus extracts, subtle bitters, and a modest sweetness from artificial flavors.”
