History

Inspired by a 17th-century liqueur made for Louis XIV at Château de Chambord. The modern version was created in 1982 with an ornate bottle designed after an orb from the French crown jewels.

How it’s made

Made from black and red raspberries, blackcurrants, Madagascar vanilla, Moroccan citrus peel, honey, and cognac. The berries are steeped in French spirits before blending with other flavors. The rich purple color is natural.
