Crème de Mûre

Crème de mûre is a sweet, deep purple liqueur made from blackberries, offering rich dark-berry flavour with a jammy sweetness. It is typically used as a float or drizzle rather than a base ingredient. Its colour and fruitiness make it popular for visually layered cocktails.

Storage: keeps well once opened, store upright away from light
