L'Orangerie Liqueur de Monaco (50cl, 30%)

A bitter orange liqueur from La Distillerie de Monaco, made from the peel of bitter oranges picked by hand in Monaco. It is the first premium spirit made in the principality itself. The harvest runs from January to February. Each fruit is washed and peeled by hand, and the peel is macerated in alcohol for several weeks before a small amount of sugar and other ingredients are added. Annual production is capped at around 50,000 bottles, tied to the number of orange trees in Monaco. It is bright golden orange, with fresh orange peel and candied citrus on the nose. The palate is soft and juicy, with lively zest, gentle bitterness and a clean, natural sweetness. Serve it chilled, over ice or in a Monaco Spritz with Prosecco.
