PR Emerald Cream Liqueur Essence 20 ml

PR Emerald Cream Liqueur Essence 20 ml

There is one bottle that is almost always on the table when coffee is served after a long dinner: the creamy whiskey liqueur. It is neither especially strong nor especially complicated, and that is precisely why it has become one of the world’s best-loved liqueur styles. Emerald Cream Liqueur Essence lets you make it yourself, fresh and exactly when you need it.

The secret lies in the balance. The cream should be rich without being heavy, the whiskey should bring warmth without taking over, and the chocolate should be there as a whisper rather than a shout. Get that right and the result is a liqueur that suits both those who never drink whiskey and those who gladly do.

Colour & Appearance

Once mixed, the liqueur is cream-beige with a warm lean towards café au lait. It is opaque and thick, runs slowly in the glass and leaves a soft film behind it. Over ice it becomes thicker still and takes on an almost ice-cream-like look.

Nose

On the nose, fresh cream meets milk chocolate, with vanilla and butter toffee just behind. The whiskey shows as a mild, malty warmth with a very discreet smokiness – just enough for the liqueur to smell grown-up rather than merely sweet.

Palate

The palate is soft, round and instantly familiar. Cream fills the mouth first, followed by milk chocolate and vanilla custard. Then comes the toffee – smooth cream toffee rather than hard burnt sugar – and finally the malty warmth of the whiskey, which tightens up the sweetness and gives the liqueur a backbone. A little peaty note flits past in the background and makes the whole more interesting. Nothing sticks out; everything hangs together.

Finish

The finish is smooth and warming. Toffee, cocoa and cream linger for a good while, and the whiskey leaves a gentle glow in the chest without the slightest rough edge.

How to Use

The essence is mixed with vodka or neutral spirit – the label states which ingredients are needed besides spirit, including single cream and sugar. 20 ml makes 750 ml of finished cream liqueur. Keep the finished liqueur in the fridge and give the bottle a gentle shake before serving. Instructions are on the label.

Serving Suggestions

• Over a couple of large ice cubes in a tumbler – simple and unbeatable.
• A generous splash in freshly brewed coffee, topped with lightly whipped cream.
• Shaken with coffee liqueur and vodka into a creamy dessert drink.
• Drizzled over vanilla ice cream with chopped roasted nuts.
• In hot chocolate on a cold winter’s evening, ideally with marshmallows.

About the Essence

Emerald Cream belongs to the PR (Prestige) series and has been in the range for a long time – the product was previously sold under a different name, but the flavour is the same. It is among our most sought-after liqueur flavours and makes a welcome gift, especially around Christmas.

The essence is also available as 32 ml in a PET bottle, and in 280 ml, 1000 ml and 25 litres. Because you mix it yourself, the liqueur is always fresh, and you decide how big a batch suits the occasion.
