PR Coconut Liqueur Essence 20 ml

PR Coconut Liqueur Essence 20 ml

Anyone who loves coconut truffles, coconut macaroons and chocolate bars with a snowy coconut filling knows exactly which flavour we are talking about. PR Coconut Liqueur Essence is the coconut of the patisserie rather than the beach bar – a pure, soft coconut liqueur with no rum note whatsoever, where nothing else competes for attention.

That makes it a different kind of bottle from the rum-scented coconut liqueurs. Here the character is rounder, milkier and more dessert-like, with a creamy sweetness that sits just as happily in a cup of coffee as in a glass with ice. A liqueur to sip after dinner, or to keep as a secret weapon for when pudding needs that little something extra.

Colour & Appearance

Once mixed, the liqueur is clear and pale with a lightly viscous, almost syrup-soft body. It moves slowly in the glass and leaves distinct legs down the side – a promise of the silky mouthfeel to come.

Nose

The nose is warm and smells of the bakery. Toasted coconut flakes arrive first, followed by coconut milk, melted white chocolate and a pinch of vanilla sugar. There is also a faint nutty note, rather like marzipan, that gives depth to all that sweetness.

Palate

The palate is soft from the very first moment. Coconut milk and grated coconut spread across the tongue, followed by a creamy sweetness reminiscent of white chocolate and condensed milk. With no rum in the picture, the coconut comes through purer and more confectionery-like – think of the filling in a coconut chocolate rather than a tropical cocktail. The sweetness is pronounced but balanced by the warmth of the spirit, and the mouthfeel is round and full.

Finish

The finish is long, silky and sweet. Toasted coconut and vanilla linger for a good while, with a gentle warmth in the chest and a parting wave of white chocolate.

How to Use

The essence is mixed with vodka or neutral spirit plus sugar. 20 ml makes 750 ml of finished liqueur, which is ready to drink straight away. Instructions are on the label.

Serving Suggestions

• On the rocks – simple, cold and silky.
• In coffee or hot chocolate with whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes.
• With milk or cream and ice for a white, creamy dessert drink.
• Alongside chocolate liqueur for the taste of a coconut chocolate bar in a glass.
• Drizzled over vanilla ice cream, fresh pineapple or a chocolate mousse.

About the Essence

Coconut Liqueur belongs to the PR (Prestige) series and is the pure coconut flavour in the range. If you love coconut but would rather do without the rum character, this is the one to choose – and if you want both, there is the sister essence Coconut & Rum. Plenty of people keep the pair at home: one for long drinks with juice, the other for coffee, cream and desserts.

Because the sugar is added separately, you decide for yourself how sweet the liqueur should be. The essence is excellent in baking too – a few drops will lift a coconut cake or an icing. Also available in 280 ml, 1000 ml and 25 litres for those who mix larger batches.
