Edmond Briottet Crème de Bergamote is a refined French liqueur crafted from bergamot oranges, the aromatic citrus fruit grown primarily in Italy. Bergamot oranges are the result of crossing a bitter orange variety with a lime variety, creating a fruit with slightly acidic and bitter flesh. Only the zest is used to extract the natural essential oil that gives this liqueur its distinctive character, the same oil used in renowned Earl Grey tea and traditional French bergamote de Nancy sweets. Why You'll Love It This is French liqueur craftsmanship at its finest. Edmond Briottet, established in 1836, is renowned for producing exceptional fruit liqueurs using traditional methods and natural ingredients. The acidic characteristic of bergamot essential oil gives this liqueur a fresh, somewhat lemony taste balanced by a more spicy, smooth note. It's perfect for adding sophisticated citrus complexity to cocktails or enjoying as a digestif. Production Crafted by Edmond Briottet in Dijon, France, using traditional methods passed down through generations. Only the zest of bergamot oranges is used to extract the natural essential oil, which is then carefully blended to create a liqueur that captures the fruit's distinctive aromatic character. The result is a balanced expression with fresh citrus and subtle spice. Tasting Notes Bright and aromatic with fresh bergamot orange, lemon zest, and subtle bitter orange notes. The palate is fresh and citrus-forward with a slightly acidic, lemony character balanced by spicy, smooth undertones. The finish is clean and refreshing with lingering bergamot and gentle sweetness. Perfect Serve Excellent in cocktails, adding sophisticated citrus complexity to gin-based drinks, spritzes, or champagne cocktails. Also delicious served chilled as a digestif, mixed with tonic water, or drizzled over desserts and ice cream.
