Caballero Spiced Orange Liqueur

Caballero Spiced Orange Liqueur is made in Spain by Luis Caballero, a fruit liqueur that sets the fresh fruitiness of oranges against a blend of herbs and warming spices. It sits at 25%, balanced between sweetness, fruit and spice, with the orange leading and cinnamon, clove and a touch of vanilla giving it a savoury edge. In the traditional macerated orange style, the peel carries the aroma while the spice adds depth.

The nose is intense orange with spicy cinnamon and clove and a hint of vanilla, and the palate is fruity and spicy at once, sweet orange meeting fine spice and a light herbal note, the sweetness held by a pleasant warmth. Behind the bar that spice is the point: where a clean triple sec lifts and brightens, this adds orange with a warm spiced backbone, so it carries a spiced orange spritz with sparkling wine or tonic, deepens stirred and dark spirit drinks, and warms a winter cocktail. Pour it over ice to show its full intensity, and serve it cool.
