How it is made
Crème de noyau is typically made by steeping the kernels of stone fruits in alcohol, which extracts their flavors. Sugar is then added to create a sweet, syrupy liqueur. The process can vary slightly depending on the producer, but the essence remains the same.
History
The origins of Crème de noyau can be traced back to France, where it was traditionally made at home using local stone fruits. Over time, it gained popularity and became commercially produced, particularly in the 19th century, as the demand for flavored liqueurs grew.
In cocktails
Bartenders often use Crème de noyau in cocktails to add a sweet, nutty flavor. It pairs well with cream, chocolate, and fruit flavors, making it a popular choice for dessert cocktails. When serving, it can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as part of a mixed drink.
Worth knowing
Crème de noyau is sometimes referred to as 'nuclear cream' due to its rich, creamy texture and potent flavor.
