Cedilla Acai Liqueur

Cedilla Acai Liqueur shines in refreshing cocktails, especially those with a tropical or berry-forward profile, making it perfect for warm summer evenings or as a taste of sunshine during colder months. Its vibrant fruit notes pair wonderfully with light appetizers like fresh goat cheese or prosciutto-wrapped melon, though adventurous drinkers might also enjoy it chilled and sipped neat to fully appreciate its unique flavor profile.

Nose: Fresh berry aromas dominate, with pronounced notes of blueberry and blackberry. Subtle hints of chocolate and coffee emerge, along with a faint earthy undertone reminiscent of damp soil.

Palate: Tart acai berry flavors lead, followed by dark cherry and plum. A gentle sweetness balances the acidity. Subtle notes of vanilla and toasted oak provide depth. The mouthfeel is smooth and slightly syrupy.

Finish: Medium-long finish with lingering berry flavors. A touch of bitterness emerges, similar to dark chocolate or coffee grounds. The sweetness fades, leaving a clean, slightly tannic sensation on the tongue.

Cedilla Acai Liqueur is crafted by macerating fresh acai berries from Brazil's Amazon rainforest in a neutral cane spirit, then blending the infusion with additional acai juice. What's fascinating about the production is that the berries are harvested and processed within 24 hours to capture their peak flavor, resulting in a vibrant, true-to-fruit taste that's rarely found in berry liqueurs.

• Cedilla Açaí Liqueur is made using açaí berries harvested by hand from palm trees in the Amazon rainforest. These berries are so perishable that they must be processed within 24 hours of picking, making the production process a race against time.
• Unlike many fruit liqueurs that use artificial flavorings, Cedilla contains no added sugar. Its sweetness comes entirely from the natural sugars in the açaí berries and the sugarcane-based cachaça used as the base spirit.
• The name "Cedilla" is a playful nod to the diacritical mark (ç) used in Portuguese, the language of Brazil where açaí originates. This tiny hook under the letter 'c' changes its pronunciation, much like how this liqueur transforms cocktails with its unique flavor profile.
