Tempus Fugit Creme de Noyaux is a Liqueur from the Tempus Fugit Liqueur brand hailing from America.
What is Tempus Fugit Creme de Noyaux?
Tempus Fugit Creme de Noyaux is a revival of a classic 19th-century liqueur, crafted from the kernels of apricot pits, cherry pits, and bitter almonds. This unique spirit offers a complex, nutty flavor profile with subtle notes of cherry and almond, making it a versatile ingredient in both classic and modern cocktails. Interestingly, the apricot and cherry pits used in Creme de Noyaux contain trace amounts of amygdalin, which can break down into cyanide when consumed in large quantities. However, the distillation process renders the final product completely safe to drink, while still retaining the distinctive flavors derived from these stone fruit kernels.
Why do we love Tempus Fugit Creme de Noyaux?
Cocktail enthusiasts should seek out Tempus Fugit Crème de Noyaux for its authentic, pre-Prohibition flavor profile and natural apricot kernel base. Unlike many modern versions that rely on artificial flavorings, this liqueur uses traditional ingredients and methods to create a rich, complex almond-cherry flavor that elevates classic cocktails like the Pink Squirrel and adds depth to contemporary creations.
How do you drink Tempus Fugit Creme de Noyaux?
Tempus Fugit Creme de Noyaux shines in both classic and contemporary cocktails, particularly those calling for almond flavors or a touch of nutty sweetness. While it's delightful sipped neat as an after-dinner treat, this rosy liqueur truly excels when mixed into cozy winter warmers or refreshing spring aperitifs, and pairs beautifully with desserts featuring stone fruits or dark chocolate.

Tempus Fugit Crème de Noyaux is crafted using a 19th-century French recipe that infuses apricot and cherry pit kernels, bitter almonds, and other botanicals in a base spirit. The resulting infusion is then blended with cane sugar to create a rich, nutty liqueur with subtle notes of cherry and almond, showcasing the unique flavors that can be coaxed from stone fruit pits.
