Mariposa Liqueur

Mariposa Liqueur is made by Heaven Hill Distilleries in Bardstown, Kentucky (famous as producers of Evan Williams and Elijah Craig Bourbons). It is a liqueur made by blending the finest agave nectar with 100% agave tequila and premium vodka and is bottled at 30% Abv. Agave nectar is a by-product of the Tequila production process and the concentrated sugars produce an earthier sweetness and lightly viscous sweetener than honey – indeed many people use agave syrup as a natural sweetener.

Mariposa is a Spanish word meaning “butterfly” and Mariposa Liqueur celebrates the Monarch Butterfly that is native to the tequila producing areas of Mexico. As well as agave nectar, agave tequila and premium vodka, Mariposa is also enriched with hints of rose oil and gardenia which creates extra layers of complex flavours and aromas. Ideal as a subsititute for sugar syrup in cocktails.
