Creme De Noyaux is a
Cordial (or
Liqueur) that remains fairly
unheard of for the
simple fact that it is
illegal in most states by their respective
Liquor Control Commision. It has been rumoured that many
LCCs were not making
enough money off this drink as very little is needed (normally 0.5
oz per drink) in any of the drinks that require it. It is normally around 45
proof (22.5
% alcohol),
almond in
flavor and usually made with
peach or
apricot pits. Perhaps one of the reasons for its
initial popularity is the fact that a very
small amount of this liquid can turn an entire drink very
red. You will find
Creme De Noyaux in the following
drinks:
Due to the rarity of finding this liquer, many people substitue
Amaretto (sometimes topped with
Grenadine to
compensate for the color and
sweet taste) for
Creme De Noyaux.
