Bergamot Liqueur – Nusbaumer

The Nusbaumer bergamot liqueur is an Alsatian citrus liqueur, fresh and gently bitter. Serve it chilled as a digestif, topped up with tonic or in a spritz.

The Nusbaumer distillery

Founded in 1947 by Joseph Nusbaumer in Steige, in the Val de Villé, the family distillery was taken over in 1996 by his daughter, Marianne Wilm. It makes eaux-de-vie, fruit and herb liqueurs, gins and aquavits with Vosges spring water, and has held the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label since 2019.

The Nusbaumer bergamot liqueur

A first maceration of fresh fruit, eight days in a neutral spirit, is distilled in a still. The distillate then serves as the base for a ten-day infusion of bergamot peel, before adjustment with sugar syrup, reduction with Steige spring water and cold filtration. The liqueur is bottled at 20% ABV in 70 cl.

Tasting notes

The nose is highly aromatic, dominated by lemon. The palate is lightly bitter and spicy, on lemon and orange. The finish is complex and lingering.

Serving and recipe ideas

Serve it neat, chilled or over ice as a digestif, in a cocktail with tonic or in a spritz. It also flavours a crème brûlée or a citrus ice cream.
