Parfait d'Amour is a liqueur. Purple in colour, it is often used in cocktails primarily for its colour, and is generally created from a Curaçao liqueur base.
Parfait d'Amour appears to have several forms. The House of Lucas Bols in the Netherlands claims to have originated the liqueur. Their version appears to be a curaçao base, flavoured with rose petals, vanilla and almonds. Marie Brizard, a Bordeaux based distiller, has a product with a similar flavor profile. Another form, produced by DeKuyper, uses a spirit as its base, and is flavoured with lemon, coriander and violets.[1]
Availability
Parfait d'Amour is primarily produced and sold in France and the Netherlands, although it is known to be available in the United States, Canada, Australia, Greece, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway.
Parfait d'Amour can not be found in Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Ontario. Some other Canadian provinces do have it listed in their product line, but it is not easy to locate within Canada. Parfair d'Amour can also be found on the island of St. Martin.
