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 most common appears to be a curaçao base, flavoured with rose petals, vanilla and almonds. Another form, attributable to the United States, uses a spirit as its base, and is flavoured with lemon, coriander and sugar. Another form of the liqueur is distilled from violets.[1]
Parfait d'Amour is primarily produced and sold in France and the Netherlands, although it is known to be available in the United States and Australia.
Two known producers of Parfait d'Amour are Marie Brizzard and Bol's. Note that Marie Brizzard markets their version as "Parfait Amour".
