Their goal is to source and recreate rare spirits and liqueurs from the pages of history in order to satisfy the demands of the most discerning connoisseur. Along with the world's finest absinthes, Tempus Fugit has pursued a goal of seeking out fine and rare liquors that were once staples in classic pre-Prohibition cocktails, but which have since been lost over time. In most cases, Tempus Fugit has been able to recreate these liqueurs in-house using historic 19th-century recipes, many cross-referenced in several languages, to arrive as close in taste to these forgotten spirits as is possible, or even surpass them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's known that these liqueurs were created in the past to be drunk alone, as aperitifs or digestifs, and were made with great pride and care by the best distilleries and liquorists. Tempus Fugit follows in their noble steps, and it is with great pride that they bring the \"Spirit of History\" to the modern cocktail enthusiast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tempusfugitspirits.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Tempus Fugit Spirits Website\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eTempus Fugit Spirits Website\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"tempus-fugit-creme-de-cacao","title":"Tempus Fugit Crème de Cacao","description":"\u003cp\u003eTempus Fugit Spirits Crème de Cacao is based on a 19th-century recipe, cross-referenced in English and French. Terroir is important for ingredients, and the original source of cacao for the best Crème de Cacao was cacao from Venezuela while the best source of vanilla was from Mexico, so it was important that these two ingredients be specifically sourced to reproduce the best quality of Crème de Cacao. The raw cacao is distilled and the distillate is then macerated with additional cacao and crushed whole vanilla bean. The process not only gives a depth of character, but also naturally colours the Crème de Cacao a medium brown. Unctuous, syrupy thick, light molasses brown color. Off the charts sweetness and beaniness, with unequal amounts of cacao (two-thirds) and vanilla (one-third) fragrances in the opening whiffs; the powdered cocoa comes to the forefront in the second inhalations, lusciously so. Amazingly cocoa-like and buttery at entry; mid-palate is spot-on dark chocolate-like, but neither bitter nor semisweet; it's just flat-out sweet. The suggestions are to either throw in a splash of soda water for a digestif or utilise this gummy liqueur in cocktails that call for crème de cacao.[#intro]\"The best I've tasted, period.\" - F.
