Amarula Vanilla Spice Cream Liqueur

A tasty classic made from exotic fruit.

The story of Amarula starts in 1983 when the company bottled the first Spirit from the exotic marula fruit. What the heck is marula, you ask? It’s an exotic fruit not too disimilair to the potato (by the looks) that grows in miombo woodlands mostly in Southern Africa and it tastes velvety and rich with nutty-caramel flavors and a hint of citrus. In 1989, they added cream to the recipe and Amarula hit the shelves. A global success, these guys try to give back as much, launching The Amarula Trust in 2008 to help elephants keep meeting under the marula trees forever.

Launched in 2018, Amarula Vanilla Spice Cream is a flavoured cream liqueur that was made from Madagascan vanilla extract, Nigerian ginger, and the rich, sun-ripened marula fruit. This unique potion won World’s Best Cream Liqueur at the 2020 World Liqueur Awards. There are countless recipes to enjoy this one but Amarula Don Pedro is perhaps the most traditional one, adding the Liqueur to vanilla ice cream and double cream. It’s absolutely mindblowing.
