Elderberry Nice: Dark Rum, Cacao and Forest Elderberry Liqueur

Elderberry Nice began with dark clusters of elderberries gathered from the forest nearby, their deep colour and earthy fruitiness calling for something warmer than a traditional vodka infusion. Dark rum became the natural base, bringing caramel and molasses notes that settle comfortably alongside the berries. Muscovado sugar and honey deepen the sweetness, while cacao nibs and a few coffee beans introduce a subtle roasted edge. Vanilla, allspice and cinnamon provide gentle warmth without turning the liqueur overly spicy. The result is dark, fruity and quietly indulgent — a woodland liqueur with a mischievously friendly name.
