Fenugreek Seeds for Liqueur Infusions – Flavor & Pairing Tips

Fenugreek seeds bring a warm, gently bitter character with a natural maple-like aroma that adds unique depth to liqueurs. Their earthy sweetness balances stronger spices while contributing herbal richness and complexity. When infused lightly, they create a smooth, rounded background note that enhances fruit, spice, or nut-based liqueurs. Used sparingly, fenugreek introduces warmth, intrigue, and a softly aromatic backbone to any blend.
