Turmeric Root (Dried) for Liqueur Infusions – Flavor & Pairing Tips

Dried turmeric brings a deep earthy aroma, gentle bitterness, and a warm spice backbone that adds both colour and complexity to liqueurs. Its golden pigments tint infusions beautifully, while its flavour supports citrus, honey, ginger, and warming spices. Used lightly, turmeric enhances depth without dominating, creating balanced, mature blends with a subtle herbal edge. It works especially well in rum or vodka infusions for a bright, golden finish.
