Description

The Kota Pandan Liqueur 18% vol. 0.7 l is an innovative premium liqueur that focuses on the Southeast Asian plant pandan – often referred to as the “vanilla of the East” in Asia. It is produced in Dijon, France, by the renowned liqueur manufacturer Gabriel Boudier, in close collaboration with the well-known bartender Nico de Soto. The aim of this creation is to make the exotic flavour of pandan leaves accessible in a modern, high-quality liqueur.

It is produced by soaking fresh pandan leaves in neutral grain alcohol for several days. This captures the typical flavours: a fascinating blend of vanilla, almond, butter biscuit and fine grassiness. With an alcohol content of 18% by volume, the Kota Pandan Liqueur is pleasantly mild, yet very rich in flavour. Its complexity makes it an exceptional ingredient in modern mixology and a popular highlight in bars all over the world.

Kota Pandan Liqueur stands for authenticity, exoticism and creativity – a liqueur that bridges the gap between Southeast Asian tradition and modern cocktail culture.

Kota Pandan Liqueur is ideal for pure enjoyment on ice, but shows its true strength in cocktails. Modern drinks such as a Pandan Daiquiri or a Kota Old Fashioned are popular, where it adds an exotic flair to classic recipes. It also provides surprising flavours in a gin and tonic, highball or tropical sour. In culinary terms, it goes perfectly with coconut desserts, rice pudding, fruit salads or chocolate desserts, where its vanilla-almond notes harmonise elegantly.
