Cartron Elderflower - Sureau Liqueur

Since antiquity, the medieval virtues of Elderflower were widely recognized in the Westernworld then in the East where the plant was used both for its dark berries, its leaves and even its bark.

No doubt the flowers are the most aromatic part of the plant and they enter into the composition of the extract used to create the Joseph Cartron Liqueur. Selected in Austria and Hungary where the quality of their production is optimum, their scented flowers confer their fruity and ageably tart notes to the liqueur, as well as their fresh, greddy and delicately floral character.

Creation

When in contact with the freshly picked Elderberry flowers, the water absorbs their delicate perfume. The infusion obtained is then racked. Crystalized sugar is added before heating the mixture in order to obtain, by the natural evaporation of the water, a very aromatic concentrate. To this extract is added pure alcohol in specific proportions. Finally, the slow incorporation of the crystallized sugar naturally lowers the alcohol content and develops the Elderflower flavour.

The liqueur is then perfectly well-balanced and reveals all its amplitude. Joseph Cartron's know-how can the boost innovation so that this liqueur comes into top position to concoct most original cocktails.
