• Triple Sec – An 80-proof, clean citrus liqueur that delivers  lift in cocktails where orange liqueur plays a structural role, such as a Cosmopolitan and a White Lady.
  
  
• Amaro – A 70-proof, herbal liqueur that supports bitterness and botanical depth in cocktails, such as a Paper Plane and an Amaro Negroni.
  
  
• Elderflower – A 40-proof light, floral liqueur that keeps cocktails light and refreshing, such as a Spritz and a French 75
  
  
• Coffee – A 34-proof rich, dark liqueur that delivers a smooth and rounded balance to after-dinner cocktails, such as an Espresso Martini and an Irish Coffee.
  
  
• Aperitivo – A 25-proof bright, bittersweet liqueur that delivers a refreshing foundation for cocktails suited for casual sipping, such as a Spritz and a Paloma.
