Tips and tricks to make cocktails with creme de mûre

Adding creme de mûre to cocktails can dramatically improve their flavor and complexity. Here are some tips for making the perfect drinks with this unexpected liqueur: 

  1. Use a sweet-tasting vodka like Grey Goose. Increases the sweetness of the drink while also amplifying the mûre’s fruity flavors. 
  2. Start with a simple cocktail like a Manhattan, but swap out the rye for a sweeter bourbon like Jim Beam. This will add depth of flavor and complexity to the drink.
