Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Bright, zesty sunshine in a glass makes you smile before you sip: Marie Brizard Yuzu Liqueur opens with a sharp uplift of tart yuzu zest, soft floral blossom, and a whisper of bitter pith that settles into a clean, sugary finish. ABV: 0.16%; country of origin: France. This citrus liqueur is made by infusing yuzu fruit with neutral spirit and balancing with sugar, which keeps the flavor vivid without weighing it down, and it pairs especially well with delicate seafood like sushi or scallops, where its citrus lift brightens raw fish and cuts through creamier textures.

Producer Information: Marie Brizard

Founded in Bordeaux in 1755 by pharmacist Marie Brizard, the house built its reputation on a single aniseed liqueur formula and has since grown into a classic French liqueur producer rooted in southwest France, emphasizing terroir-driven botanical sourcing and traditional maceration and blending techniques. Their production philosophy stresses precise infusion and balance to preserve aromatic clarity, with bottling and quality control housed in regional facilities that reflect Bordeaux’s distilling heritage. Beyond their signature anise-based spirit, the company’s portfolio spans fruit liqueurs, cream liqueurs, cocktail-focused spirits and a wide range of flavored syrups, and they maintain a strong export presence that underscores their category-specific standing in the global liqueur market.
