Combier Liqueur de Pamplemousse Rose

Combier Liqueur de Pamplemousse Rose is a pink grapefruit liqueur from Distillerie Combier in Saumur, the Loire Valley distillery founded in 1834 by Jean-Baptiste Combier, whose triple sec was the first of its kind and whose copper stills still run under a nineteenth-century hall built with engineering from Gustave Eiffel's team. Where most of Combier's fruit liqueurs are macerations of local berries and orchard fruit, this one is built on red grapefruit, and it is the lightest bottle in the range at 16% ABV. The grapefruit is macerated in neutral alcohol for around four months, then sweetened and bottled. The distillery describes the flavour as light and refreshing, emblematic of ripe grapefruit, and the importer suggests it in cocktails, lengthened with soda, or topped with sparkling wine. At that strength it works as a modifier rather than a base: it slots into a Paloma or a tequila sour in place of syrup, or over ice with sparkling white as an aperitif. Combier has been run since 1994 by Franck Choisne, who later bought the house from the Bollinger group, and holds the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant heritage label.
