Tempus Fugit Spirits exists to bring back liqueurs and aperitifs that vanished from the back bar. John Troia and Peter Schaf, California drinks historians, founded it in 2006 and build each product from archival recipes instead of modern flavorings: the Crème de Cacao is based on a 19th-century recipe cross-referenced in English and French sources, the Crème de Banane follows an 1884 French formula, and Gran Classico Bitter revives an 1860s "Italian Bitter of Turin" recipe Swiss distiller E. Luginbühl bought in 1925. The Liqueur de Violettes is made in micro-batches by Swiss distiller Oliver Matter from Côte d'Azur violets, and Vieux Pontarlier Absinthe is distilled in Pontarlier, France, from Chardonnay grape spirit and pre-ban logbooks.
