Leicester bartender Xander Driver created a turmeric-flavored liqueur that won Gabriel Boudier's 2023 Wizard Award Competition, and this prize-winning concoction has now been added to the Gabriel Boudier range.
Some of the inventive cocktails that can be made with the turmeric-flavored liqueur include the Sunshine Highball with ginger ale and a slice of fresh ginger or turmeric to garnish, or East is East with Gabriel Boudier Saffron Gin, passionfruit puree, natural yogurt and aquafaba. These cocktails are rich in flavor and turmeric's recognizable yellow hue.
Turmeric Liqueur joins other innovatively flavored winning recipes like Kaffir Lime Leaf, Mustard Liqueur and Nori Seaweed Liqueur. To accompany the launch of this new liqueur, spirits distributor Emporia Brands officially opened registrations for the 2024 Gabriel Boudier Wizard Award Competition.
