Maison Briottet is a family business, founded in 1836. Originally, the family were primarily negociants of Burgundy wine, involved with ageing, blending, bottling and selling the wines. Following the development of the blanc cassis aperitif (white wine with Creme de Cassis), the company progressively focused its activities on producing fruit cremes, liqueurs, brandies and marcs de Bourgogne. Briottet’s liqueurs are acclaimed by the world’s best bartenders to create unique cocktails. The cactus is a plant native to the New World. It is a fatty plant which stores in its tissue reserves of “sap” in order to be able to survive during long periods of drought. As to the prickly pear plant which is a plant native to Mexico it is part of the cactus family. Moreover, it is sometimes known as Indian Fig Opuntia. The fig is a fleshy berry which contains a hundred or so seeds. This fruit is juicy and flavoursome. Taste is soft and delicately sweet. It is endowed with a subtle floral aroma. To conclude, the combination of cactus of hot pepper and of prickly pear results in a delicate and soft liqueur with a hot finish. Above all, you will certainly be surprised by this liqueur!
