Looking for recipe for "Forbidden Fruit" liqueur.?
Forbidden Fruit was a liqueur made by Jacquins, but was apparently discontinued several years ago. It was brandy (cognac) based, orange and grapefruit flavored, and contained honey. The original grapefruit was pomelo(shaddock).
Anyone have any ideas on making a substitute for the real thing; using store bought brandy or cognac, of course?
Hi Every V,
Here's what I found on the Forbidden Fruit-doesn't probably help maybe you could try some of the concotions to see what comes close.
Description
Defunct proprietary American brandy-based shaddock (pummelo) liqueur, light amber & sweetened with honey, created by Louis Bustanoby and once manufactured by Charles Jacquin et Cie. Beware, the final incarnation of this liqueur which was produced was with an entirely different base, flavor, and formula. The difference between the two types can be told by the type of bottle the liqueur appears in. The original version was in an orb of the type Chambord appears in today, the latter version, in a generic Jacquin bottle. The former had a light pleasant honey/citrus character, the latter is more reminiscent of pancake syrup. The earlier formulation was once highly regarded, in its own right and as a cocktail constituent.
Flavor
citrus, brandy and honey
