Found in sub-equatorial Africa, the marula fruit is jam packed with flavour. What doers it taste like? It has a pleasing, sweet-and-sour taste, which has hints of lychee or perhaps of plums.
This helps to cut through the creamy flavour, giving the liqueur a nicely balanced finish perfect for refreshing the palate after a big meal (or simply after a big day of feasting on Easter chocolates).
Best served over ice, Amarula can also be added to hot chocolates for a boozy hit or use the spirits in your Easter baking to give the sweet treats a fruity finish.
