Cocktails with Alizé

I’ve always been intrigued by the beautifully colorful Alizé bottles on the shelves at the liquor store, so I was excited when they reached out to partner on some delicious cocktails. We actually visited the factory where Alizé is produced, in the Charente region of France, but this was the first time I had the products to play around with and the flavors were absolutely wonderful! The base of each flavor begins with a blend of natural passion fruit and vodka, and from there the different flavors in their portfolio come to life. I ended up mixing drinks with the Red Passion, Bleu Passion, and Pineapple, and each of these adds so much to the passion fruit base and mixes perfectly in cocktails.
