Parfait d'Amour is a liqueur. Purple in colour, it is often used in cocktails primarily for its colour, and is generally created from a Curaçao liqueur base.
Parfait d'Amour appears to have several forms. The most common appears to be a curaçao base, flavoured with rose petals, vanilla and almonds. Another form, attributable to the United States, uses a spirit as its base, and is flavoured with lemon, coriander and sugar. Another form of the liqueur is distilled from violets.[1]
Parfait d'Amour is primarily produced and sold in France and the Netherlands, although it is known to be available in the United States and Australia.
