Tempus Fugit Creme de Cacao a la Vanille

Tempus Fugit Crème de Cacao à la Vanille is an artisanal chocolate liqueur made in Switzerland using a meticulous infusion of roasted cacao beans and pure Madagascar vanilla. Based on a 19th-century French recipe, this luxurious spirit uses no artificial flavours or colours, resulting in a deeply authentic expression of rich, creamy cacao. It’s a go-to for world-class bartenders and dessert lovers seeking genuine depth and refinement in their liqueurs.

Bouquet
Lush and inviting. Aromas of dark chocolate truffle, vanilla pod, roasted cocoa and a hint of nutmeg. Deep, earthy and dessert-like with a velvety nose.

Palate
Smooth, intense and elegant. Flavours of bittersweet chocolate, cacao nib, vanilla cream and a whisper of baking spice unfold with a rich, creamy texture. The finish is long and balanced, with lingering cocoa and warm vanilla.

Food Pairing
Serve neat, over ice, or in classic cocktails like a Brandy Alexander, Chocolate Old Fashioned or Espresso Martini. Also perfect drizzled over vanilla ice cream, in hot chocolate, or incorporated into cakes, tiramisu or rich ganache.

Cellaring
Best enjoyed within 1–2 years of opening. Store in a cool, dark place and seal tightly after use. No refrigeration required.

Interesting Fact
Unlike many commercial chocolate liqueurs, Tempus Fugit uses real cacao and vanilla—not synthetic flavourings—resulting in a decadent yet refined flavour profile that's won praise from mixologists and chefs worldwide.
