INDUSTRY REWARDS SITE News, giveaways, competitions and a thriving hpnotiq of passionate likeminded people. Hpnotiq is a popular blue liqueur made of vodka, cognac, and tropical fruits.

Freelance writer and cocktail book author Colleen Graham is a seasoned mixologist who loves sharing her knowledge of spirits and passion for preparing drinks. What Is Hpnotiq Liqueur Made From? Hpnotiq scaled to the top of the premium liqueur market shortly after its release in 2001. It is a staple in many bars and, aside from blue curaçao, one of the primary ways to make blue drinks. Hpnotiq is like many liqueurs, and the recipe is a well-kept secret. However, this brand does reveal a little bit about how it’s made. Hpnotiq’s tropical fruit juices are unknown.

Some people try to speculate, and you will taste fruits like mango and passion fruit. The brand, however, has not formally acknowledged which fruits go into the blend, only that the juices are naturally derived from a maceration of real fruit. What gives the Hpnotiq its color? The brand says that this is one mystery they will never reveal. According to company statements, it seems to happen sometime during the maceration process. A blend of five distinct cognacs is used in Hpnotiq. The vodka that goes into Hpnotiq is also made in France.

It is triple-distilled in small batches from grains and uses spring water and charcoal filtration to produce a smooth taste. With the three ingredients ready, the master blender brings them together to create what is found in bottles of Hpnotiq. What Does Hpnotiq Liqueur Taste Like? Hpnotiq has a very bold fruit flavor with a sweet background. You will catch the taste of mango along with some passion fruit and citrus notes. While Hpnotiq is good on its own, it can be too sweet and syrupy straight out of the bottle.

Shake it with ice to give it a little life, and you will have a much better drink. Hpnotiq pairs well with almost any distilled spirit, though it’s best with lighter liquors. It’s excellent with coconut rum and works well with other rums, vodka, and gin. To showcase the liqueur, keep Hpnotiq cocktails simple. For example, a splash of lemon juice with a shot of vodka and Hpnotiq is perfect for an eye-catching martini.
