Looking for something new to sip on this holiday season? LS Cream Liqueur is a ready-to-drink libation inspired Haitian drink ‘cremas’ and rooted in a family recipe.
This tasty beverage is inspired by cremas, a sweet ancestral recipe native to Haiti and handed down from generation to generation. If you aren’t familiar, akin to eggnog, cremas is drunk year-round but particularly during the holiday season amongst friends and family.
While every family has their own variation of a cremas recipe, LS captures the taste of the co-founder’s late grandmother’s handwritten recipe which she had left behind in a Ziploc bag and that the family cherished for decades.
LS is a blend of rich cream and neutral grain spirits mixed with coconut, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg. It’s delicious over ice, paired with another spirit, or mixed up in a cocktail, like the sweet with heat Spicy LS Coco or the LSpresso, perfect for after a holiday dinner or to sip by the fireplace.
