Gabriel Boudier Chipotle Liqueur

Gabriel Boudier Chipotle Liqueur is a smoky chilli liqueur from Gabriel Boudier, the family house founded in Dijon, France in 1874, bottled at 15% ABV (30 proof) in a 700mL bottle. The latest addition to Boudier's Bartender range infuses chipotle peppers — the dried, smoked form of the jalapeno, originally from Mexico — with grey and Kampot peppers, raisins, nutmeg and ginger, for deep smoke and slow-building heat held in refined French balance. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Smoke and Spice, the Dijon Way

Boudier built its name on fruit cremes, but its Bartender range exists to push flavour boundaries for mixologists — and this release, created as the house continues to explore bold new profiles, is its most adventurous yet. The chipotle brings woodsmoke and warmth, the Kampot and grey peppers add aromatic lift, and raisins, nutmeg and ginger round the heat with dark sweetness and spice.

Tasting Notes

Smoked chilli, cocoa and warm spice on the nose. It opens with intense, spicy heat on the palate, layering dark chocolate, roasted pepper and caramelised sweetness, before a finish marked by a slight sweetness that softens the pepper's vibrancy — warmth that builds slowly and never overwhelms.

How to Enjoy

Boudier's own suggested serve is a Spicy Margarita with blanco tequila and fresh lime, and it shines just as brightly in smoky tequila and mezcal cocktails, spiked Bloody Marys, and even culinary sauces. Stock the rest of the serve from our cocktail ingredients and rum shelves.
