Purple Cow Saskatoon Berry Cream Liquor

By Hansen Distillery | Made in Edmonton

Simple in approach and delicious in execution, Hansen’s Purple Cow Saskatoon Berry Cream Liquor is one of the Edmonton craft distillery’s top sellers, and for good reason. The creamy liqueur lists only three ingredients — Hansen’s Barn Owl Gold Vodka, fresh squeezed Edmonton-area Saskatoon berries and a cream base. Sweet but not cloying, the resulting pastel-purple elixir is worthy of sipping on its own or adding to a cocktail. Serve it on ice, in chai tea or poured over vanilla ice cream to kick dessert up a notch.

$33.50 per 750 ml
