Liqueur Base

Liqueur bases provide the sweetness, body and texture needed to finish many homemade liqueurs and schnapps. Different essences require different base types, so always check the flavour bottle or product instructions before choosing—bases labelled A, B, C, cream or schnapps are not automatically interchangeable.

Choosing the correct liqueur base

• General sweetened liqueurs: Pure Distilling Sweetened Liqueur Base is a ready-to-use liquid option for compatible recipes.
• Extra body and texture: Choose Pure Distilling Thickener Liqueur Base only where the recipe calls for a thicker finish.
• Liqueurs and schnapps: Essencia EziBase Liqueur & Schnapps Mix offers a convenient liquid base for compatible Essencia recipes.
• Cream and schnapps bases: Use Still Spirits Top Shelf Cream Liqueur Base or Still Spirits Top Shelf Schnapps Base when that exact base style is specified.

For Still Spirits recipes that call for Red Liqueur Base A, B or C, match the letter on the essence instructions exactly. Measure carefully and follow the full preparation method for the best consistency and finished volume.
