The story behind it

The maker

Tempus Fugit Spirits was founded in California by Peter Schaf and John Troia, dedicated to recreating rare, lost historic spirits and liqueurs. They work with traditional European distilleries to source raw botanicals and recreate recipes from the Golden Age of cocktails.

How it is made

This exceptional botanical liqueur is crafted in micro-batches in Switzerland following a historic mid-19th-century French recipe. By sourcing real alpine violet blossoms, the producer craft lab revives a forgotten level of historical distilling purity.
