Monluc Pousse Rapière 70 cl 20 %

At 20% vol., this Light edition is the gentlest of the Pousse Rapière orange-based liqueurs: the recipe was born in 1980, when Château de Monluc adapted its 1963 liqueur into two lighter-strength versions.

The 70 cl bottle is well suited to large gatherings, village fetes and aperitifs that stretch long into the evening.
