HPNOTIQ, Copa De Oro, Lazzaroni Amaretto, Dubouchett, Cordials and Liqueurs by Heaven Hill Distilleries

The terms cordial and liqueur are interchangeable, though the former is said to apply more to American products and the latter to European ones. Cordials and liqueurs are made by combining or redistilling various spirits with flavoring materials, which are typically fruits, flowers, herbs, seeds, barks, roots, peels or extracts derived from them. By law, cordials and liqueurs must contain at least 2 ½% sugar by weight, though many contain up to 35% of a sweetening agent.

While many cordials and liqueurs are generic and produced by many different suppliers, such as Triple Sec or Crème de Menthe, several are proprietary brands whose recipes are fiercely guarded. Vandermint and HPNOTIQ are examples of well-known proprietary brands.

	HPNOTIQ, called by NBC-TV in New York the drink of choice of celebrities, has been one of the most successful new brands in the spirits industry. An alluring icy aquamarine marriage of triple-distilled premium vodka, fine Cognac and natural tropical fruit juices, HPNOTIQ has become a must-have for today's more sophisticated consumers. It was prominently seen at the Grammys, Oscars, Country Music Awards and Fashion Week in New York and Los Angeles, where celebrities and musicians enjoyed HPNOTIQ cocktails.
	PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur, the first true pomegranate liqueur, captures the essence of all-natural California pomegranates with their complex, sweet yet tart taste and seductive ruby color. PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur is made from all natural California pomegranate juice, premium vodka and a touch of imported tequila. The California pomegranates are selected at the peak of ripeness and flavor. The pomegranate is the mythical, mystical fruit that has spawned legends.
	Copa De Oro is produced in the southern tip of Mexico from a blend of the finest Arabica coffee beans, vanilla and other exotic flavors. Copa is a very versatile coffee liqueur, excellent in hot or cold drinks, as well as food recipes.
	The full line of traditional liqueurs and cordials are represented under the famed DuBouchett label, as well as newer sour schnapps flavors. Made from the finest 100% natural fruits and flavorings available, DuBouchett is well known for its quality, variety and mixability. DuBouchett also offers a full line of lower proof versions of the most popular flavors.
	Lazzaroni is the first Amaretto created in Italy, with roots that go back to the 1850's. It is the only Amaretto produced from the infusion of the famous Lazzaroni Amaretti de Saronno cookie, which creates a more delicate almond/apricot flavor. Lazzaroni is still produced and bottled in Saronno, Italy according to the original recipe and has won numerous medals and awards for its outstanding quality.
	Hand-crafted in the heart of Ireland's dairy region by Pat O'Mara & Co. of Abbyleix, County Louth, O'Mara's is a high quality Irish Cream that offers a price competitive alternative to the category leader. In fact, at the most recent San Francisco World Spirits Competition, O'Mara's outperformed the leading Irish Cream brand, which sells at a much higher cost.
