A Taste of Easter. Hot Cross Bun Liqueur

A Limited Seasonal Release from Tamborine Mountain Distillery
Easter in Australia is filled with tradition. Warm spices. Toasted fruit. The comforting aroma of freshly baked hot cross buns.
At Tamborine Mountain Distillery, we have captured that nostalgic flavour and transformed it into something entirely new. Introducing our latest limited release, Hot Cross Bun Liqueur.
This is not simply a sweet seasonal spirit. It is a carefully crafted liqueur that honours the depth and complexity of the classic hot cross bun, while delivering a refined and beautifully balanced drinking experience.
A True Hot Cross Bun in a Glass
Our Hot Cross Bun Liqueur is built from the ground up using real spices and botanicals that define this beloved Easter favourite.
- Cinnamon brings warmth and gentle sweetness.
- Clove adds depth and a lingering spice.
- Ginger delivers a vibrant lift and gentle heat.
- Cardamom contributes aromatic complexity.
- Raisins provide natural richness and fruit character.
The result is layered and sophisticated. The first sip reveals soft sweetness and spice. The mid palate opens into rich raisin and tea notes. The finish lingers with warming cinnamon and clove. It is indulgent, yet beautifully balanced.
How to Enjoy Hot Cross Bun Liqueur
Hot Cross Bun Liqueur is a beautifully versatile Easter spirit, perfect for both simple serves and seasonal cocktails.
Serve it over ice for a smooth after-dinner drink, where the gentle spice and fruit notes really shine.
For something warm and comforting, add a splash to chai tea or hot chocolate. Its spiced character also pairs beautifully with desserts. Try it drizzled over vanilla ice cream, or enjoy it alongside chocolate treats and freshly baked hot cross buns.
It also works wonderfully in cocktails. Add a small measure to whisky in an Old Fashioned for a spiced twist, or use it in an Espresso Martini to bring subtle notes of raisin and warm spice.
For a refreshing Easter cocktail, try our seasonal creation, the Hot Cross Fizz. Crisp apple notes highlight the natural raisin richness of the liqueur, while ginger beer lifts the spice for a bright, effervescent finish.
