Trader Vic's Macadamia Nut Liqueur is a tropical nut liqueur bottled at 26.5% ABV (53 proof).
Vic Bergeron opened the first Trader Vic's restaurant in Oakland, California, in 1934, and with his love of all things tropical and Tiki, travelled the world collecting design elements that reflected that lifestyle.
More than 80 years later, the brand continues his legacy with a line of spirits for those who drink Tiki and enjoy crafting cocktails at home.
Golden amber with copper highlights, it has a buttery, nutty nose, a sweet palate of macadamia and buttery vanilla with a zest of mandarin orange, and a bittersweet, nutty finish.
It is a little bit of escape in every cocktail, and a natural companion to the rums and Tiki mixers on any home bar.

How to Enjoy It
Serve Trader Vic's Macadamia Nut on the rocks, or with a splash of milk and chocolate liqueur for a creamy nightcap. It adds nutty depth to Tiki drinks: try a splash in a Mai Tai or a Piña Colada, or shake it with rum, cream and pineapple for a macadamia colada. Stir it into hot coffee or cocoa, or drizzle it over vanilla ice cream or banana bread. Pair it with macadamia cookies, coconut cake and caramel desserts. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays. Store it upright in a cool, dark place.
