Tempus Fugit Spirits And Classic Liqueurs

Few spirits were befouled in the name of industrial progress as much as the crème. Originally, these liqueurs had a delicate sweetness and a creamy consistency, owing not to cream but to the addition of sugar. Then they became a much maligned, artificially flavored disaster. Out to restore the reputation crèmes once had, Tempus Fugit has just released versions of Crème de Cacao and Crème de Menthe (each $29 for 750 ml), based on 19th-century recipes and using natural ingredients.
