Amarula Cream originates from Southern Africa where the marula fruit grows wild on the Savannah. The Marula tree produces an abundant crop of pale yellow egg shaped fruit and plays a unique role in tribal legend. It is also known as “The Marriage Tree” - to this day tribal weddings take place beneath its branches and the fruit is believed to have aphrodisiac properties as well as featuring in African fertility rites. The marula fruit attracts many animals – especially elephants. To produce Amarula Cream Liqueur, the marula fruit is gathered and the flesh pulped, sweetened and fermented. The resulting “marula spirit” is then matured in oak casks for 2 years. The spirit is then blended with fresh cream to create a smooth distinctive cream liqueur.

Amarula Cream originates from Southern Africa where the marula fruit

grows wild on the Savannah. The Marula tree produces an abundant

crop of pale yellow egg shaped fruit and plays a unique role in tribal

legend. It is also known as “The Marriage Tree” - to this day tribal

weddings take place beneath its branches and the fruit is believed to have

aphrodisiac properties as well as featuring in African fertility rites.

The marula fruit attracts many animals – especially elephants.

To produce Amarula Cream Liqueur, the marula fruit is gathered and

the flesh pulped, sweetened and fermented. The resulting “marula spirit”

is then matured in oak casks for 2 years. The spirit is then blended with

fresh cream to create a smooth distinctive cream liqueur.

* Blind bake means to bake a pie crust without a filling. There are several techniques used to ensure that the pie crust holdsit shape when baked empty. Pie weights can be placed in the shell to keep it from puffing. The shell can be lined with foil anddried beans or peas. Pricking the crust with a fork before baking also helps the crust keep it’s shape.

Layering

Looks fantastic, but once you've got the knack is very easy to do. Carefully pour the next layer over the flat end of a bar spoon

resting on the surface of the base spirit. Alternatively pour over the back of a spoon, touching the surface of the drink.

Building

Making a cocktail by adding all the ingredients into the glass, with perhaps a quick stir to serve.

Blending

Place all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth, starting slow and then speeding up.

Shaking

Add the ingredients to your cocktail shaker (or jam jar) with cubed ice and shake briskly for about 10 seconds. Strain and pour

into a glass leaving the ice in the shaker. This is important for chilling and diluting the drink to the right proportion, plus a

fun way to entertain.

Stirring

The best method to retain the strength of the spirits, as in Martinis, is to simply stir gently to avoid chipping the ice.

Straining

Standard shakers have a built-in strainer, but otherwise you will need to strain the drink before serving, to separate the ice

or small fragments of fruit.

Crushing Ice

Either crush the cubed ice in a blender or fill a bag with cubed ice and bash with a rolling pin.
