What is creme de mure?

Creme de mure is another name for blackberry liqueur. Blackberry liqueur is an alcoholic beverage and drink mixer that is 18 percent alcohol by volume, or 36 proof.

Creme de mure is an ideal drink mixer, because it has flavor notes of being both sweet and tart on a person's palate. It has a dark, red color and a rich, blackberry scent that also enhances the liqueur's drinkability.

Creme de mure pairs especially well with mild spirits, such as vodka. There are a number of mixed drinks that can be made using both vodka and creme de mure, such as a bramble, diablo or sangria.
