Edwards Essences Southern Indulgence is a concentrated spirit flavouring designed to create a smooth bourbon-style whisky liqueur with a subtle hint of apricot.

The rich whisky character is softened by gentle fruit notes, producing an approachable and versatile drink. Enjoy it slowly over ice, serve it with a favourite mixer or use it as the base for bourbon-inspired cocktails.

Each 50ml bottle is mixed with 1.15 litres of vodka or a suitable 38% alcohol base and 320g of white sugar. Once combined, the recipe makes approximately 1.4 litres of finished bourbon-style liqueur.

Smooth Bourbon and Apricot Character

This flavouring creates a balanced liqueur with:

• Smooth bourbon-style whisky notes
• A gentle apricot character
• Rounded sweetness
• Rich aroma
• A soft, easy-drinking finish

The subtle fruit note adds interest without overpowering the whisky-style base, making the finished drink suitable for sipping or mixing.
