Inspired by Rujak

Spiced Tamarind liqueur

Bandoeng’22 Spiced Tamarind Liqueur is our contemporary interpretation of tamarind, a distinctive fruit deeply rooted in Southeast Asian cuisine. Inspired by Indonesian rujak, we combine the naturally sweet and sour character of tamarind with Indonesian arrack, cucumber, warming spices and a subtle touch of chili.

The result is a layered liqueur balancing sweet, sour, spicy and savory notes. Juicy and refreshing at first, followed by the rich character of tamarind and a gently warming, spiced finish.

Enjoy it in cocktails, pair it with agave spirits, vodka, gin, rum, or explore its sweet-sour character as an ingredient in food and desserts.

What is Tamarind?

Tamarind is the fruit of the tamarind tree and is known for its distinctive balance of sweet and sour. Inside its brown pods is a rich, sticky pulp with a deep fruity acidity that becomes increasingly complex as the fruit ripens.

Across Southeast Asia, tamarind has been used for generations in drinks, sauces, curries, soups and desserts. In Indonesia, it also plays a role in rujak: a vibrant fruit dish where sweet, sour, spicy and savory flavors come together.

It is exactly this interplay of flavors that inspired Bandoeng’22 Spiced Tamarind Liqueur.
