Combier Liqueur d'Orange

Combier Liqueur d'Orange - Roi Rene Rouge
The Original "Triple Sec"

Nearly 175 years ago in the heart of France's historic Loire Valley, confectioners Jean-Baptiste Combier and his wife created a new liqueur with truly original flavors. Made with all-natural ingredients and triple distilled, Combier Liqueur d'Orange is the original "triple sec."

Roi René Rouge

In 1632 the Reverend Mother Gautron of the Benedictine Abbey of Saumur, France, created a popular liqueur that was enjoyed in the court of King Louis XIV.

Roi René Rouge is still produced in the same tradition as it was nearly 400 years ago. Made from two types of hand-picked cherries, one bitter, one sweet, it is mild cherry liqueur with perfectly balanced flavor.

Andres Sanchez of Positano Coast Restaurant in Philadelphia has created the "Emboldened Cherry Blossom," a cocktail that incorporates both of these fine French liqueurs with contemporary style.
