De Kuyper Raspberry is a vibrant fruit liqueur from the Netherlands, crafted to showcase the juicy, aromatic character of ripe raspberries. At 15% alcohol by volume, it offers a gentle spirit backbone that supports rich fruit flavors without overwhelming the palate.
The liquid presents a clear, jewel-like ruby hue that hints at concentrated berry notes. On the nose, expect an immediate wave of fresh raspberry, with bright red-fruit aromas and a subtle sweetness that feels natural rather than cloying.
On tasting, the profile is fruit-forward and accessible, combining tart raspberry brightness with rounded, soft sugar and a light herbal lift. The texture leans silky, making the liqueur versatile both as a sipper and as a cocktail ingredient.
De Kuyper Raspberry works well across occasions: from fruity aperitifs and lively party cocktails to finishing touches for desserts. Its approachable style makes it easy to mix, layer and pair with complementary flavors.

How to enjoy and pair
Enjoy this raspberry liqueur as a component in cocktails where bright fruit and a moderate ABV are desired.
Pair it with fruity desserts such as berry tarts, panna cotta or chocolate-based sweets where the raspberry adds freshness and acidity.

For aperitif-style serves, combine with soda or tonic and a citrus twist to lift the fruit and add refreshing balance.
