Bols Blue 1575 super-premium Blue Curaçao blends historic craftsmanship with modern mixology innovation
Lucas Bols, the world’s oldest distilled spirits brand still in operation, has introduced Bols Blue 1575, a super-premium Blue Curaçao liqueur commemorating the company’s 450th anniversary. This vibrant release reimagines the classic liqueur with a contemporary twist, aiming to inspire a new era of cocktail creativity.
Crafted in Amsterdam, the new Blue Curaçao is based on a century-old recipe featuring distilled orange peels and a botanical spiced rum base. Island-inspired botanicals such as vanilla, grains of paradise, and cardamom contribute to its rich, full-bodied flavor profile. Bottled at 29.5% ABV, the liqueur presents a bold and vibrant taste, ideal for mixologists seeking to explore new horizons in flavor.
“Bols Blue 1575 is a tribute to the original Blue Curaçao Liqueur and a celebration of our 450 years of distilling expertise,” said Monique ten Kortenaar, Master Distiller & Distillery Manager at The Lucas Bols Distillery. “With this release, we honor our heritage while pushing the possibilities of modern mixology forward.”
The liqueur’s electric blue hue and complex flavor profile make it a standout ingredient for contemporary cocktails. Ivar de Lange, Global Education Manager and Master Bartender at Lucas Bols, noted, “With Bols Blue 1575, we’ve involved bartenders in the process and created a unique expression that gives today’s bartenders the tools to reinvent classic blue cocktails with a modern super-premium flavor.”
Bols Blue 1575 will be available in 700ml bottles at a suggested retail price of $35, launching in select U.S. markets in Spring 2025. For more information, visit the official product page.
