Q&A
What is Tosolini Myrtil (Bilberry) Liqueur, what does it taste like, and what does it do in cocktails?
Tosolini Myrtil is a bilberry (wild blueberry) liqueur made to capture the deep, forest-berry character of myrtilles. Expect a rich dark-berry aroma, gentle sweetness, and a slightly tannic, jammy edge that can read as “woodland” rather than candy-like. In cocktails it’s typically used as a flavour accent, adding colour and berry depth without needing fresh fruit. It can also soften sharper spirits and round out sour-style drinks.
What’s the most iconic cocktail to make with Tosolini Myrtil (Bilberry) Liqueur?
There isn’t a single universally “iconic” classic cocktail built around Tosolini Myrtil specifically, so it’s best treated as a versatile modifier. A reliable signature serve is a Bilberry Spritz: Myrtil topped with chilled Prosecco and a splash of soda over ice. The result is bright, fruity and lightly bitter-sweet, with a vivid purple hue and an easy aperitif feel. Garnish with lemon peel or a few berries to lift the aroma.
What flavours and ingredients pair well with bilberry liqueur, and why?
Bilberry liqueur pairs beautifully with citrus (lemon, lime, grapefruit) because acidity keeps the berry sweetness fresh and defined. Herbal notes like rosemary, thyme, mint and basil complement bilberry’s woodland character, while spices such as black pepper or a touch of cinnamon add warmth and complexity. It also plays well with gin, vodka, and lightly aged rum, plus sparkling wine for lift. For a richer profile, try it with dark chocolate, coffee, or nutty amaro-style flavours.
How should I use Tosolini Myrtil at home—any serving or storage tips?
Use Tosolini Myrtil in small measures (typically 10–25 ml) to add berry depth without overpowering the base spirit. It shines in sours (with lemon and simple syrup), in highballs with soda, or as a float in a sparkling serve. Store it tightly capped in a cool, dark place; refrigeration isn’t essential but can help preserve freshness once opened. Serve well-chilled, and consider a lemon twist to brighten the aroma.
What can I substitute for Tosolini Myrtil (Bilberry) Liqueur if I don’t have it?
If you can’t get Tosolini Myrtil, a crème de myrtille (bilberry liqueur) is the closest match in flavour and sweetness. Crème de cassis works well too, though it’s more blackcurrant-forward and can taste tangier and more assertive. Blueberry liqueur is another option, usually sweeter and less “wild-berry” in character; adjust with a squeeze of lemon to keep it lively. In a pinch, use a berry syrup plus a little neutral spirit, then balance with citrus.
Is there any background or origin story behind bilberry liqueur that’s useful to know?
Rather than a single fixed origin story, bilberry liqueurs are best understood as part of a broader European tradition of fruit liqueurs made from local berries and enjoyed as aperitifs or digestifs. “Myrtil” refers to bilberries commonly associated with alpine and woodland regions, which helps explain the darker, more earthy berry profile compared with cultivated blueberries. In cocktails, this heritage translates to using it like other fruit liqueurs: as a modifier, a spritz base, or a dessert-style accent. When experimenting, treat it like a concentrated fruit component and build structure with citrus or bubbles.
