Upenu Liqueur is a unique alcoholic beverage made from blackcurrants. It is made from the fruits of the blackcurrant bush, which are harvested from the wild or cultivated. The liqueur is made by macerating the fruits in alcohol and then combining them with a sugar syrup to create a sweet and tart flavor. The liqueur has a deep purple color and is typically served chilled or on the rocks.
